Question
Chemistry Question on Importance and Applications of Coordination Compounds
Given below are two statements.
Statement-I: Stannane is an example of a molecular hydride.
Statement-II: Stannane is a planar molecule
In the light of the above statement, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
A
Both Statement-I and Statement-II are true
B
Both Statement-I and Statement-II are false
C
Statement-I is true but Statement-II is false
D
Statement-I is false but Statement-II is true
Answer
Statement-I is true but Statement-II is false
Explanation
Solution
Stannane or tin hydride is an inorganic compound with formula SnH4
Structure of SnH4 is
∵ It is a non-planar molecule.
So, the correct option is (C): Statement-I is true but Statement-II is false.
