What is the bond angle of SO42?

Answer 1

Sulphur dioxide has 2 sigma bond electron pairs and 1 lone pair of electrons, meaning the shape is V-shaped, or bent. There is extra repulsion from the lone pair of electrons, so the bond angle is a little smaller than 120 degrees. - 119 degrees is the answer.

Answer 2

Sulfur dioxide is a bent molecule with two lone pairs. The sulfur atom is directly bonded with two oxygen atoms on the same plane. According to the VSEPR theory, it has a bond angle of 91 degrees.

Answer 3

The sulfate ion when in solution has a tetrahedral geometry- and therfore a bond angle of 109.5 degrees

Answer 4

The sulfate ion is tetrahedral with shape. It has no lone pairs located on the central atom, sulfur. Therefore, every bond angle in the sulfate ion is approximately equal to 109.5 degrees.

Answer 5

The bond angle of SO4^2- is approximately 109.5 degrees, which is consistent with a tetrahedral molecular geometry.

Answer 8

91.5

Answer 9

109.5
