Question

Which of the statements below best describes the reasons for the observed structural difference between PH3 and NH3?

a) The structural difference is caused by the difference in electronegativity between the central atoms.

b) The structural difference is caused by the difference in orbital hybridization between the central atoms.

c) The structural difference is caused by the difference in electron affinity between the central atoms.

d) The structural difference is caused by the difference in hardness between the central atoms.

The statement describing structural difference between PH3 and NH3 would be,

a) The structural difference is caused by the difference in electronegativity between the central atoms.
