Assertion In case of `(CH_(3))_(3)N` geometry is pyramidal but in case of `(SiH_(3))_(3)N` it is planar
Reasoning The maximum covalency of Si is six but that of `C` is four .

A

If assertion is true but the reason is false

B

If assertion is false but reason is true

C

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of assertion

D

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

In `(CH_(3))_(3)overset(..)(N), N` is `sp^(3)` hybridiazed pyramidal strucuture because of absence of vacant orbital on carbon atom therefore no back bonding is possible
In `(SiH_(3))_(3)N, N` is `sp^(2)` hybridized, on the basis of `ppi-dpi` back bonding `(SiH_(3))_(3)N` resulting into triangular planar structure.
Covalency of both C and Si is four
