Fluorine is the best oxidising agent because it has :

• highest electron affinity

• highest E${}_{\mathrm{red}}^{°}$

• highest E${}_{\mathrm{oxid}}^{°}$

• lowest electron affinity

The basicity of H₃PO₄ is

• 2

• 3

NH₃ has much higher boiling point than PH₃ because

• NH₃ has larger molecular weight

• NH₃  undergoes umbrella inversion

• NH₃ forms hydrogen bond

• NH₃ contains ionic bonds whereas PH₃ contains covalent bonds.
