Given below are two statements. Statement I : Stannane is an example of a molecular hydride. Statement II : Stannane is a planar molecule. In the light of the above statement, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

Options

  1. ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true.
  2. BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false.
  3. CStatement I is true but Statement II is false.
  4. DStatement I is false but Statement II is true.

Correct answer

C. Statement I is true but Statement II is false.

Step-by-step solution

SnH 4 is a non-planar molecular hydride. Molecular hydrides are again classified in to different types. SnH 4 is electron precise type of molecular hydride. In SnH 4 , the central atom tin is sp 3 hybridized, Hence, the molecule has tetrahedral shape.It is not planar
