32. Explain the following observationPhosphorus is much more reactive thannitrogen.(Delhi 2009) |
|
Answer» Nitrogen gas has complete octet for both the atoms and it is unreactive due to the prsence of strong triple bond.On the other hand phosphorous has bonds with unstable angle strains compared to that of nitrogen due to which it burns quickly,hence easily reacts. p4 has angular strain . angle b/w 2 p atoms is 60o.so they tend to move away. N2 has triple bond which makes it more stable. |
