Which of the following chemical species having bond angle greater than the bond angle of $Cl - \hat{O} - Cl$ angle in $OCl_{2}$ :

$O B r_{2}, O F_{2}, H_{2} O, BC l_{3}, N F_{3}$

Answer:

Solution:

OCl₂ → bent, bond angle ≈ 111°

Compare:

OBr₂ ≈ 102°

OF₂ ≈ 103°

H₂O ≈ 104.5°

BCl₃ → trigonal planar → 120°

NF₃ ≈ 102°
