Place the following in order of increasing x-a-x bond angle, where a represents the central atom and x represents the outer atoms in each molecule.

Placing the compound in order of decreasing X-A-X bond angle, where A represents the central atom and X represents the outer atoms in each molecule.are

A bond that is strong is said to have higher bond energy as it takes more energy to break a strong bond.

As bond strength increases, the atoms in the held together and are pulled more tightly together.

A high bond energy implies that a bond is strong and the molecule that has that bond may be stable and less reactive.

The complete question below

Place the following in order of decreasing X-A-X bond angle, where A represents the central atom and X represents the outer atoms in each molecule.

N2O NCl3 NO2⁻

Place the following in order of decreasing X-A-X bond angle, where A represents the central atom and X represents the outer atoms in each molecule.

N2O NCl3 NO2⁻

N2O > NO2⁻ > NCl3

Explanation:

The N2O with a Linear molecular geometry has a bond angle of 180 degrees.

The NO2 molecular geometry is trigonal pyramidal -with a bond angle of about 120 degrees

The NCl3 with a molecular geometry of trigonal pyramidal the bond angle will be about 109 degrees as a lone pair to pushes down the sides bonds.

your answer is c) plasma
