The

O - O - H

bond angle in

{H_2}O

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

{97^0}

Option D is correct because the O-O-H bond angle in H2O is approximately 97 degrees due to the two lone pairs on the oxygen atom causing greater repulsion and reducing the bond angle from the ideal tetrahedral angle.

Hydrogen accepts an electron to form inert gas configuration. In this it resembles

\mathrm{CaC}_2+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_2+' \mathrm{X}\,'

\mathrm{Mg}_2 \mathrm{C}_3+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Mg}(\mathrm{OH})_2+'\mathrm{Y}\,'

The products '

\mathrm{X}

' and '

\mathrm{Y}

' respectively are

{H_2}{O_2} \to 2{H^ + } + {O_2} + 2{e^ - };{E^0} = - 0.68V
