Question

A molecular property of the Group 6A(16) hydrides changes abruptly down the group. This change has been explained in terms of a change in orbital hybridization.(d) What other group displays a similar change?

Answer 1

A molecular property of the Group 6A(16) hydrides changes abruptly down the group. This change has been explained in terms of a change in orbital hybridization can see a similar difference in Group 15 as well where the same thing influences stability through bond strength (decrease in bond dissociation enthalpy down the group).

We can see a similar difference in Group 15 as well where the same thing influences stability through bond strength (decrease in bond dissociation enthalpy down the group). The change is a significant decrease in \textbf{bond angle}bond angle. Down the group we're observing increase in size as well as decrease in electronegativity which causes position of bond pairs of electrons to shift more and more away from the central atom. That then causes a decrease in repulsion between bonded pairs which results in a decrease in bond angle hydrides.
