Vedclass · Answer

(D) In trisilyamine $(SiH_3)_3N$,the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom is donated into the empty $d$-orbitals of the silicon atoms through $p\pi-d\pi$ back-bonding.This delocalization of the lone pair makes the nitrogen atom $sp^2$ hybridized,resulting in a trigonal planar geometry.Due to this back-bonding,the lone pair is not available for donation,making the molecule extremely weakly basic.
