Two p-block elements X and Y form fluorides of the type $\mathrm{EF}_{3}$. The fluoride compound $\mathrm{XF}_{3}$ is a Lewis acid and $\mathrm{YF}_{3}$ is a Lewis base. The hybridizations of the central atoms of $\mathrm{XF}_{3}$ and $\mathrm{YF}_{3}$ respectively are
Elements X and Y belong to Group 15. The difference between the electronegativity values of ' X ' and phosphorus is higher than that of the difference between phosphorus and ' Y '. ' X ' \& ' Y ' are respectively
