MCQ
Which of the following hydrides has the largest bond angle?
  • A
    $H _{2} S$
  • B
    $H _{2} Te$
  • $H _{2} O$
  • D
    $H _{2} Se$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$H _{2} O$
c
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.
