Q. 19. The correct order of increasing bond angles in the following species are:




Sol:
The  correct order of increasing bond angle is 
            
* In  there are 2 lone pairs of electrons present on  the central chlorine atom. Therefore the bond angle in
  there are 2 lone pairs of electrons present on  the central chlorine atom. Therefore the bond angle in  _ is less than 118° which is the bond angle in
_ is less than 118° which is the bond angle in  which has less number  of electrons on chlorine.
 which has less number  of electrons on chlorine.
Answer : (3)
Q. 20. Which of the following alkaline earth metal sulphates has hydration enthalpy higher than the lattice enthalpy?
Sol:
