Correct answer: C. If assertion is true but reason is false

Due to high electronegativity of F-atoms, the lone pair of

\mathrm{N}

-atom in

\mathrm{NF}_3

molecule cannot be ligated easily. Assertion: NF_3 is a weaker ligand than N(CH_3)_3 . Reason : NF_3 ionizes to give F^ - ions in aqueous solution.

Except, nitrogen fluoride, all other halides hydrolyse in water.

\mathrm{NCl}_3+3 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \rightarrow \mathrm{NH}_3+3 \mathrm{HClO} \text{. }
