Vedclass · Answer

(D) The bond angle in $H_2O$ is approximately $104.5^o$ due to two lone pairs on the oxygen atom causing repulsion.The bond angle in $O_3$ (ozone) is approximately $117^o$ due to the presence of one lone pair on the central oxygen atom.The bond angle in $CO_2$ is $180^o$ because it has a linear geometry with $sp$ hybridization.Therefore,the correct sequence is $H_2O$,$O_3$ and $CO_2$.
