Which of the following molecules is bent and has a bond angle close to 118° around the central atom?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) has a bent shape with a bond angle of approximately 119° around the central sulfur atom. Boron trifluoride (BF3) is a trigonal planar molecule with a bond angle close to 120°, while ammonia (NH3) is a pyramidal molecule with a bond angle close to 107°. Therefore, the only molecule with a bent shape and a bond angle close to 118° is sulfur dioxide (SO2).
