Answer the question on the basis of passage given below :
There are some deposits of nitrates and phosphates in the earth’s crust. Nitrates are more soluble in water. Nitrates are difficult to reduce under laboratory conditions, but microbes do it easily. Ammonia forms a large number of complexes with transition metals. Hybridisation easily explains the ease of sigma donation capability of NH₃ and PH₃. Phosphine is an inflammable gas, it is prepared from white phosphorus.
White phosphorus on reacting with NaOH gives \(NaH _2 PO _2\) and \(PH _3\) as products. This is an example of.
- A Dimerisation reaction
- B Disproportionation reaction
- C Condensation reaction
- D Precipitation reaction
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Disproportionation reaction
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Oxidation state of P in \(P_4\): \(0\) Oxidation state of P in \(PH_3\): \(-3\) Oxidation state of P in \(NaH_2PO_2\): \(+1\) This is a disproportionation reaction.

Amines are considered as derivatives of ammonia obtained by replacement of hydrogen atoms with alkyl or aryl groups. In nature they occur among proteins, vitamins, alkaloids and hormones. These can be primary, secondary or tertiary depending on the number of hydrogen groups replaced. They can be prepared from nitro compounds, alkyl halides, nitriles, amides etc. Due to unshared pair of electrons they behave as Lewis bases. Influence of the number of hydrogen atoms at nitrogen atom is displayed in physical properties such as solubility, boiling point and chemical reactions including basicity. Basic character of amines is expressed in terms of their \(K_b\) and \(p K_b\) values. Three classes of amines can be distinguished with p-toluene sulphonyl chloride which reacts with primary and secondary ddu amines. Amino group when attached to benzene ring behaves as an activating and ortho para directing group.

Does the number of species in a community really matter to the functioning of the ecosystem? This is a question for which ecologists have not been able to give a definitive answer. For many decades, ecologists believed that communities with more species, generally, tend to be more stable than those with less species.
According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) (2004), the total number of plant and animal species described so far is more than 1.5 million.
