Essay

Consider the following hydrides: NH₃,PH₃,AsH₃,and SbH₃.What is their electronic geometry? What is their molecular geometry? Which molecule would you predict has the highest dipole moment? Consider the ideal H-X-H angle,where X is the central atom.Which would you predict has the largest deviation from that angle,and would the observed H-X-H angle be larger or smaller than the ideal value?
