Some Basic Principles Of Organic Chemistry Question 112
Question: $ Cl-C-Cl $ angle in 1, 1, 2, 2 - tetrachloroethene and tetrachloromethane respectively are about [IIT-JEE 1988]
Options:
A) $ 120^{o} $ and $ {{109.5}^{o}} $
B) $ 90^{o} $ and $ {{109.5}^{o}} $
C) $ {{109.5}^{o}} $ and $ 90^{o} $
D) $ {{109.5}^{o}} $ and $ 120^{o} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
$ 120{}^\circ $ and $ 109.5{}^\circ $
$ \underset{\text{Bond angle }=\text{ 12}{{0}^{o}}}{\mathop{\underset{sp^{2}\text{-hybridization}}{\mathop{Cl-\underset{Cl}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{C}},}},=\underset{Cl}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{C}},}},-Cl}},}}, $
