The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given statements, let's break down the reasoning step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding Hydrolysis of NCl₃ - **NCl₃ (Nitrogen Trichloride)** can undergo hydrolysis when it reacts with water. The reaction can be represented as: \[ NCl₃ + 3H₂O \rightarrow NH₃ + 3HOCl \] - In this reaction, water acts as a nucleophile, donating a lone pair of electrons to the nitrogen atom in NCl₃, allowing it to form ammonia (NH₃) and hypochlorous acid (HOCl). ### Step 2: Role of Chlorine's Orbitals - Chlorine (Cl) has an electronic configuration of \(1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^5\). - The presence of empty 3d orbitals in chlorine allows it to accept electron pairs from water, facilitating the hydrolysis process. ### Step 3: Understanding NF₃ - **NF₃ (Nitrogen Trifluoride)** does not undergo hydrolysis. The electronic configuration of nitrogen is \(1s^2 2s^2 2p^3\), which means it does not have vacant orbitals for expansion of its octet. - Additionally, fluorine (F) has an electronic configuration of \(1s^2 2s^2 2p^5\), which also lacks empty orbitals. ### Step 4: Conclusion on Hydrolysis - Since NF₃ does not have vacant orbitals to accept electrons from water, it cannot undergo hydrolysis. Therefore, the statement that NCl₃ is hydrolyzed by water while NF₃ is not is correct. ### Step 5: Evaluating Statement 2 - Statement 2 claims that nitrogen does not have vacant orbitals for the expansion of its octet. This is true, as nitrogen lacks the 3d orbitals that would allow for such expansion. - However, while this statement is true, it does not directly explain why NCl₃ is hydrolyzed and NF₃ is not. The reason for the hydrolysis is more about the ability to accept electrons rather than the expansion of the octet. ### Final Conclusion - Both statements are correct, but Statement 2 does not correctly explain Statement 1. Therefore, the answer is that both statements are true, but Statement 2 does not provide the correct explanation for Statement 1. ### Answer: B. Both statements are correct, but Statement 2 does not correctly explain Statement 1. ---
