Preferred Label : Bent's rule;
IUPAC definition : In a molecule, smaller bond angles are formed between electronegative ligands since
the central atom, to which the ligands are attached, tends to direct bonding hybrid
orbitals of greater i p /i character towards its more electronegative substituents.;
