Question

ClO2, Cl2O, ClO2-.arrange with increasing bond angle with explanations?​

Answer 1

Answer:

angle of ClO2 is 7+6×2=19the bond angle of Cl2O is 7×2+6=20the bond angle of ClO2- is 7+6×2+1=20so the order is ClO2>Cl2O>ClO2-...

Answer 2

ClO₂⁻ < Cl₂O < ClO₂ (Bond Angle)

Reason : ClO₂⁻ has 7+6+6+1=20 total valence electrons to distribute.

ClO₂ has 7+6+6=19 total valence electrons to distribute.

Cl₂O has oxygen at the center (with chlorine having its typical valency as a halogen) and has 7+7+6=20 total valence electrons to distribute.
