Q12 / 90 · JEE Main 2016 (10 Apr Online) · Chemistry

The bond angle H-X-H is the greatest in the compound :

A
$P H_{3}$
Correct answer
B
$C H_{4}$
C
$N H_{3}$
D
$H_{2} O$

Solution

	Molecule	Hybridization	Bond Angle
1.	$P H_{3}$	No	$93^{o}$
2.	$C H_{4}$	$s p^{3}$	$109^{o} 28'$
3.	$N H_{3}$	$s p^{3}$	$107^{o}$
4.	$H_{2} O$	$s p^{3}$	${104.5}^{o}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
