A) \[{{90}^{o}}\]
B) \[{{120}^{o}}\]
C) \[{{104.5}^{o}}\]
D) \[{{60}^{o}}\]
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Oxygen atom is present in \[s{{p}^{3}}\] hybridisation state in \[{{H}_{2}}O\] molecule. Geometry of water molecule is V-shaped, not tetrahedral because only two bonds are formed. Two hybrid orbitals do not form bond. Due to the presence of two lone pair of electrons on the oxygen atoms \[H-O-H\]bond angle is \[{{104.5}^{o}}\]\[({{105}^{o}})\] and not \[{{109}^{o}}\,{{28}^{'}}\].You need to login to perform this action.
