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.`. This bond angle is less than tetrahedral angle `(109^(@)28.)` due to greater lone pair-lone-pair repulsion.
