Question

Consider the following oxides

$1.$ $OF_{2}$

$2.$ $Cl_{2}O$

$3.$ $Br_{2}O$

The correct sequence of $X-O-X$ bond angle is

• A. 1 > 2 > 3
• B. 3 > 2 > 1
• C. 2 > 1 > 3
• D. 1 > 3 > 2

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

The above compounds are the dihalogen oxides as the size of the Halogen atom increases the $X-O-X$ bond of

Here bond angle decrease as follows
