Which of the following combination will form an electrovalent bond ?

• P and Cl

• NH₃ and BF₃

• H and Ca

• H and S

C-H bond energy is about 101 kcal/ mol for methane, ethane and other alkanes but is only 77 kcal/ mol for C-H bond of CH₃ in toluene. This is because :

• of inductive effect due to -CH₃ in toluene

• of the presence of benzene ring in toluene

• of resonance among the structures of benzyl radical in toluene

• aromaticity of toluene
