The bond angle in PH3 is :...

The bond angle in ` PH_3 ` is :

A

much lesser than `NH_3`

B

equal to `NH_3`

C

much greater than `NH_3`

D

slightly more than `NH_3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Bond angles diecrease on moving down the group for similar compounds having central atom belonging to same group i.e.,
` NH_(3) lt pH_3 lt AsH_3 lt SbH_3` .
