Question

Which of the following compounds has the smallest bond angle in its molecule?

• A. $S{O}_2$
• B. $H_{2}O$
• C. $H_{2}S$
• D. $N{H}_3$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $H_{2}S$

Compound with smallest bond angles is $H_{2}S$ as $S$ is the least $EN$ atom among $O$ and $N$ Hence less repulsion between electron so least bond angle.

For $S{O}_2,hyb\to s{p}_2$ so bond angle $\approx {120}^{\circ }$
