The correct order of the increasing bond angles in the following triatomic species is :
| 1. | \(\mathrm{NO}^-_2<\mathrm{NO}^+_2<\mathrm{NO}_2\) | 2. | \(\mathrm{NO}^-_2<\mathrm{NO}_2<\mathrm{NO}^+_2\) |
| 3. | \(\mathrm{NO}^+_2<\mathrm{NO}_2<\mathrm{NO}^-_2\) | 4. | \(\mathrm{NO}^+_2<\mathrm{NO}^-_2<\mathrm{NO}_2\) |
Predict the correct order among the following.
(1) lone pair-lone pair>bond pair-bond pair>lone pair-bond pair
(2) bond pair-bond pair>lone pair-bond pair>lone pair-lone pair
(3) lone pair-bond pair>bond pair-bond pair>lone pair-lone pair
(4) lone pair-lone pair>lone pair-bond pair>bond pair-bond pair
The incorrect statement among the following regarding the molecules of CH4, NH3, and H2O is:

| 2. | The H-O-H bond angle in H2O is smaller than the H-N-H bond angle in NH3. |
| 3. | The H-C-H bond angle in CH4 is larger than the H-N-H bond angle in NH3. |
| 4. | The H-C-H bond angle in CH4, the H-N-H bond angle in NH3, and the H-O-H bond angle in H2O are all greater than 90°. |
