Question

Given below are two statements: Statement I: $N (CH_{3})_{3}$ and $P (CH_{3})_{3}$ can act as ligands to form transition metal complexes. Statement II: As N and P are from same group, the nature of bonding of $N (CH_{3})_{3}$ and $P (CH_{3})_{3}$ is always same with transition metals. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Options:

Answer:

A

Solution:

$N (CH_{3})_{3}$ and $P (CH_{3})_{3}$ both are Lewis base and acts as ligand, However, $P (CH_{3})_{3}$ has a $π$ -acceptor character.
