Question

State True or False.

The $H-N-H$ bond angle in $N{H}_3$ is greater than $H-As-H$ bond angle in $As{H}_3$.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Since, nitrogen atom is highly electronegative, so in $N{H}_3$, there is high electron density around the N atom which causes greater repulsions between the electron pairs around the N atom resulting in maximum bond angle.
