Asseration:Although:Although `PF_(5),PCl_(5)` and `PBr_(5)` are known, the pentahalides of nitrogen have not been observed.
Reason: Phosphorus has lower electronegative than nitrogen.

A

Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is true, statement 2 si a correct explanation for statement 1

B

Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is true, statement 2 is not a correct explanation for statement 1

C

Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is false

D

Statement 1 is false, statement 2 is true

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Nitrogen cannot form pentahalides because it cannot expands its octed due to non-availibility of d-orbitals. So E is not correct explanation of S.
