Bond angle of PH3

by ankita chaturvedi -

Hello friends,

The bond angle of hydrides of 5th group decreses as:

NH3===107 deg.

it is sp3 hybridised and the presence of a lone pair reduces bond angle by roughly 2 deg.

bond angle of PH3 is===93 deg.

what is the reason of the decrease of the bond angle by such a value despite the fact that PH3 is also sp3 hybridised,

does higher elecronegativity of nitrogen account for this fact??

pls answer my query.

Am i right?

d/dx x2 is clearly 2x

but x2 can be written as x+x+x+x+x+....(x times)

now if u differenciate this u will get 1+1+1+1+1+1+...(x times)

which is x

therefore d/dx x2 is x
