What is bond angle O-S-O in \(\mathrm{SO}_2\) molecule?
- A \(107^{\circ}\)
- B \(180^{\circ}\)
- C \(90^{\circ}\)
- D \(119.5^{\circ}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(119.5^{\circ}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The bond angle is reduced from the ideal value of \(120^{\circ}\) to \(119.5^{\circ}\) because of the repulsion of the lone pair of atoms.
