overset(o+)(NH_(4)) has bond angle identical to CH_(4) but NH_(3) has different bond angle. Why?

The bond angle follows the order: NH_(4)^(+) gt NH_(3) gt NH_(2)^(-)

The bond angles in molecules H_(2)O, NH_(3), CH_(4) and CO_(2) are in the order :

The decreasing order of bond angles from NH_(3) (107^(@)) to SbH_(3)(91.3^(@)) down the group 15 elements is due to :
