In the nitrogen family, the H-M-H bond angle in the hybrides MH3 gradually becomes closer to 90o if we move from N to Sb. This shows that gradually  

1. The basic strength of hybrides increases.
2. Pure p-orbitals (almost) are used for M-H bonding.
3. The bond energies of the M-H bond increase.
4. The bond pairs of electrons become nearer to the central atom.
