The most likely example of an angular molecule among the given options is
(formaldehyde).Explanation:-
(ammonia) has a trigonal pyramidal shape due to the presence of a lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom.-
(water) has a bent or angular shape due to the presence of two lone pairs of electrons on the oxygen atom.-
(silicon tetrachloride) has a tetrahedral shape with no lone pairs on the silicon atom.-
(formaldehyde) has a trigonal planar shape with no lone pairs on the carbon atom.Therefore, the correct answer is
.
