Solution

The correct option is C SF6<NH3<H2O<OF2
(a) According to VSEPR, as electronegativity of central atom decreases, bond angle decreases. So bond angle will be in order:
H2O>H2S>H2Se>H2Te
(B) Due to bond pair-lone pair repulsion, bond angle of these molecules will be: C2H2sp>C2H4sp2>CH4sp3>NH3sp3
(c) SF6<NH3<H2O<OF2
In this case bond angle of NH3 is highest because lplp repulsion is absent in it.
(d) ClO2>H2O>H2S>SF6
ClO2 bond angle is highest due to its sp2 hybridised, more repulsion in double bond electrons.
