Question

State True or False.

The bond angle in $C{l}_{2}O$ is equal to that of $O{F}_2$.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

The bond angle in dichlorooxide is $111$${}^o$
The bond angle in difluorooxide is $103$${}^o$
Thus, the bond angle in dichlorooxide is greater than the bond angle in difluorooxide.
This is because chlorine has larger size than fluorine.
