Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Ques 97
97. In which of the following, the bond angle is maximum?
[2001]
(a) $NH_3$
(c) $NH_4^{+}$
(b) $SCl_2$
(d) $PCl_3$
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 97.(c)
Solution:
(c) In all the species, the center atom is $s p^{3}$ hybridized. But only in $NH_4^{+}$, no lone pair of electrons are present. Thus, it has maximum bond angle.
