Correct order of bond angles are in

A

`H_(2)OgtOF_(2)gtCl_(2)OgtClO_(2)`

B

`OF_(2)gtH_(2)OgtCl_(2)OgtClO_(2)`

C

`ClO_(2)gtCl_(2)OgtH_(2)OgtOF_(2)`

D

`OF_(2)gtOCl_(2)gtH_(2)OgtClO_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In `ClO_(2)`, due to larger size of chlorine atom, repulsion between non-bonding electrons on the chlorine atoms overcome the lone pair-lone pair repulsion.Hence, the order of bond angle `ClO_(2)gtCl_(2)OgtH_(2)OgtOF_(2)`.
