Bond angle is minimum for

A

`H_(2)O`

B

`H_(2)S`

C

`H_(2)Se`

D

`H_(2)Te`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`{:(H_(2)O,H_(2)S,H_(2)Se,H_(2)Te),(104.5^(@),92.1^(@),91^(@),90^(@)):}`
As we go down the group electronegativity decreases due to which repulsion bonded pairs of electron also decreases. Hence, bond angle decreases.
