Which proposed comparisons are FALSE? Angles use standard equilibrium shapes; for carbonate use the resonance-averaged C–O bond.

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
B, D
Solution:

Nitronium is linear, whereas nitrite is bent, so B reverses the angle order. The usual angle sequence is CH₄≈109.5°>NH₃≈107°>H₂O≈104.5°, rejecting D. Greater oxygen content strengthens the chlorine oxyacid, and the double C=O bond is shorter than the resonance-averaged carbonate bond, so A and C are true.
