Which of the following has largest bond angle?

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

C{H_4}\,

Option A (

C{H_4}\,

) is correct because

CH_4

has a tetrahedral geometry with bond angles of 109.5°, while

H_2O

and

NH_3

have bent and pyramidal geometries, respectively, due to the presence of lone pairs, which reduce the bond angles.
