The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the hydrides of VIA group elements (Group 6A), we need to determine which hydride has the largest bond angle and which has the largest bond length. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the VIA Group Elements**: The VIA group elements include oxygen (O), sulfur (S), selenium (Se), tellurium (Te), and polonium (Po). 2. **Write the Hydrides**: The hydrides formed by these elements are: - H2O (water) - H2S (hydrogen sulfide) - H2Se (hydrogen selenide) - H2Te (hydrogen telluride) - H2Po (hydrogen polonide) 3. **Analyze Bond Angles**: - The bond angle in these hydrides is influenced by the presence of lone pairs on the central atom. - As we move down the group from oxygen to polonium, the size of the central atom increases, and the repulsion between the lone pairs decreases due to increased distance. - The bond angle decreases down the group. Therefore, the largest bond angle will be in H2O, followed by H2S, H2Se, H2Te, and H2Po. 4. **Determine the Largest Bond Angle**: - The largest bond angle is found in H2O (approximately 104.5°). 5. **Analyze Bond Lengths**: - Bond length increases down the group due to the increasing atomic size of the central atom. - Therefore, the bond lengths will be in the order: H2O < H2S < H2Se < H2Te < H2Po. 6. **Determine the Largest Bond Length**: - The largest bond length is found in H2Po. 7. **Final Answer**: - The largest bond angle is in H2O, and the largest bond length is in H2Po. ### Conclusion: The answer to the question is: - **Largest bond angle**: H2O - **Largest bond length**: H2Po
