Question

Given below are two statements :

Statement I : ${SO}_{2}$ and $H_{2} O$ both possess V-shaped structure

Statement II : The bond angle of ${SO}_{2}$ is less than that of $H_{2} O$ .

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Correct answer: (D) Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect. The molecule SO_2 is having two sigma bond pairs and lone pair, hence, it exhibits angular or V-shape structure. The molecule H_2O is having two sigma bond pairs and a lone pair hence, it exhibits angular or V-shape structure. So, both molecules are having same shape. But double bond-double bond repulsions are greater than single bond repulsions, hence, the bond angle in sulphur dioxide is greater than water. SO_2 and H_2O both have V-Shape Bond angle: SO_2 > H_2O

Given below are two statements :
Statement I : ${SO}_{2}$ and $H_{2} O$ both possess V-shaped structure
Statement II : The bond angle of ${SO}_{2}$ is less than that of $H_{2} O$ .
