      Explain the following : (i) is an exothermic compound but  is an endothermic compound. (ii) Nitrogen does not form pent chloride like phosphorus.

    Answer:

      (i) Nitrogen has three unpaired electron in the valence shell with which it can from three bonds - nitrogen forms  with the help of one  bond and two re-bonds. Size of phosphorous is large. It cannot forms Ti-bond, phosphorus completes its valency by forming three bond with three other phosphorous atom. This is why nitrogen forms  but phosphorus forms . (ii) Bond energy of  is greater than the bond energy of . Therefore, formation of  is energetically favourable. Thus,  is known but  is not known.
