Question

Q. Which of the following order is correct for increasing p-character in orbital used for bonding by central
atom
(A) SiH4 > CH4
(B) H2S > H2O
(C) PH^+4 > PH3
(D) NH3> PH3​

Answer 1

Answer:

p character- the influence of electrons more in p orbital.

D) is correct

Explanation:

• a) Si has bmvacant d obitals so electrons will have transitions via it...so it decrease the p character ...which is moren in C
• b) same reason as above....S has vacant d orbitals
• .c) there configuration are same....so p character is also same
• d ) N has more influence od p orbitals ...as P has vacant d orbitals

hope it helps!
