Chloropicrin, ${\text{Cl}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CNO}}_{\text{2}},$ is an insecticide that has been used against insects that attack cereals and grains. It is a liquid with an intense odor. Predict the $\text{Cl}–\text{C}–\text{Cl,}\text{Cl}–\text{C}–\text{N,}\text{C}–\text{N}–\text{O,}\text{and}\text{O}–\text{N}–\text{O}$ bond angle in a molecule of chloropicrin.
