decomposition of P 2 H 4 at 110 ° C .

heating red phosphorus with an aqueous solution of caustic soda.

What is inert pair effect?

The inert pair effect is the reluctance of s electrons of the outermost shell to participate in bonding. This is due to the poor screening effect of the d and f orbitals. This effect is observed among the p -block elements, due to which the lower oxidation state (two units less than the group oxidation state) becomes more stable for heavier elements in each group. For example in Pb , + 2 oxidation state is more predominant than the + 4 oxidation state.

Among the following, the correct statement(s) is(are)

The Lewis acidity of B C l 3 is greater than that of A l C l 3 .

A l C l 3 has the three-centre two-electron bonds in its dimeric structure.
