In which of the following, the molecules are arranged in the increasing order of their bond angles?

1. $\mathrm{P}_4 < \mathrm{S}_6 < \mathrm{O}_3 < \mathrm{S}_8$
2. $\mathrm{S}_6 < \mathrm{O}_3 < \mathrm{S}_8 < \mathrm{P}_4$
3. $\mathrm{O}_3 < \mathrm{S}_8 < \mathrm{P}_4 < \mathrm{S}_6$
4. $\mathrm{P}_4 < \mathrm{S}_6 < \mathrm{S}_8 < \mathrm{O}_3$

Solution

Increasing order of bond angles :- $\mathrm{P}_4 < \mathrm{S}_6 < \mathrm{S}_8 < \mathrm{O}_3 .$
