NEET · Chemistry · STD 11 - 4. Chemical bonding and molecular structure

Which of the following hydrides has the largest bond angle?

  1. A \(H _{2} S\)
  2. B \(H _{2} Te\)
  3. C \(H _{2} O\)
  4. D \(H _{2} Se\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(H _{2} O\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As we move down the group, the bond angle decreases due to decrease in bond pair- bond pair repulsion. hence \(H _2 O\) has the highest bond angle.
