The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct order of bond angles between bond pair-bond pair of electrons in the molecules \( \overset{+}{N}O_2, H_2O, Cl_2, \) and \( BF_3 \), we will analyze each molecule step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze \( \overset{+}{N}O_2 \) - **Structure**: The nitronium ion \( \overset{+}{N}O_2 \) has a linear structure due to its sp hybridization. - **Bond Angle**: The bond angle is approximately \( 180^\circ \). ### Step 2: Analyze \( BF_3 \) - **Structure**: Boron trifluoride \( BF_3 \) has a trigonal planar structure due to its sp² hybridization. - **Bond Angle**: The bond angle is approximately \( 120^\circ \). ### Step 3: Analyze \( Cl_2 \) - **Structure**: Dichlorine \( Cl_2 \) is a diatomic molecule and does not have a traditional bond angle as it consists of only two atoms. - **Bond Angle**: The bond angle is effectively \( 180^\circ \) (similar to \( N_2 \)), but since it is not a polyatomic molecule, we will not consider it in the order of angles. ### Step 4: Analyze \( H_2O \) - **Structure**: Water \( H_2O \) has a bent shape due to its sp³ hybridization and the presence of lone pairs on oxygen. - **Bond Angle**: The bond angle is approximately \( 104.5^\circ \). ### Step 5: Compile the Bond Angles Now, we will summarize the bond angles we have determined: - \( \overset{+}{N}O_2 \): \( 180^\circ \) - \( BF_3 \): \( 120^\circ \) - \( H_2O \): \( 104.5^\circ \) - \( Cl_2 \): \( 180^\circ \) (not considered in the order) ### Step 6: Determine the Correct Order From the angles calculated, we can arrange them in descending order: 1. \( \overset{+}{N}O_2 \): \( 180^\circ \) 2. \( Cl_2 \): \( 180^\circ \) (but we will consider \( N_2 \) for the order) 3. \( BF_3 \): \( 120^\circ \) 4. \( H_2O \): \( 104.5^\circ \) Thus, the final order of bond angles from largest to smallest is: \[ \overset{+}{N}O_2 \approx Cl_2 > BF_3 > H_2O \] ### Final Answer The correct order of bond angles between bond pair-bond pair of electrons (biggest first) in \( \overset{+}{N}O_2, H_2O, Cl_2, \) and \( BF_3 \) is: \[ \overset{+}{N}O_2 > Cl_2 > BF_3 > H_2O \]
