According to Bent's rule, as the substituent electronegativies increase, orbitals of greater p character will be directed towards those groups. By the above, this will decrease the bond angle.
as bonding orbitals increase in s character, the bond length decreases. By adding electronegative substituents and changing the hybridisation of the central atoms, bond lengths can be manipulated.
