Question: The bond angle in $ PH_3 $ is [RPMT 2000]
Options:
A) Much less than $ NH_3 $
B) Equal to that of $ NH_3 $
C) Much greater than $ NH_3 $
D) Slightly greater than $ NH_3 $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
In fifth group hydride bond angle decreases from top to bottom $ NH_3>PH_3>AsH_3> $
$ SbH_3>BiH_3 $ .
