Which pair has symmetry-equivalent central-atom bonds that retain the ideal tetrahedral bond angle in the isolated ion, despite multiple-bond contributions in its Lewis resonance descriptions?
Options:
Answer:
A
Solution:
Sulfate and phosphate have four equivalent oxygen positions in a tetrahedral arrangement. Symmetry retains the tetrahedral angle despite resonance or multiple-bond descriptions. Sulfite and chlorate have central lone pairs; nitrite is bent and nitrate trigonal planar; the oxyhalides in D are pyramidal.
