Statement II : The bond angle of 
is less than that of 
.
choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
and 
both possess V -shaped structure but the bond angle of 
because of the presence of two lone pairs in 
, due to which repulsion is greater ( 
repulsion), so bond angle decreases to greater extent.
