Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

As we go down the group, the electronegativity of the central atom decreases.In , the bonding electron pairs are closer to the Nitrogen atom. This leads to higher repulsion between the bond pairs, which pushes them further apart (larger angle).In , the bonding pairs are further away from the central Antimony atom, resulting in less repulsion and a smaller bond angle.
