Bond angle in: ClO 2=118°, Cl 2 O =111°, F 2 O =103°, H 2 O =105°

Q. Which of the following sequences represent the correct increasing order of bond angles in the given molecules?

$Cl O_{2} < O F_{2} < OC l_{2} < H_{2} O$

$O F_{2} < H_{2} O < OC l_{2} < Cl O_{2}$

$OC l_{2} < Cl O_{2} < H_{2} O < O F_{2}$

$H_{2} O < O F_{2} < OC l_{2} < Cl O_{2}$

Bond angle in: $Cl O_{2} = 11 8^{\circ}, C l_{2} O = 11 1^{\circ}, F_{2} O = 10 3^{\circ}, H_{2} O = 10 5^{\circ}$

Q. Which of the following sequences represent the correct increasing order of bond angles in the given molecules?

ClO2​<OF2​<OCl2​<H2​O

OF2​<H2​O<OCl2​<ClO2​

OCl2​<ClO2​<H2​O<OF2​

H2​O<OF2​<OCl2​<ClO2​

Bond angle in: ClO2​=118∘,Cl2​O=111∘,F2​O=103∘,H2​O=105∘

$Cl O_{2} < O F_{2} < OC l_{2} < H_{2} O$

$O F_{2} < H_{2} O < OC l_{2} < Cl O_{2}$

$OC l_{2} < Cl O_{2} < H_{2} O < O F_{2}$

$H_{2} O < O F_{2} < OC l_{2} < Cl O_{2}$

Bond angle in: $Cl O_{2} = 11 8^{\circ}, C l_{2} O = 11 1^{\circ}, F_{2} O = 10 3^{\circ}, H_{2} O = 10 5^{\circ}$
