Solution:
Species
$OF_{2}$
$OCl_{2}$
$ClO_{2}$
$H_{2}O$
Bond angle
$\text{103}^{\text{o}}$
$\text{111}^{\text{o}}$
$\text{118}^{\text{o}}$
$104^{\text{o}} 28 \text{'}$
| Species | $OF_{2}$ | $OCl_{2}$ | $ClO_{2}$ | $H_{2}O$ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bond angle | $\text{103}^{\text{o}}$ | $\text{111}^{\text{o}}$ | $\text{118}^{\text{o}}$ | $104^{\text{o}} 28 \text{'}$ |
