CBSE Class 11-science Answered
The bond angles of PF3, PCl3, PBr3 and PI3 are 97o, 100o, 101.5o and 102o respectively. This data shows a gradual increase in the bond angle. Explain.

Expert Answer
As the electronegativity of surrounding atom decreases, the electron pair lie closer to the central atom so the repulsion between the electrons increases and the bond angle also increases.
