Given below are two statements: Statement I: (N(CH_3)_3) and...

Given below are two statements: Statement I: (\mathrm{N}\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3) and (\mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3) can act as ligands to form transition metal complexes. Statement II: As N and P are from same group, the nature of bonding of (\mathrm{N}\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3) and (\mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3) is always same with transition metals. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Options

  1. AStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
  2. BStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
  3. CBoth Statement I and Statement II are correct.
  4. DBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.

Correct answer

A. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.

Step-by-step solution

\mathrm{N}(CH3)3\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3 and P(CH3)3\mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3 both are Lewis base and acts as ligand, However, P(CH3)3\mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3 has a π\pi-acceptor character.
