The final answer is 91 degrees.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is 91 degrees.
More Information
The bond angle in H2Se is approximately 91 degrees, which is between the hydrogen and selenium atoms. This bond angle is less than the typical tetrahedral angle of 109.5 degrees due to the larger size and lower electronegativity of selenium compared to oxygen in water.
