  • A
    130 and $115^{\circ}$
  • B
    106 and $96^{\circ}$
  • C
    107 and $108^{\circ}$
  • Correct answer
    D
    $96^{\circ}$ and $106^{\circ}$

Solution

In $\mathrm{SOCl}_{2}$, the $\mathrm{Cl}-\mathrm{S}-\mathrm{Cl}$ and $\mathrm{Cl}-\mathrm{S}-\mathrm{O}$ bond angles are respectively $96^{\circ}$ and $106^{\circ}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
