In the nitrogen family, the H-M-H bond angle in the hybrides MH₃ gradually becomes closer to 90^o if we move from N to Sb. This shows that gradually  

Assertion :  In trimethyalamine (N(CH₃)₃), the nitrogen has a pyramidal geometry, wheres in trisilylamine (N(SiH₃)₃), it has a planer geometry.

Reason : In trimethylamine, nitrogen shows sp³ hybridization while in trisilyamine it shows sp² hybridization.

Assertion : Most of the known noble gas compounds are those of xenon.

Reason : The ionisation enthalpy of xenon is very close to that of oxygen.

Assertion : ClF₃ exists but FCl₃ does not.

Reason :  FCl₃ is not formed due to the inability of F to expand its coordination number due to the absence of a vacant d subshell.

Assertion: Among hydrides of the elements of group 16, water shows unusual physical properties.

Reason: Water shows unusual physical properties due to hydrogen bonding between the water molecules.

Assertion : Fluorine is a stronger oxidizing agent than chlorine.

Reason : Fluorine can displace chlorine from chlorides.

A yellow metallic powder is burnt in a stream of fluorine to obtain a colourless gas X which is thermally stable and chemically inert. Its molecule has octahedral geometry. Another colourless gas Y with same constituent atoms as that of X is obtained when sulphur dichloride is heated with sodium fluoride. Its molecule has triangular pyramidal structure X and Y are

(1) SF₄ and S₂F₂

(2)  SF₆ and  SF₄ 

(3) NaF and NaCl

(4)  SF₄ and SF₆
