The H—O—H bond in water molecule is:

A

`104^(@) 31'`

B

`120^(@)`

C

`180^(@)`

D

`109^(@)28'`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In water molecule, H—O—H bond angle is `104^(@) 31.` his bond angle is less than tetrahedral angle (`109^(@) 28.` due to greater lone pair-lone-pair repulsion.
