    Which has the least bond angle                 [NCERT 1973;                                                                         DPMT 1990; CBSE PMT 1990; UPSEAT 2003]

    A)                 \[N{{H}_{3}}\]  

    B)                 \[Be{{F}_{2}}\]

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

    D)                 \[C{{H}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Due to \[lp-lp\] repulsions, bond angle in \[{{H}_{2}}O\] is lower \[({{104}^{o}}{{.5}^{o}})\] than that in \[N{{H}_{3}}\]\[({{107}^{o}})\] and \[C{{H}_{4}}({{109}^{o}}2{8}')\]. \[Be{{F}_{2}}\] on the other hand, has sp-hybridization and hence has a bond angle of \[{{180}^{o}}\].
