[tex]Answer[/tex]

  • H2O

[tex]Explanation[/tex]

H2O has the largest bond angle among VIA group hydrides. The reason is the high electronegativity of oxygen atom due to which bonding electron pair remains closer to oxygen atom in H2O molecule. Hence, the repulsion between bonding e− is maximum in H2O due to which the bond-angle is maximum (104.5°) in H2O .
