Correct order of Bond angle isA. `NH_(3) gt PCl_(3) gt BCl_(3)`B. `BCl_(3) gt NH_(3) gt PCl_(3)`C. `BCl_(3) gt PCl_(3) gt NH_(3)`D. `PCl_(3) gt BCl_(3) gt NH_(3)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`BCl_(3)` is trigonal in shape where bond angle is `120^(@)`. In `NH_(3)` and `PCl_3` (both are having tetrahedral geometry) through the central atom has equal no. of lone pairs and bond pairs, the valence shell of P is relatively bigger and bond angle is lower.
