Statement-I is correct. Ni is used in Hydrogenation of unsaturated fat to make edible fats. Statements-II is false as hydride of Silicon is electron precise neither electron deficient nor electron rich.

Both the statements I and II are correct

Statement I is incorrect but statement II is correct

Both the statements I and II are incorrect

Statement I is correct but statement II is incorrect

Statement-I is correct. Ni is used in Hydrogenation of unsaturated fat to make edible fats. Statements-II is false as hydride of Silicon is electron precise & neither electron deficient nor electron rich.

Statement-I is correct.
$N i$ is used in Hydrogenation of unsaturated fat to make edible fats.
Statements-II is false as hydride of Silicon is electron precise & neither electron deficient nor electron rich.
