Which one of the following molecules has the smallest bond angle ?A. `NH_3`B. `PH_3`C. `H_2O`D. `H_2Se`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
All these molecules involved `sp^3`-hybridisation with one lone pair (`NH_3 and PH_3`) or two lone pairs (`H_2O`, `H_2Se` and `H_2S`). More the number of lone pairs, smaller is the angle. Out of `H_2O`, `H_2S` and `H_2Se`, H-Se-H angle in `H_2Se` is least (`91^(@)`).
