Bond angle ma...

Question

Bond angle maximum among NH_3,NH₄⁺,PCl₃ , SCl2

Open in App

Solution

The bond angleis maximum in NH4+ as it has bond angle as 109.5°

NH4+...as others all have lone pairs but NH4+ does not...so it got the highest bond angle...with presence of lone pairs...repulsions increases n the bonds come near to each other n thus bond angle decreases...
