Nitrogen forms a simple diatomic molecule but other elements of same group do not form. Explain. |
| Answer» Solution :Atomic size of nitrogen is very less. Hence .N. atom can approach close to another .N. atom. This FACILITATES the LATERAL overlapof the p-orbitals forming `pi` - BONDS. Due to large size, other atoms of the same GROUP form only single bonds, but not multiple bonds. | |
