Vedclass · Answer

(A) The bond angle in hydrides of group $16$ elements decreases as we move down the group due to the increase in the size of the central atom and the decrease in the electronegativity of the central atom. The bond angles are: $H_2O$ $(104.5^\circ)$,$H_2S$ $(92.1^\circ)$,$H_2Se$ $(91^\circ)$,and $H_2Te$ $(90^\circ)$. Therefore,the minimum bond angle is in $H_2Te$.
