Vedclass · Answer

(A) In $1, 1, 2, 2-$tetrachloroethene $(Cl_2C=CCl_2)$,each carbon atom is $sp^2$ hybridized,which corresponds to a trigonal planar geometry with a bond angle of approximately $120^{\circ}$.In tetrachloromethane $(CCl_4)$,the central carbon atom is $sp^3$ hybridized,which corresponds to a tetrahedral geometry with a bond angle of $109.5^{\circ}$.Therefore,the correct bond angles are $120^{\circ}$ and $109.5^{\circ}$ respectively.

	Molecule	Hybridization	Geometry	Number of lone pairs of electrons on central atom
$I$	$SiH_4$	$sp^3$	tetrahedral	$0$
$II$	$BeCl_2$	$sp^2$	linear	$1$
$III$	$SF_4$	$dsp^3$	square planar	$1$
$IV$	$SnCl_2$	$sp$	linear	$0$

The $Cl-C-Cl$ bond angle in $1, 1, 2, 2-$tetrachloroethene and tetrachloromethane respectively are about:
