Question
The correct order of increasing bond angles in the following species is
Options
A.Cl2O < ClO2 < ClO2-
B.ClO2 < Cl2O < ClO2-
C.Cl2O < ClO2- < ClO2
D. ClO2- < Cl2O < ClO2
Solution
As the number of ione pair of electrons increases, band angle decreases due to repulsion between lp - lp. Moreover, as the electro negativity of central atom decreases, bond angle decreases.
Hence, the order of bond angle is
(Cl is less electronegative as compared to O.)
Hence, the order of bond angle is
(Cl is less electronegative as compared to O.)
