Correct order of bond angles in the given compounds is/are : [SEE DIAGRAM] — Chemical Bonding Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

According to Bent's rule, there is less s-character in C—F bonds in COF2 than in C—Cl bonds in case of COCl2 hence \gamma' > \gamma and \angleFCF is less than 120°. \alpha = \beta as both C—F bonds are equivalent similarly \alpha' = \beta' as both C—Cl bonds are equivalent \alpha = \beta > \gamma and \beta > \beta'.
