प्रश्न
Why does NH3 form hydrogen bond but PH3 does not?
Advertisements
उत्तर १
Nitrogen is highly electronegative as compared to phosphorus. This causes a greater attraction of electrons towards nitrogen in NH3 than towards phosphorus in PH3. Hence, the extent of hydrogen bonding in PH3 is very less as compared to NH3.
उत्तर २
Nitrogen has an electronegativity value of 3.0, which is much higher than that of H (2.1). As a result, N-H bond is quite polar and hence NH3 undergoes intermolecular H-bonding.
Phosphorus has an electronegativity value of 2.1. Thus, the P–H bond is not polar, and hence PH3 does not undergo H-bonding.

______ is a gaseous element of group 16.
Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The boiling point of hydrides of Group 16 elements follows the order:
H2O > H2Te > H2Se > H2S
Statement II: On the basis of molecular mass, H2O is expected to have a lower boiling point than the other members of the group but due to the presence of extensive H-bonding in H2O, it has a higher boiling point.
