Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion \((A)\) and the other is labelled as Reason \((R)\). Assertion \((A)\) : \(\mathrm{PH}_3\) has lower boiling point than \(\mathrm{NH}_3\). Reason \((R)\) : In liquid state \(\mathrm{NH}_3\) molecules are associated through vander waal's forces, but \(\mathrm{PH}_3\) molecules are associated through hydrogen bonding. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
- A Both \((A)\) and \((R)\) are correct and \((R)\) is not the correct explanation of \((A)\)
- B \((A)\) is not correct but \((R)\) is correct
- C Both \((A)\) and \((R)\) are correct but \((R)\) is the correct explanation of \((A)\)
- D \((A)\) is correct but \((R)\) is not correct
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \((A)\) is correct but \((R)\) is not correct
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Unlike \(\mathrm{NH}_3, \mathrm{PH}_3\) molecules are not associated through hydrogen bonding in liquid state. That is why the boiling point of \(\mathrm{PH}_3\) is lower than \(\mathrm{NH}_3\).
