Consider a 3-atom molecule a-b-a for which b has a total of only two valence electrons. If you assume that b is a group ii metal, what is the bond angle for a-b-a? please answer in degrees to the nearest whole number.

The bond angle of the molecule to the nearest degree is 120 degrees.

What is the VSEPR theory?

According to the valence shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR). We know that the bond angle that an atom has with its neighbors which also call the dihedral angle of the compound is affected by the number of atoms that surround the central atom in the molecule.

Let us recall that when we have two atoms that surround the central atom then we are going to have a three atom compound which has a trigonal planar geometry and has a bond angle of 120 degrees.
