Question

Which of the following is correct regarding bond angles?
(i) $SO_2 < H_2O$ $\quad\quad$ (ii) $H_2S < SO_2$
(iii) $SO_2 < H_2S \quad\quad (iv) SbH_3 < NO_2^+$

• A. (ii) and (iv)
• B. (i), (ii) and (iv)
• C. (i) and (iii)
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$\begin{matrix}&SbH_{3}&H_{2}O&H_{2}S&SO_{2}&NO^{+}_{2}\\ Bond angle :&91.3^{\circ}&104.5^{\circ}&109.5^{\circ}&120^{\circ}&180^{\circ}\end{matrix}$
