The bond angles of and are in the following order
Options:
Answer:
A
Solution:
Bond angles depend on electron pair repulsion and lone pairs:
- BeCl₂ → linear, 180°
- BCl₃ → trigonal planar, 120°
- CCl₄ → tetrahedral, 109.5°
- PCl₃ → trigonal pyramidal, ~107° (due to lone pair)
- BeCl₂ > BCl₃ > CCl₄ > PCl₃
