A) \[p\pi -p\pi \] bonding is strong in phosphorus
B) \[p\pi -p\pi \]bonding is weak in phosphorus
C) triple bond is present in phosphorus
D) single P - P bond is weaker than N - N bond.
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
\[p\pi -p\pi \] bonding in nitrogen is strong hence it can form triple bond with another N. Single N - N bond is weaker than P - P bond due to high interionic repulsion of non-bonding electrons. Hence, \[N\equiv N\]is stable and \[{{P}_{2}}\] is not.You need to login to perform this action.
