Given below are two statements : Statement I : SO 2 and H 2 O both possess V-shaped structure Statement II : The bond angle of SO 2 is less than that of H 2 O . In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Options

  1. ABoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
  2. BBoth Statement I and Statement II are correct
  3. CStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
  4. DStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

Correct answer

D. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

Step-by-step solution

The molecule SO 2 is having two sigma bond pairs and lone pair, hence, it exhibits angular or V-shape structure. The molecule H 2 O is having two sigma bond pairs and a lone pair hence, it exhibits angular or V-shape structure. So, both molecules are having same shape. But double bond-double bond repulsions are greater than single bond repulsions, hence, the bond angle in sulphur dioxide is greater than water. SO 2 and H 2 O both have V-Shape Bond angle: SO 2   >   H 2 O
