Elements of group-15, 16 and 17 form compounds with hydrogen with general formula MH3, H 2 M and HX (called hydrogen halides). Stability of these hydrides, along with M-H bond strength and basic nature decreases down the group. Boiling point of these hydrides mainly depends on the strength of their inter molecular forces.
Bond angle (HMH) among hydrides of group-16 decreases down the group because:
- A Electronegativity of the central atom decreases down the group
- B Size of central atom decreases down the group
- C Bond pair-bond pair repulsion decreases down the group with the decrease in difference of electronegativity between hydrogen and central atom
- D Lone-pair bond pair repulsion increases down the group
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Bond pair-bond pair repulsion decreases down the group with the decrease in difference of electronegativity between hydrogen and central atom
Step-by-step Solution

- Read the given passage and answer the question.
ABO blood groups in human beings are controlled by the gene I. The plasma membrane of the red blood cells has sugar polymers that protrude from its surfaces and the kind of sugar is controlled by the gene. The gene (I) has three alleles IA, IB and I. The alleles IA and IB produce a slightly different form of the sugar while allele i does not produce any sugar. Because humans are diploid organisms, each person possesses any two of the three I gene alleles, IA and IB are completely dominant over I.
