Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{BeCl}_2>\mathrm{BF}_3>\mathrm{SiCl}_4>\mathrm{SF}_6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{BeCl}_2\) has linear structure. So, the bond angle is \(180^{\circ}\). \(\mathrm{BF}_3\) has trigonal planar structure. So, the bond angle is \(120^{\circ}\). \(\mathrm{SiCl}_4\) has tetrahedral structure. So, the bond angle is \(109.5^{\circ}\). \(\mathrm{SF}_6\) has…
