Question

why the bond angle of so3 is greater than so2?

Answer 1

Hola there this is hecause the Valence Shell Electron Pairs Repel each other when they do so they are forced to the opposite side of the Sulfur atom givingSO2 a Bent molecular shape The lone pair of electrons is at the top of the SO2molecule The SO2 bond angle will be 120 degrees since it has a Bent molecular geometry

Answer 2

Answer:bond angle of so3>bond angle of so2

Explanation:In comparison of so3 and so2,so2 has a lone pair in its bonding,on the other hand so3 has an extra s double bond o. But according to the fact that repulsion between bond bond is less than lone pair bond pair,the molecule relaxes in so3 as compared to so2.
