  • question_answer
    In nitrogen family, the H-M-H bond angle in the hydrides gradually becomes closer to \[90{}^\circ \] on going from N to Sb. This shows that gradually

    A) the basic strength of the hydrides increases.

    B) almost pure p-orbitals are used for M-H bonding.

    C) the bond energies of M-H bonds increases.

    D) the bond pairs of electrons become nearer to the central atom.

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] With the decrease in the electronegativity of central atom the bond angle decreases
