Question

Consider the following oxides 1. OF2 2. Cl2O 3. Br2O 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

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 <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="Solution" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/q/nta/c-53fgxyyubfi1.png" />

Q. Consider the following oxides

$1.$ $O F_{2}$

$2.$ $C l_{2} O$

$3.$ $B r_{2} O$

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

1 > 2 > 3

3 > 2 > 1

2 > 1 > 3

1 > 3 > 2

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
