Q. Among the following molecules, the one with the largest bond angle at the central atom is

KVPYKVPY 2017Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

Solution:

The bond angle depends upon the electronegativity of the central atom. More is the electronegativity of the central, larger is the bond angle. Thus, among the given central atom $Cl$ has the highest electronegativity. Therefore, $ClF_3$ has the largest bond angle at the central atom.
