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:
Multiple Choice Options
- A CO 2 < NH 3 < H 2 O < N H 4 _ + _
- B H 2 O < NH 3 < N H 4 _ + _ < CO 2
- C H 2 O < N H 4 _ + _ < NH 3 < CO 2
- D H 2 O < 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 _
