The correct order of increasing bond angles in the following species is:

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

1. : hybridization on oxygen, two lone pairs. Bond angle .2. : hybridization on chlorine, two lone pairs. More repulsion than due to central atom size and charge.3. : Odd electron molecule, hybridized. One unpaired electron and one lone pair. Repulsion from lone pairs is less than in . Angle .Order: .
