7.9  The HNH angle value is higher than HPH, HAsH and HSbH angles. Why?

best_answer

The angle value of HNH is higher than HPH, HAsH and HSbH angles. This is due to the higher electronegativity of the electron. Since nitrogen is highly electronegative, there is high electron density around the atom of nitrogen. This causes greater repulsion between the electron pairs which are around nitrogen, resulting in maximum bond angle.
