Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 67

Question: The correct order of bond angles (smallest first) in $ H_2S,NH_3,BF_3 $ and $ SiH_4 $ is [AIEEE 2004]

Options:

A) $ H_2S\lt NH_3\lt SiH_4\lt BF_3 $

B) $ NH_3\lt H_2S\lt SiH_4\lt BF_3 $

C) $ H_2S\lt SiH_4\lt NH_3\lt BF_3 $

D) $ H_2S\lt NH_3\lt BF_3\lt SiH_4 $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

The correct order of bond angle (Smallest first) is $ H_2S \lt NH_3 \lt SiH_4 \lt BF_3 $

$ 92.6{}^\circ \lt 107{}^\circ \lt 109{}^\circ 28’\lt 120{}^\circ $
