Account for the following : (i) Bi(V) is a stronger oxidizing agent than Sb(V). (ii) N-N single bond is weaker than P-P single bond. (iii) Noble gases have very low boiling points. |

Answer» Solution :(i) Because the presence of f - orbital electrons, BI is more stable in `+3` OXIDATION state than that of Sb. (ii) Because of interelectronic repulsion showing to small bond length of `N-N`/smaller SIZE of nitrogen atom. (iii) Because of weak dispersion FORCES. |
