Which of the following statements is true: (a) Melting point of Phosphorous is less than that of Nitrogen (b) N2 is highly reactive while P4 is inert (c) Nitrogen shows higher tendency of catenation than P (d) N-N is weaker than P-P |
|
Answer» Answer is (d) N-N is weaker than P-P other statements as incorrect as Phosphorus has a higher melting point due to bigger size than Nitrogen. Nitrogen is inert due to formation of triple bonds and has a lower covalence due to non - availability of d – orbitals |
