Vedclass · Answer

(A) In $SO_2Cl_2$,the central sulfur atom is $sp^3$ hybridized.According to $VSEPR$ theory,the repulsion between bond pairs follows the order: $double-double > double-single > single-single$.Here,$x$ is the angle between two $S=O$ double bonds,and $y$ is the angle between two $S-Cl$ single bonds.Since the repulsion between the two $S=O$ double bonds is greater than the repulsion between the two $S-Cl$ single bonds,the bond angle $x$ will be greater than the bond angle $y$ $(x > y)$.
