Detailed Solution

In the following species, the rising bond angles should be in the proper order:

ClO2<ClO2<ClO2+
This is because two lone pairs of electrons in ClO2- oppose one another, causing two oxygen atoms to move in closer together and reduce the bond angle. Due to the fact that chlorine has fewer electrons than oxygen, the bond angle in ClO2- is less than 118°.
