The question consist of two statements each, printed as Assertion and Reason. While answering these questions you are required to choose any one of the following four responses:
Assertion: `NF_3` is weaker ligand than `N(CH_3)_3`.
Reason: `NF_3` ionizes to give `F^(-)` ions in aqueous solution.

A

(a) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

(b) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

(c) If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

(d) If assertion is false but reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Correct Reason: F is highly electronegative. It attracts the electrons of N towards itself and hence are not easily available on N, making it a weaker donor or ligand.
