The statement that is NOT correct is
- AIn solid state \( \mathrm{PCl}_{5} \) exists as \( \left[\mathrm{PCl}_{4}\right]^{+}\left[\mathrm{PCl}_{6}\right] \)
- Correct answerBPhosphorous acid on heating disproportionate to give meta phosphoric acid and
phosphine. - CHypo-phosphorous acid reduces silver nitrate to silver.
- DPure phosphine is non-inflammable,
Solution
Phosphorous acid on heating disproportionate to give orthophosphoric acid and phosphine.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
