Consider the molecules CH4, NH3 and H2O. Which of the given statement is false ?

The H–C –H bond angle is CH4 is larger than the H–N–H bond angle is NH3

The H–C– H bond angle is CH4 the H–N–H bond angle in NH3 and the H–O–H bond angle in H2O are all greater than 90º.

Then H–O–H bond angle in H2O is larger than the H–C–H bond angle in CH4

The H–O–H bond angle in H2O is smaller than the H–N–H bond angle in NH3

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct answer is:

CH 4 — → sp 3 — → Bond angle = 109º 281

NH 3 — → sp 3 — → Bond angle = 107º

H 2 O — → sp 3 — → Bond angle = 104º 5
