Detailed Solution

Down the group, electronegativity of elements decreases, therefore the tendency of atoms to attract shared electron pars also decreases. As a result, the shared electron pair is more far way from the central atom which results in decrease in bond pair-bond pair repulsion. Therefore, bond angle of group-15 hydrides decreases on moving down the group.

The trend of electronegativity of group-15 elements is:

N>P>As>Sb>Bi

The trend of bond angle of group-15 hydrides:

NH3 > PH3 > AsH3 > SbH3 > BiH3
