Given below are two statements:
Statement I : $\mathrm{N}\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3$ and $\mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3$ can act as ligands to form transition metal complexes.
Statement II: As N and P are from same group, the nature of bonding of $\mathrm{N}\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3$ and $\mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3$ is always same with transition metals.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Select the correct option:
A
Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
B
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
C
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
D
Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Incorrect. Try again or view the solution.
Solution
$\mathrm{N}\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3$ and $\mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3$ both are Lewis base and acts as ligand, However, $\mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3$ has a 𝜋-acceptor character
