Among the following, the correctly matched pair is

  1. A electron deficient hydride \(-\mathrm{SiH}_4\)
  2. B saline hydride - \(\mathrm{CrH}\)
  3. C electron precise hydride - HF
  4. D electron rich hydride \(-\mathrm{NH}_3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) electron rich hydride \(-\mathrm{NH}_3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{NH}_3\) is an electron-rich hydride as \(\mathrm{N}\)-atom belongs to group - 15 and uses three of its valence electrons to make three \(\mathrm{N}-\mathrm{H}\) bonds and the remaining two electrons form a lone pair.
