MCQ
The bond angle of water is ${104.5^o}$ due to
- ✓Repulsion between lone pair and bond pair
- B$s{p^3}$ hybridization of $O$
- CBonding of ${H_2}O$
- DHigher electronegativity of $O$
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
Repulsion between lone pair and bond pair
a
The bond angle in $H _2 O$ is $104.5^{\circ}$ due to the presence of two lone pair of electrons. This fact can be explained with the help of valence shell electron pair repulsion theory ($VSEPR$).
