MCQ
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:

  • A
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are correct
  • Statement $I$ is correct but Statement $II$ is incorrect
  • C
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are incorrect
  • D
    Statement $I$ is incorrect but Statement $II$ is correct

Answer

Correct option: B.
Statement $I$ is correct but Statement $II$ is incorrect
b
Both are bent in shape.

Bond angle of $SO _2\left( sp ^2\right)$ is greater than that of $H _2 O$ $\left( sp ^3\right)$ due to higher repulsion of multiple bonds.
