Answer:
The most reasonable estimate for the O–S–O bond angle in hyposulfite = 106°
Explanation:
Hyposulphite (so₂²⁻) is polyatomic ion .
According to VSEPR model
Total elrctron pairs [tex]=\frac{1}{2} [V+X -C+A][/tex]
V = Valence shell electrons of central element
X = No. of monovalent surrounding atoms
C = Cationic charge
A = Anionic charge
Total electron pairs [tex]=\frac{1}{2}[6+0-0+2]= 4[/tex]
That is two bond pairs and two lone pairs
