Question

III
NH3PH3
The bond angle in NH3 is larger than, in PH3 because the PH bonds are longer and the lower electronegativity of P permits electron-density to be displaced towards hydrogen to a greater extent than in the case of NH3. Both of these effects diminish the repulsion due to bond-pairs.
If true enter 1, else enter 0.

Solution

Greater is the repulsion between bond pair and bond pair, greater is the bond angle.
The bond angle in NH3 is larger than, in PH3 because the PH bonds are longer and the lower electronegativity of P permits electron-density to be displaced towards hydrogen to a greater extent than in the case of NH3. Both of these effects diminish the repulsion due to bond-pairs.
The given statement is true. Hence, the answer is 1.
