Single Choice

In which of the following is the angle between the two covalent bonds greatest ?

A$$CO_{2}$$
Correct Answer
B$$CH_{4}$$
C$$NH_{3}$$
D$$H_{2}O$$

Solution

Consider the hybridization of the options:-

A) CO2 - sp hybridization. Hence the bond angle is 180∘.

B) CH4 - sp3 hybridization. Hence the bond angle is 109∘28′.

C) NH3 - sp3 hybridization. Hence the bond angle is aroud 109∘28′.

D) H2O - sp3 hybridization. Hence the bond angle is around 109∘28′.

Hence option A is the right answer.
