Question

The correct sequence of decrease in the bond angles of the following hydrides is (A) NH3 > PH3 > AsH3 > SbH3 (B) NH3 > AsH3 > PH3 > SbH3 (C) SbH3 > AsH3 > PH3 > NH3 (D) PH3 > NH3 > AsH3 > SbH3

In similar molecules, as the electronegativity of the central atom decreases and the size increases, the bond angle decreases

Q. The correct sequence of decrease in the bond angles of the following hydrides is

$N H_{3} > P H_{3} > A s H_{3} > S b H_{3}$

$N H_{3} > A s H_{3} > P H_{3} > S b H_{3}$

$S b H_{3} > A s H_{3} > P H_{3} > N H_{3}$

$P H_{3} > N H_{3} > A s H_{3} > S b H_{3}$

In similar molecules, as the electronegativity of the central atom decreases and the size increases, the bond angle decreases

Q. The correct sequence of decrease in the bond angles of the following hydrides is

NH3​>PH3​>AsH3​>SbH3​

NH3​>AsH3​>PH3​>SbH3​

SbH3​>AsH3​>PH3​>NH3​

PH3​>NH3​>AsH3​>SbH3​

In similar molecules, as the electronegativity of the central atom decreases and the size increases, the bond angle decreases

$N H_{3} > P H_{3} > A s H_{3} > S b H_{3}$

$N H_{3} > A s H_{3} > P H_{3} > S b H_{3}$

$S b H_{3} > A s H_{3} > P H_{3} > N H_{3}$

$P H_{3} > N H_{3} > A s H_{3} > S b H_{3}$
