According to Bent Rule.

Q. The bond length of the $S - O$ bond is maximum in which of the following compound? $SOB r_{2}, SOC l_{2}, SO F_{2}$

$SOC l_{2}$

$SOB r_{2}$

$SO F_{2}$

All have same length

In $SOB r_{2}$ , $S - O$ bond has maximum bond length in comparision to $S - O$ bond lengths in $SO F_{2}$ and $SOC l_{2}$ , because in $SOB r_{2}$ , $S - O$ bond has been formed by hybrid orbital containing less s-character. According to Bent Rule.
