Paragraph:
There are some deposits of nitrates and phosphates in earth's crust. Nitrates are more soluble in water. Nitrates are difficult to reduce under the laboratory conditions but microbes do it easily. Ammonia forms large number of complexes with transition metal ions. Hybridisation easily explains the ease of sigma donation capability of and . Phosphine is a flammable gas and is prepared from white phosphorus.Question:
Among the following, the correct statement is
Options
- Abetween and is a better electron donor because the lone pair of electrons occupies spherical 's' orbital and is less directional
- Bbetween and is a better electron donor because the lone pair of electrons occupies orbital and is more directional
- Cbetween and is a better electron donor because the lone pair of electrons occupies orbital and is more directional
- Dbetween and is a better electron donor because the lone pair of electrons occupies spherical ' ' orbital and is less directional
Correct answer
C. between and is a better electron donor because the lone pair of electrons occupies orbital and is more directional
Step-by-step solution
is better electron donor because the lone pair of electrons occupies -orbital and is more directional.
