Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A) : PH3\mathrm{PH}_3 has lower boiling point than NH3\mathrm{NH}_3.

Reason (R) : In liquid state NH3\mathrm{NH}_3 molecules are associated through vander waal's forces, but PH3\mathrm{PH}_3 molecules are associated through hydrogen bonding.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
(A) is correct but (R) is not correct
Option D ((A) is correct but (R) is not correct) is correct because PH3 has a lower boiling point than NH3, but the reason is due to weaker van der Waals forces, not hydrogen bonding in PH3.
