Answer» All five of the Group 15 ELEMENTS form hydrides of the formula EH3. ... Trihydrides of the Group 15 Elements. Compound | Traditiona name| IUPAC name| NH3 | Ammonia | Azane | PH3 | Phosphine | PHOSPHANE | AsH3 | Arsine |Arsane | SBH3 | Stibine | Stibane | (i) Bond angleBond angle decreases → The hydrides of these elements are pyramidal in shape with a lone pair of electrons in one of the orbitals. On moving down the group the bond angles gradually decrease due to a decrease in bond pair-bond pair repulsion. |
