Chemistry Question on Chemical bonding and molecular structure

Which of the following has higher bond angle?

A

H2O{H_2O}

B

CH4{ CH4 }

C

Graphite{Graphite }

D

SO2{SO2 }

Answer

Graphite{Graphite }

Explanation

Solution

The order of decreasing bond angle is
{\underset{\mathrm{(120^?)}}{{Graphite }}>>\underset{\mathrm{(119 5^?)}}{{SO_2}}> >\underset{\mathrm{(109.5^?)}}{{CH_4}}>>\underset{\mathrm{(104.5^?)}}{{H_2O}} }
