Which of the following statements is the CORRECT order with respect to the given property ?

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

The correct order for bond angle is PF₃ < NF₃. In NF₃, the smaller size of nitrogen allows for greater lone pair-bond pair repulsion, leading to a larger bond angle compared to PF₃, where the larger phosphorus atom reduces this repulsion.

 

A. Reducing strength: Sn²⁺ > Pb²⁺ (Pb is more stable in +2)

B. Stability: Ga³⁺ > Tl³⁺ (inert pair effect for Tl)

C. Lattice energy: Mg₃N₂ < MgO (MgO has higher charge density)
