As we learnt in 

                                SO_{2},OH_{2},SH_{2},NH_{3}

Bond\: angle\: \: 119.5^{\circ}\: ,104.5^{\circ}\:, 92.5^{\circ},\: 106.5 ^{\circ}

As we discussed in the concept @2252

sp3 hybridisation -

when one s - and three p - orbital belonging to the same shell of an atom mix together to form four new equivalent orbitals is called sporbital.

- wherein

Shape Tetrahedral 

 

 

 Molecule                Bond angle 

SO2                                    11.95^{o}

H2O                               104.5^{o}

H2S                                 92.5^{o}

NH3                                          107^{o}

H_{2}S has the smallest bond angle.


Option 1)

SO_{2}

The option is incorrect 

Option 2)

OH_{2}

The option is incorrect 

Option 3)

SH_{2}

The option is correct, but wrongly written 

Option 4)

NH_{3}

The option is incorrect
