Consider the moleculesCH4, NH3andH2O. Which of the given statements is false?NEET 2016 (Phase 1)

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:
Bond AngleMolecule
104.5oH2O
107oNH3
109o28′CH4

All the molecules aresp3hybridized and Bond angle ofH2Ois smaller thanNH3because inH2Otwo lone pairs are present due to which there will be more lone pair-lone pair repulsion while inNH3,only one lone pair is present, so lone pair-bond pair repulsion is present only.
