Poison used for killing rats is – (1) Calcium phosphide (Ca3P2) (2) Zinc phosphide (Zn3P2) (3) Magnesium nitride (Mg3N2) (4) Magnesium phosphide (Mg3P2)

1 Answer

Answer :

(2) Zinc phosphide (Zn3P2) Explanation: Zinc phosphide is an inorganic compound that is used in pesticide products as a rodenticide. Formulated as attractive bait, it releases phosphine gas once it is exposed to acid and moisture in the stomach. The phosphine gas is very toxic to all animals.
