The decreasing order of bond angle in the following molecules is

  1. A \(\mathrm{NH}_3>\mathrm{CH}_4>\mathrm{H} 2 \mathrm{O}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}>\mathrm{NH}_3>\mathrm{CH}_4\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{CH}_4>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}>\mathrm{NH}_3\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{CH}_4>\mathrm{NH}_3>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{CH}_4>\mathrm{NH}_3>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{CH}_4\) no lone pairs BA is \(109^{\circ} 28^{\circ} \mathrm{NH}_3\), One L.P. BA is \(107^{\circ}\) and \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\), 2 L.P.
\(\therefore\) BA is \(104^{\circ}\)
