Solution

The correct options are
A Br^PBr(OPBr3)>Cl^PF(OPCl3)>F^PF(OPF3)
B H^CH(CH4)>H^NH(NH3)
(A) The correct order of bond angles is
Br^PBr(OPBr3)>Cl^PF(OPCl3)>F^PF(OPF3)
With increase in the electronegativity of halogens, the electrons of P-X bonds are attracted more towards halogen.
Thus, the repulsion between the bond pair of electrons of P-X bond decreases.
This decreases, the XPX bond angle.
Thus, the option A is correct.
(B) The correct order of bond angles is
H^CH(CH4)>H^NH(NH3)
Since, N is more electronegative than C, it attracts th bond pair of electrons towards itself. Hence, the lone pair - bond pair repulsion in ammonia increases and the bond angle decreases.
In methane only bond pair bond pair repulsion is present.
Bond-pair bond pair repulsion is lower than lone pair - bond pair repulsion.
Thus, the option A is correct.
(C) The correct order of bond angles is
H^CH(CH4)>H^NH(NH3)
Since, N is more electronegative than C, it attracts th bond pair of electrons towards itself. Hence, the lone pair - bond pair repulsion in ammonia increases and the bond angle decreases.
In methane only bond pair bond pair repulsion is present.
Bond-pair bond pair repulsion is lower than lone pair - bond pair repulsion.
Thus, the option C is incorrect.
(D) The correct order of bond angles is
Br^PBr(OPBr3)>Cl^PF(OPCl3)>F^PF(OPF3)
With increase in the electronegativity of halogens, the electrons of PX bonds are attracted more towards halogen.
Thus, the repulsion between the bond pair of electrons of PX bond decreases.
This decreases, the XPX bond angle.
Thus, the option D is incorrect.
