MCQ
In compounds of type $EC{l_3}$, where $E = B,$ $P$, $As$ or $Bi$, the angles $Cl - E - Cl$ for different $E$ are in the order
  • A
    $B > P = As = Bi$
  • $B > P > As > Bi$
  • C
    $B < P = As = Bi$
  • D
    $B < P < As < Bi$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$B > P > As > Bi$
b
(b) $B > P > As > Bi$

As we go down the group bond angle decreases because repulsion between bonded pairs of electron decreases.
