What will happen to bond angle if electronegativity of central atom increases
Answers

Answer:
As electronegativity decreases from F to I,the bond pairs are closer to the central atom and the repulsion between the bond pairs increase and so the bond angle also increases. Conclusion:In similar molecules,as the electronegativity of the surrounding atoms decreases,the bond angle also decreases.

Answer:Bond angle increases
Explanation:It is because the electrons in various bonds with central atom are pulled by the electronegative central atom which in turn activate the bond pair - bond pair repulsion hence increasing the bond angle.
