Hybridization theory can explain shape of some molecules but VSEPR theory can explain shapes involving lone pairs as well. This is because VSEPR is based on attraction and repulsions of electron pairs. According to VSEPR:

lone pair - lone pair repulsion > lone pair - bond pair repulsion > bond pair - bond pair repulsion

 

Considering these factors various shape of molecules viz. Bent, pyramidal, see saw, bent T shape, pentagonal planar, square planar etc can be explained.

Which of the following bond angle order is correct

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

has angle close to 900 due to Drago's rule hence has less angle than
