Which one of the following compounds is most explosive?

A.NCl3✓ Correct

B.PCl3

C.AsCl3

D.NF3

Explanation

The substance which is highly reactive or unstable will act as explosive. As we go down the group, size of the non-metal increases and due to this increase in size, stability increases. Chlorine is already large in size. Hence, the order of stability is- 3 3 3 NCl <PCl <AsCl Thus, the correct option is (a) 3 NCl
