Consider the following molecules :
`H_(2)O H_(2)S H_(2) Se H_(2)Te `
`I II III IV`
Arrange these molecules in increasing order of bond angles

A

`I lt II lt III lt IV`

B

`IV lt III lt II lt I`

C

`I lt II lt IV lt III`

D

`II lt IV lt III lt I`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

As the electronegatively of central atom increases the bond angle increased due to repulsion between pond pair and bond pair as bond pairs are more close to the central atom.
