Question

which has smallest bond angle ncl3,pcl3,ascl3 or sbcl3?

Answer 1

SbCl3 has the smallest bond angle ..

hope this helps you

Answer 2

Hey dear,

● Answer -
SbCl3 has smallest bond angle.

● Explanation -
- Atomic size increases going down the group.
- Going down the group, electronegativity also decreases.
- This makes bond pair and lone pair pf electrons repel each other.
- During this process, bond pairs come nearer and bond angle decreases.
- As Sb is downmost of all, its chloride will have smallest bond angle.
