Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, B
Solution:

In N(SiH3)3 the N lone pair delocalises into empty d orbitals of Si (pπ-dπ).

(A) So N(CH3)3 is the stronger base: correct.

(B) Pyramidal, N is sp3: correct.

(C) Planar means N is sp2, not sp3: wrong.

(D) N(SiH3)3 has no free lone pair for BCl3: wrong.
