The strong reducing behaviour of H3PO2 is due to:

1. Presence of one -OH group and two P-H bonds.

2. High electron gain enthalpy of phosphorus.

3. High oxidation state of phosphorus.

4. Presence of two -OH groups and one P-H bond.

The electronegativity difference between N and F is greater than that between N and H yet the dipole moment of NH3 (1.5 D) is larger than that of NF3 (0.2 D). This is because:

1. In NH3 as well as in NFthe atomic dipole and bond dipole are in the same direction
2. In NH3  the atomic dipole and bond dipole are in the same direction whereas in NF3 these are in opposite directions
3. In NH3 as well as in NFthe atomic dipole and bond dipole are in opposite directions
4. In NH3  the atomic dipole and the bond dipole is in opposite directions whereas in NF3 these are in the same directions
