The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct order of decreasing bond angles in H₂S, NH₃, BF₃, and SiH₄, we will analyze the molecular geometry and hybridization of each compound. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Compounds and Their Structures**: - BF₃ (Boron Trifluoride) - SiH₄ (Silane) - NH₃ (Ammonia) - H₂S (Hydrogen Sulfide) 2. **Determine the Hybridization of Each Compound**: - **BF₃**: Boron is sp² hybridized (3 bonding pairs, no lone pairs). - **SiH₄**: Silicon is sp³ hybridized (4 bonding pairs, no lone pairs). - **NH₃**: Nitrogen is sp³ hybridized (3 bonding pairs, 1 lone pair). - **H₂S**: Sulfur is sp³ hybridized (2 bonding pairs, 2 lone pairs). 3. **Estimate the Bond Angles**: - **BF₃**: The bond angle is approximately 120° (due to sp² hybridization). - **SiH₄**: The bond angle is approximately 109.5° (due to sp³ hybridization). - **NH₃**: The bond angle is slightly less than 109.5° due to the presence of one lone pair, approximately 107°. - **H₂S**: The bond angle is significantly reduced due to two lone pairs, approximately 92°. 4. **Rank the Bond Angles**: - From the above estimates, we can rank the bond angles from highest to lowest: - BF₃: 120° - SiH₄: 109.5° - NH₃: 107° - H₂S: 92° 5. **Final Order of Decreasing Bond Angles**: - The correct order of decreasing bond angles is: - BF₃ > SiH₄ > NH₃ > H₂S ### Conclusion: The correct answer is option 2: BF₃ (120°) > SiH₄ (109.5°) > NH₃ (107°) > H₂S (approximately 92°). ---
