Pick out the incorrect statement

Question

Pick out the incorrect statement, P H 4 + ion is tetrahedral like the N H 4 + ion and is obtained when P H 3 is bonded to proton, P H 4 I is one of the most stable salts containing the phosphonium ion. It is also more stable than ammonium salts, P H 4 I is decomposed by water to form P H 3, P H 3 converts silver salts in solution to silver phosphide, which subsequently reacts to give free metal

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Phosphonium iodide is less thermally stable than ammonium salts, because phosphine is less basic than ammonia and decomposition occurs at 60 ° C . P H 4 I → P H 3 + H I A. P H 3 + H I → P H 4 I C. P H 4 I + H 2 O → P H 3 + H 3 O + + I - D. 6 A g + + P H 3 + 3 H 2 O → 6 A g + H 3 P O 3 + 6 H +
