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
(A) Electronegativity of the central atom decreases down the group
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The electronegativity of the central atom decreases down the group (O > S > Se > Te). As the electronegativity of the central atom decreases, the shared electron pairs in the M-H bonds are less attracted towards the central atom and are pushed further away, closer to the…

- Read the passage carefully. Attempt the questions.
An overwhelming majority (99 per cent) of animals and nearly all plants cannot maintain a constant internal environment. Their body temperature changes with the ambient temperature. In aquatic animals, the osmotic concentration of the body fluids change with that of the ambient air and water osmotic concentration. These animals and plants are simply conformers. Considering the benefits of a constant internal environment to the organism, we must ask why these conformers had not evolved to become regulators. Recall the human analogy we used above; much as they like, how many people can really afford an air conditioner? Many simply 'sweat it out' and resign themselves to suboptimal performance in hot summer months. Very small animals are rarely found in polar regions. During the course of evolution, the costs and benefits of maintainin a constant internal environment are taken into consideration. Some species have evolved the ability to regulate, but only over a limited range of environmental conditions, beyond which they simply conform.
If the stressful external conditions are localised or remain only for a short duration, the organism has five other alternatives for survival.
