Select the incorrect statement :
Options:
Answer:
D
Solution:
The bond angle of OCl₂ (110.9°) is smaller than dimethyl ether (CH₃OCH₃, 111.7°) due to the larger size of Cl atoms compared to CH₃ groups, leading to greater lone pair-bond pair repulsion and less bond pair-bond pair repulsion. Back bonding is not the primary factor. Therefore, statement D is incorrect.
