The correct order of increasing bond angles in the following species is

  1. Cl2O < ClO2 < ClO2-
  2. ClO2 < Cl2O < ClO2-
  3. Cl2O < ClO2- < ClO2
  4. ClO2- < Cl2O < ClO2

Answer

(4) ClO2- < Cl2O < ClO2

Solution

ClO2-: Cl has 2 bond pairs + 2 lone pairs (sp3); two lone pairs compress the angle about 110°.

Cl2O: O has 2 bond pairs + 2 lone pairs (sp3), but the two large Cl atoms repel each other angle opens to about 111°, slightly more than in ClO2-.

ClO2: Cl has 2 bond pairs, 1 lone pair and 1 odd electron; an odd electron repels much less than a lone pair, and Cl–O bonds have partial double bond character about 118°.

Increasing bond angle: ClO2- < Cl2O < ClO2

Answer: (4)
