Trisilylamine _{3}\right] \) has
Trisilylamine \( \left[\ddot{\boldsymbol{N}}\left(\boldsymbol{S} \boldsymbol{i} \boldsymbol{H}_{3}\right)_{3}\right] \) has \( \mathbf{a} \)
- A. planer geometry
- B. tetrahedral geometry
- C. pyramidal geometry
- D. none of these
Step-by-step solution
Trisilylamine N(SiH3)3 has a planar geometry due to dπ-pπ bonding between silicon and nitrogen, causing nitrogen to adopt sp2 hybridization, unlike trimethylamine which is pyramidal.
