Account for the NH3 has higher boiling point than PH3. |
|
Answer» In ammonia (NH3), the molecules are involved in the intermolecular hydrogen bonding on account of the polarity of N-H bonds. But the same is not possible in molecules of Phosphine (PH3), since the polarity of P-H bond is negligible as compared to N-H bond. This is due to lesser electronegativity of phosphorus as compared to nitrogen. Therefore, boiling point of ammonia is more than that of phosphine. |
