In which one of the following options bond angles are correctly matched?
Bond angle: | |||
(a) | N(SiH3)3 | (NCH3)3 | NH3 |
(b) | N(CH3)3 | NH3 | N(SiH3)3 |
(c) | N(SiH3)3 | NH3 | N(CH3)3 |
(d) | N(CH3)3 | N(SiH3)3 | NH3 |
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
In 
, there is backbonding from 
which changes hybridisation from 
to 
so bond angle is 
. In 
, because of the lone pair on nitrogen, the bond angle is less than 
.
In 
, because of the bulky 
group, the bond angle is more than 
.
