Explanation
(a) Hydrogen forms hydrides like NaH similar to Group 17 halogens (NaF, Nacl, NaBr, NaI).
(b) Hydrogen, as well as halogen, are non-metals
(c) Hydrogen and halogens both can form an ionic and covalent bond.
(d) With respect to electronic configuration, similar to halogens, hydrogen requires only one electron to complete its valence shell and for achieving noble gas electronic configuration.
Hence Correct answer is [A].
Carbon dioxide has a linear molecular geometry given that it's bond angle is 180 degree between both carbon and the two oxygen atoms. The carbon atom has an sp hybridization and the two oxygen atoms both have an sp2 hybridization.
Hydrogen cyanide, is linear molecule with a triple bond between C and N atom and has bond angle of 180 degree
Acetylene contains two carbon atoms bonded together in a triple bond. The carbon–carbon triple bond places all four atoms in the same straight line, with CCH bond angles of 180 degree.
A water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom having lone pair of electrons. The three atoms make an angle; the H-O-H angle is approximately 104.5 degrees due to lone pair-lone pair (lp-lp) repulsion on oxygen atoms which is stronger than lone pair- bond pair(lp-bp) and bond pair-bond pair (bp-bp) repulsion.
The correct answer is [D].
