The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the incorrect statement about the compounds \(N(SiH_3)_3\) and \(NH(SiH_3)_2\), we will analyze the properties of these compounds step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the Structures Both compounds have a trigonal planar skeleton. - **For \(N(SiH_3)_3\)**: The nitrogen atom is bonded to three silicon atoms, each of which is further bonded to three hydrogen atoms. The nitrogen has one lone pair. - **For \(NH(SiH_3)_2\)**: The nitrogen is bonded to two silicon atoms and one hydrogen atom, with one lone pair on nitrogen. ### Step 2: Analyze Bond Angles The bond angles in trigonal planar structures are typically around 120 degrees. However, the presence of lone pairs can affect these angles. - In \(N(SiH_3)_3\), the lone pair on nitrogen will cause some repulsion, potentially increasing the bond angle between the Si-N-Si bonds. - In \(NH(SiH_3)_2\), the lone pair will also affect the bond angles, but the distribution of bonds is different. ### Step 3: Compare Si-N Bond Lengths The bond lengths can be influenced by the bond character (single vs. partial double bond character). - In \(N(SiH_3)_3\), the Si-N bond has a certain bond character due to the presence of three Si-H bonds. - In \(NH(SiH_3)_2\), the Si-N bond may have a different character due to the fewer Si-H bonds and the presence of a lone pair. ### Step 4: Evaluate the Statements Now we need to evaluate the statements provided in the question: 1. **Statement A**: The Si-N-Si bond angle in \(NH(SiH_3)_2\) is greater than in \(N(SiH_3)_3\). - This statement is likely true due to the lone pair repulsion being more pronounced in \(NH(SiH_3)_2\). 2. **Statement B**: The Si-N bond length in \(N(SiH_3)_3\) is greater than in \(NH(SiH_3)_2\). - This statement is likely false because the presence of more Si-H bonds in \(N(SiH_3)_3\) suggests a stronger bond character, leading to a shorter bond length. 3. **Statement C**: The N-Si bond length in \(NH(SiH_3)_2\) is greater than in \(N(SiH_3)_3\). - This statement is true as discussed earlier. 4. **Statement D**: The N-Si bond length in \(NH(SiH_3)_2\) is less than in \(N(SiH_3)_3\). - This statement is likely true as well. ### Conclusion The incorrect statement about both compounds is **Statement B**: "The Si-N bond length in \(N(SiH_3)_3\) is greater than in \(NH(SiH_3)_2\)."

To solve the question regarding the incorrect statement about the compounds \(N(SiH_3)_3\) and \(NH(SiH_3)_2\), we will analyze the properties of these compounds step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the Structures Both compounds have a trigonal planar skeleton. - **For \(N(SiH_3)_3\)**: The nitrogen atom is bonded to three silicon atoms, each of which is further bonded to three hydrogen atoms.
