The correct statement(s) regarding three EI ₃ molecules (where E = P , As or Sb ) is/are:

Options

  1. AThese compounds are formed by mutual sharing of electrons and hence considered as covalent compounds
  2. BPI ₃ is most susceptible towards hydrolysis in water to give phosphorous acid
  3. CSbI ₃ has highest boiling point amongst all
  4. DIn AsI ₃ , there is least repulsion between bond pair and lone pair and thus has the largest I-E-I angle

Correct answer

A. These compounds are formed by mutual sharing of electrons and hence considered as covalent compounds
