Question:medium

In which of the following options, the molecules are correctly arranged in the increasing order of their bond angles?

Show Hint

VSEPR Theory General Rules for Bond Angles: 1. Start with the ideal angle based on the number of electron domains (Linear: 180°, Trigonal Planar: 120°, Tetrahedral: 109.5°). 2. Lone pair - lone pair repulsion>lone pair - bonding pair repulsion>bonding pair - bonding pair repulsion. 3. Lone pairs and multiple bonds occupy more space than single bonds and thus compress the angles between other bonds.

\( \text{H}_2\text{O}<\text{O}_3<\text{NH}_3<\text{SO}_2 \)
\( \text{H}_2\text{O}<\text{NH}_3<\text{SO}_2<\text{O}_3 \)
\( \text{H}_2\text{O}<\text{NH}_3<\text{O}_3<\text{SO}_2 \)
