Question

Out of NH 3  and NF 3 , which has more reactivity. Explain with the diagram .

Answer 1

Answer:

In both molecules i.e., NH3 and NF3, the central atom (N) has a lone pair electron and there are three bond pairs. Hence, both molecules have a pyramidal shape. Since fluorine is more electronegative than hydrogen, it is expected that the net dipole moment of NF3 is greater than NH3.

Answer 2

They are capable of donating lone pair of electron. Out of the two, NH3 is more reactive in terms of basicity. ... This allows nitrogen to accommodate lone pair of electron efficiently.
