JEE Main 2025 — 24 January, Morning Shift — Question 41

Which of the following statement is true with respect to $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}, \mathrm{NH}_{3}$ and $\mathrm{CH}_{4}$ ?

A. The central atoms of all the molecules are $\mathrm{sp}^{3}$ hybridized.

B. The $\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{H}, \mathrm{H}-\mathrm{N}-\mathrm{H}$ and $\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H}$ angles in the above molecules are $104.5^{\circ}, 107.5^{\circ}$ and $109.5^{\circ}$ respectively.

C. The increasing order of dipole moment is $\mathrm{CH}_{4}<\mathrm{NH}_{3}<\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$.

D. Both $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ and $\mathrm{NH}_{3}$ are Lewis acids and $\mathrm{CH}_{4}$ is a Lewis base

E. A solution of $\mathrm{NH}_{3}$ in $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ is basic. In this solution $\mathrm{NH}_{3}$ and $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ act as Lowry-Bronsted acid and base respectively.
