Assertion NF(3) is weaker ligands than N...

Assertion `NF_(3)` is weaker ligands than `N(CH_(3))_(3)`
Reason `NF_(3)` ionises to give `F^(Θ)` ions in aqueous solution .

A

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

B

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

C

If assertion is true, but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Correct reason. The lone pair of electrons on the N atom is strongly attracted by the three highly electronegatve F atoms. As a result, it is not available for donation and hence `NF_(3)` is a weak ligand.
