Which of the following has the least bond angle ?

A

`BeF_(2)`

B

`H_(2)O`

C

`NH_(3)`

D

`CH_(4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
Due to lp-lp repulsions, bond angle in `H_(2)O` is lower
` (104.5^(@))` than that is `NH_(3) (107^(@))" and CH_(4) (109^(@) 28^(@))` .
` BeF_(2)` , on the other hand , has sp-hybridixation and
hence has a bond angle of `180^(@)`.
