To determine which of the given triatomic molecules has an observed bond angle of `116° 49'`, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze H₂O - **Structure**: H₂O has an oxygen atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms. - **Hybridization**: The oxygen atom is sp³ hybridized. - **Lone Pairs**: There are two lone pairs on the oxygen atom. - **Bond Angle**: The ideal bond angle for sp³ hybridization is `109° 28'`. However, due to the presence of two lone pairs, the bond angle is compressed and is less than `109° 28'`. - **Conclusion**: H₂O does not have a bond angle of `116° 49'`. ...
