Question

In which of the following the bond angle is maximum?
(a) NH₃ (b) SCl₂
(c) NH₄⁺ (d) PCl₃

Answer 1

option A is correct......

Answer 2

(c) NH₄⁺

Explanation:

Bond angle of various molecules is as follows:

NH3 -- 107°

SCl2 -- 104°

NH4+ -- 109.5°

PCl3 -- 107°

We find that NH4+ has the maximum bond angle among the given molecules. This is because the number of electrons in NH4+ is 4 that means the hybridization will be sp3 and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be tetrahedral.

Option C is the answer.
