JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 4. Chemical bonding and molecular structure
Given below are two statements: Statement \(I:\) \(SO _2\) and \(H _2 O\) both possess V-shaped structure. Statement \(II:\) The bond angle of \(SO _2\) is less than that of \(H _2 O\). In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
- A Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are correct
- B Statement \(I\) is correct but Statement \(II\) is incorrect
- C Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are incorrect
- D Statement \(I\) is incorrect but Statement \(II\) is correct
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Statement \(I\) is correct but Statement \(II\) is incorrect
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Both are bent in shape. Bond angle of \(SO _2\left( sp ^2\right)\) is greater than that of \(H _2 O\) \(\left( sp ^3\right)\) due to higher repulsion of multiple bonds.
