Question
**Question:**

According to hard-soft acid-base theory, which pair below would preferentially bind to PbS surface?

**Options:**

- ○ NH₃ and (CH₃)₂Zn

- ○ NH₃ and (CH₃)₂Hg

- ○ AsH₃ and (CH₃)₂Zn

- ● AsH₃ and (CH₃)₂Hg

**Explanation:**

The question involves selecting a pair of compounds that preferentially bind to a lead sulfide (PbS) surface based on the hard-soft acid-base (HSAB) theory. The selected option is "AsH₃ and (CH₃)₂Hg", indicating that this pair is more likely to interact with the PbS surface according to the given theory.
