Why does bond angle in hydrides decrease on going down the group?

Q. Assertion :Acidic character of group 16 hydrides increases from

H_{2} O

H_{2} T e

. Reason: Thermal stability of hydrides decreases down the group.

Q. True order of bond angle among group-16 hydrides is:

Q. Assertion :Hydrides of group-16 elements show volatility in the order :

H_{2} O > H_{2} S > H_{2} S e > H_{2} T e

Reason: Electronegativity of group-16 elements increases down the group from oxygen to tellurium.

Q. Consider the following statements regarding hydrides of VIA group elements.
i) The order of volatility

H_{2} O < H_{2} T e < H_{2} S e < H_{2} S

ii) The order of Boiling point

H_{2} O > H_{2} T e > H_{2} S e > H_{2} S

iii) The order of bond angles

H_{2} O > H_{2} S > H_{2} S e > H_{2} T e
