The correct order of bond angles of the following is array cccc H ₂ O & NH ₃ & CH ₄ & SO ₂ I & II & III & IV array
Options
- AIV > III > II > I
- BIV > III > I > II
- CI > II > III > IV
- DI > II > IV > III
Correct answer
A. IV > III > II > I
Step-by-step solution
The bond angles are determined on the basis of hybridization of the central atom and the number of lone pairs and bond pairs that cause the repulsion and affect the bond angle. Thus, bond angle varies as IV > III > II > I.
