Because ClO3- has a lone pair on the central Cl atom, which pushes harder away than a bond would.
ClO3 has the smaller bond angle than ClO4
Tetrahedral bond angle of a molecule which have a lone pair electron is 107, smaller than regular 109.5, due to the repulsion of electrons of lone pair.
No, the bond angle for linear structure is 180 degrees.
bond angle
The molecular geometry and bond angle of clone is the result of a tetrahedral electron. It is common to be called a bent molecule.
ClO3 has the smaller bond angle than ClO4
The perchlorate ion has one available bond.
Oxygen does not form a covalent bond with chloride, but oxygen does form covalent bonds with chlorine in the polyatomic ions perchlorate (ClO4-1), chlorate (ClO3-1), chlorite (ClO2-1), and hypochlorite (ClO-1).
The answer is clo4- because it has the greatest bond order
1
The larger the central atom is the less the hydrogens have to spread out (because the electron repulsions are smaller) and the smaller the resulting angle.
Its more a matter of whether the bond has a smaller angle than bonds in other very similar compounds. A smaller angle than expected is said to cause strain- i.e. it breaks more easily. Examples from organic chemistry include cyclo alkanes with bond angles less than tetrahedral.

Tetrahedral bond angle of a molecule which have a lone pair electron is 107, smaller than regular 109.5, due to the repulsion of electrons of lone pair.
Bond angle is 109.5 degrees.It is equal in every bond
NH4+ is tetrahedral, with bond angle of 109.5o
the f-p-f bond angle is 120the cl -p-cl bond angle is 180and the f - p - cl bond angle is 90
