QNEET-2022-Ch-504: NEET 2022 Chemistry - Class 11 NEET-2022-Ch-504 Solution: The correct order of bond angles in the following…

The correct order of bond angles in the following compounds/species is: CO2<NH3<H2O<NH4+CO_2 < NH_3 < H_2O < NH_4^+ H2O<NH3<NH4+<CO2H_2O < NH_3 < NH_4^+ < CO_2 H2O<NH4+<NH3<CO2H_2O < NH_4^+ < NH_3 < CO_2 H2O<NH4+=NH3<CO2H_2O < NH_4^+ = NH_3 < CO_2

Multiple Choice Options

  • A CO 2 < NH 3 < H 2 O < NH4+\mathop {\mathrm{N{H_4}}}\limits^ + N H 4 _ + _
  • B H 2 O < NH 3 < NH4+\mathop {\mathrm{N{H_4}}}\limits^ + N H 4 _ + _ < CO 2
  • C H 2 O < NH4+\mathop {\mathrm{N{H_4}}}\limits^ + N H 4 _ + _ < NH 3 < CO 2
  • D H 2 O < NH4+\mathop {\mathrm{N{H_4}}}\limits^ + N H 4 _ + _ = NH 3 < CO 2

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

CO 2 _ sp 2 hybridisation, bond angle = 180 _ NH 4 + _ sp 3 hybridisation, bond angle = 109 _ 28' NH 3 _ sp 3 hybridisation with one lone pair on central atom, bond angle _ 107 _ H 2 O _ sp 3 hybridisation with two lone pairs on central atom, bond angle _ 104.5 _
