Amongst phosphorus halides the correct increasing order of bond angle is

A

`PF_(3) lt PCl_(3) ltPBr_(3)`

B

`PBr_(3) lt PCl_(3) lt PF_(3)`

C

`PCl_(3) lt PF_(3) lt PBr_(3)`

D

`PBr_(3) lt PF_(3) lt PCl_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
As the electronegativity of the halogen decreases, the bond angle increases because the electron pair is drawn towards the central atom leading to increase in electronic repulsions.
