is maximum because
A
oxygen contains two lone pairs of electrons
B
bond angle in 
is less than 
due to VSEPR
is less than due to VSEPR C
oxygen is more electronegative than C or N
D
is an associated liquid
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Oxygen is more electronegative than C or N , thus bonding pair is pulled by oxygen making ionisation of 
easier and thus making it more acidic than 
and 
.
