Compare x and y bond angles in the following molecule - Vidyadip

MCQ

Compare $x$ and $y$ bond angles in the following molecule

✓
$x > y$
B
$y > x$
C
$x = y$
D
None 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 $y$.
