Question

What is the bond angle in $Cl{O}_2?$

• A. ${90}^o$
• B. ${118}^o$
• C. ${105}^o$
• D. ${111}^o$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

${118}^o$

The structure of $Cl{O}_2$ is angular. The $Cl-$ atom is $s{p}^2$-hybridized in the angular molecule with bond angle of ${118}^o$ and $Cl-O$ bond length of $1.47\stackrel{o}{A}$
