Assertion Bond angles of NH(3),PH(3),AsH...

Assertion Bond angles of `NH_(3),PH_(3),AsH_(3)` and `SbH_(3)` decrease in order as mentioned
Reasoning The central atom in each possesses a lone pair .

A

If both `(A)` and `(R )` are correct and `(R )` is the correct explanation of `(A)`

B

If both `(A)` and `(R )` are correct and `(R )` is the correct explanation of `(A)`

C

If `(A)` is correct but `(R )` is incorrect

D

If `(A)` is incorrect but `(R )` is correct

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Bond angle of hybrides of group 15 decreases down the group due to increase in size or decrease in `EN` of central atom Thus both `(A)` and `(R )` are correct but `(R )` is not the correct explantion of `(A)` .
