There are some deposits of nitrated 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 metal ions. Hybridisation easily explains the ease of sigma donation capability of `NH_3` and `PH_3`. Phosphine is a flammable gas and is prepared from white phosphorous.
Which of the following statement is correct ?

A

Phosphates have no biological significance in humans

B

Between nitrates and phosphates, phosphates are less abundant in earth's crust

C

Between nitrates and phosphates, nitrates are abundant in earth's crust

D

Oxidation of nitrates is possible in soil.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Due to greater solubility and nature to be prove to microbial action, nitrates are less abundant in earth's crust.
