Which of the following species has maximum bond angle?
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
Bond angle depends on electronegativity and size of surrounding atoms. Larger atoms or less electronegative atoms lead to larger bond angles. OCl₂ has the largest bond angle due to the larger size of Cl atoms compared to F and H, and lower electronegativity than F.
Concepts Used:
VSEPR theory, electronegativity, atomic size.
