textBond textangle propto ( text1/ textelectronegativity textof textsurrounding textatom) As Electronegativity of F is higher than that of H, hence x > y.

Q. Compare bond angles for the following molecules

x > y

y > x

x = y

None of these

$Bond angle \propto \frac{1}{electronegativity of surrounding atom}$

As Electronegativity of F is higher than that of H, hence x > y.
