Although nitrogen exhibits +5 oxidation state but does not form pentahalide because-

1. \(\Delta G \) value is highly negative for the formation of pentahalide
2. Does not have d orbitals to expand its covalence beyond four              
3. Nitrogen did not react with halide in any oxidation state
4. None of the above

PH3 has a lower boiling point than NH3 because-
 

1. NH3 is ionic compound and PH3 is covalent compound
2. The size of phosphorus is greater than nitrogen
3. Strong vander wall forces in NH3 than PH3 
4. Hydrogen bonding occur in NH3 but not in PH3

1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
4. (A) is false but (R) is true.
