The bond angle in water molecule is nearly Or Directed bonds in water forms an angle of

A

`120^@`

B

`180^@`

C

`109^@28'`

D

`104^@ 30'`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`H = 1/2 (V + M - C + A)`
`H = 1/2 (6 + 2 - 0 + 0) =4`

So it will show `sp^3` hybridization with 2 lone pairs and bent structure. Bond angle is `104.5^@`.
