Question

explain the effect of electronegativity of central atomic on the bond angle of hybridizes group 16​

Answer 1

Answer:

A lone pair of electrons at the central atom always tries to repel the shared pair (bonded pair) of electrons. Due to this, the bonds are displaced slightly inside resulting in a decrease of bond angle. Electronegativity: If the electronegativity of the central atom decreases, bond angle decreases.
