Which of the least bond angle ?...

Which of the least bond angle ?

A

`NH_3`

B

`BeF_2`

C

`H_2O`

D

`CH_4`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Due to lp - lprepulsions, bond angle in `H_2O` is lower `(104.5^@)` than that in `NH_3(107^@)` and `CH_4 (109^@ 28.) BeF_2` on the other hand, has sp-hybridization and hence has a bond angle of `180^@`.
