Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 22

Question: The correct order towards bond angle is [RPMT 1997]

Options:

A) $ sp\lt sp^{2}\lt sp^{3} $

B) $ sp^{2}\lt sp\lt sp^{3} $

C) $ sp^{3}\lt sp^{2}\lt sp $

D) Bond angle does not depend on hybridization

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Increasing order of bond angle is $ \underset{109{}^\circ }{\mathop{sp^{3}}},<\underset{120{}^\circ }{\mathop{sp^{2}}},<\underset{180{}^\circ }{\mathop{sp}}, $ .
