Nitrogen and phosphorus are elements in the same group but property of catenation is shown only by phosphorus, why? |
| Answer» Solution :NITROGEN has high bond dissociation energy and forms triple bond in `N-= N`. THEREFORE it cannot SHOW the PROPERTY of CATENATION. Phosphorus has low bond dissociation energy and forms P-P bond which can extend further to exhibit catenation. | |
