MHT CET 2024 Chemistry question

Identify the angle O-S-O in molecule

(A)Correct
(B)
(C)
(D)

Answer: (A)

Solution

In the sulphur atom is hybridised: it has two bond pairs (S=O/S→O) and one lone pair, so the electron geometry is trigonal planar and the shape is V (bent). An ideal angle would be , but the lone pair repels the bond pairs more strongly than the
