Question

Which of the following molecule has the largest bond angle ?

• A. $B{F}_3$
• B. $N{H}_3$
• C. $C{O}_2$
• D. $S{F}_6$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $C{O}_2$

$B{F}_3$, $N{H}_3$, $C{O}_2$ and $S{F}_6$ undergo $s{p}^2,s{p}^3,sp$ and $s{p}^3{d}^2$ hybridization with trigonal planar, tetrahedral, linear and octahedral geometries respectively.
Hence, $C{O}_2$ has maximum bond angle of ${180}^0$.
