What is the bond angle in \(\mathrm{ClO}_2\) (OClO)?
- A \(90^{\circ}\)
- B \(118^{\circ}\)
- C \(105^{\circ}\)
- D \(111^{\circ}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(118^{\circ}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The structure of \(\mathrm{ClO}_2\) is angular. The \(\mathrm{Cl}\)-atom is \(s p^3\)-hybridised in the angular molecule with bond angle of \(118^{\circ}\) and \(\mathrm{Cl}-\mathrm{O}\) bond length of \(1.47 Å\).
