Consider the following molecules and find the magnitude of the bond angle observed in the maximum number of molecules:
IF₄⁻, NO₃⁻, CF₄, CH₃⁺, CO₃²⁻, BF₃, XeF₅⁻, XeO₃F₂, XeO₃
(If your answer is 104°32', then you should fill 104.32 in the OMR.)
Answer:
120.00
Solution:
Angle: This angle is present in CH₃⁺, CO₃²⁻, and BF₃ (all trigonal planar), as well as in the equatorial positions of XeO₃F₂ (trigonal bipyramidal).
Other Angles: CF₄ is tetrahedral (), IF₇ is pentagonal bipyramidal ( and ), XeF₂ is linear (), NO₂⁻ is bent (), and XeO₃ is pyramidal ().
Since the angle is the most frequent among the given species, the magnitude is 120.00.
