Practicing Success
There are some deposits of nitrates and phosphates in the earth's crust. Nitrates are more soluble in water. Nitrates are difficult to reduce under laboratory conditions, but microbes do it easily. Ammonia, forms a large number of complexes with transition metals. Hybridization easily explains the ease of sigma donation capability of \(NH_3\) and \(PH_3\). Phosphine is an inflammable gas, it is prepared from white phosphorus. |
\(NH_3\) is a stronger base than \(PH_3\) |
Phosphorus is smaller in size than nitrogen Nitrogen is smaller in size than phosphorus \(PH_3\) does not have lone pair of electron \(NH_3\) does not have lone pair of electron |
Nitrogen is smaller in size than phosphorus |
The correct answer is (2) Nitrogen is smaller in size than phosphorus. |
