1.	Assertion. NF_(3) is a weak ligand than N(CH_(3))_(3). Reason. NF_(3) ionises to give F^(-) ion in aqueous solution.
Answer» If both assertion and reason are TRUE, and is the correct explanation of the assertion. If both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. If assertion is true, but reason is false. If both assertion and reason are false Solution :Correct reason. The lone pair of electrons on the N atom is strongly attracted by the THREE highly electronegatve F ATOMS. As a result, it is not available for DONATION and hence `NF_(3)` is a weak ligand.
