NF_(3), is possible, but NF_(5), is not. Why? |

Answer» Solution :(1) Nitrogen has electronic configuration, `""_(7)N 1s^(2) 2s^(2)2p_(x)^(1) 2p_(y)^(1)2p_(z)^(1)` (2) Since N has three unpaired ELECTRONS, it forms three N-F BONDS.(3) Nitrogen does not contain d-orbital to expand and HENCE cannot accommodate 10 electrons of five N-F bonds. Hence it does not form `NF_(5)` |
