The bond angle is smallest in
H2O
H2S
BeCl2
N2O
B.
H2S
The bond angle of H2S is less than H2O because S is less electronegative than H2O. BeCl2 has linear structure, hence its bond angle is 180° The N2O molecule also has linear structure with bond angle 180°. Therefore, the smallest bond angle is of H2S.
Consider the following ions:
(i) Ni2+ (ii) Co2+ (iii) Cr2+ (iv) Fe3+
(Given, at. no. Cr = 24, Fe = 26, Co = 27, Ni = 28)
The correct order of magnetic moment of these ions is
(i) < (ii) < (iii) < (iv)
(iv) < (ii) < (iii) < (i)
(i) < (iii) < (ii) < (iv)
(iii) < (iv) < (ii) < (i)
The electron configuration of the oxide ion is much most similar to the electron configuration of the
sulphide ion
nitride ion
oxygen atom
nitrogen atom
