    The bond-angle in \[As{{H}_{3}}\] is greater than that in:

    A) \[N{{H}_{3}}\]                                  

    B) \[{{H}_{2}}O\]

    C) \[BC{{l}_{3}}\]                                  

    D)   none of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Key Idea: The bond angle of \[As{{H}_{3}}\] is smaller than that of \[N{{H}_{3}}\] because electronegativity of \[As\] is less than\[N\] \[\underset{Bond\,\,angle={{107}^{o}}}{\mathop{(a)N{{H}_{3}}}}\,\underset{Bond\,\,angle={{105}^{o}}}{\mathop{(b){{H}_{2}}O}}\,\underset{Bond\,\,angle={{120}^{o}}}{\mathop{(c)BC{{l}_{3}}}}\,\] \[\therefore \]Bond angle of \[As{{H}_{3}}\] is greater than all of them.
