MCQ
Compare $x$ and $y$ bond angles in the following molecule
- ✓$x > y$
- B$y > x$
- C$x = y$
- DNone of these
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
$x > y$
a
Chlorine is more electronegative than oxygen. Hence, the bond pair of electrons are more towards chlorine than towards oxygen. Hence, $S - Cl$ bond pair of electrons experience less repulsion than $S = O$ bond pair of electrons. Hence, the bond angle $x$ is greater than the bond angle $y$.
