Question

Decreasing order of bond angle is
(A) BeCI2>NO2>SO2
(b) SO2>BeCI2>NO2
(c) BeCl2>SO2>NO2​

Answer 1

Answer:

(A)

Expalination -

Bond Angle of BeCl2 = 180°

It's a linear structure.

Bond Angle of SO2 = 120°

It's a Bent structure

Bond Angle of NO2 = 134°

NO2 is an odd electron species. It is properly represented as a resonance hybrid of two structures, which odd electron on the nitrogen atom. The bond order for both the bonds is 1.5 each. The bond angles is experimentally determined to be 134 degrees.

So,

Decreasing order of Bond Angle is

BeCl2 > NO2 > SO2

Answer 2

BeCI2>NO2>SO2

option A is correct
