The maximum bond angle in hydrides of group 16-elements is in : (a) H2Te (b) H2Se (c) H2S (d) H2O

Answer»

Correct option (d) H2O

Explanation:

As we move down the group, the bond angle decrease due to decrease in bond pair-bond pair repulsion. 

 H2O H2S H2Se H2Te 

Bond angle 104.5° 92.2° 91° 90°
