  1. A H2O<H2 S<H2Se<H2Te
  2. B H2 S<H2O<H2Se<H2Te
  3. C H2Se<H2 S<H2O<H2Te
  4. D H2Te<H2Se<H2 S<H2O
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) H2Te<H2Se<H2 S<H2O

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As we move down to the group, the size of the central metal ion will increase and due to this the bond pair-bond pair repulsion will go on decreasing and therefore the two small hydrogen come closer to each other and so it causes decrease in H-M-H bond angle and hence the bond…
