Which of the following is a the most preferred and hence of the lower energy for `SO_(3)`?A. B. C. D. |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - D In `ClO_2`, Cl is `sp^2` hybridized and the bond angle is `118^(@)` In `Cl_2O`, O is `sp^3` hybridized. However, due to repulsion between two large sized Cl atoms the bond angle increases from `109.5^(@)` to `111^(@)` . In `ClO_2^(-)`, Cl atom is `sp^2` hybridized but due to lp-dp repulsions, the bond angle decreases from normal tetrahedral value to `103^(@)`. Thus the increasing order of bond angle is `ClO_2^(-)` lt `Cl_2O` lt`ClO_2` |
