    Bond angle is minimum for [DPMT 1990]

    A) \[{{H}_{2}}O\]

    B) \[{{H}_{2}}S\]

    C) \[{{H}_{2}}Se\]

    D) \[{{H}_{2}}Te\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[{{H}_{2}}O\]          \[{{H}_{2}}S\]            \[CC{{l}_{4}}+{{I}_{2}}\,\to \]       \[{{H}_{2}}Te\] \[{{104.5}^{o}}\]       \[2NaI+C{{l}_{2}}\,\to \,2KCl+{{I}_{2}}\]            \[{{91}^{o}}\]          \[{{90}^{o}}\] As we go down the group electronegativity decreases due to which repulsion between bonded pairs of electron also decreases. Hence, bond angle decreases.
