Question

which has lowest bond angle?

AsCl3, SbCl3, PCl3 , NCl3 ( ANSWER=SbCl3) why???

Answer 1

Answer:

In the series of given molecules of AsCl3, Sbcl3, Pcl3 and Ncl3 the lowest bond angle is observed in SbCl3.

Explanation:

In the series of given molecules of AsCl3, Sbcl3, Pcl3 and Ncl3 the lowest bond angle is observed in SbCl3.

This is because as we move down the group the size of the central atom increases and the force of attractions between the atoms increases hence decreases in the bond angle between the atoms.

Answer 2

Answer:

Ascl3 have 109°

NCL3 HAVE 107°

Sbcl3 have 97°

pcl3 have 109°

lowest is sbcl3
