Which of the following elements shows maximum tendency to form multiple bonds with itself and with other elements of small size and high electronegativity?
- A.Phosphorus
- B.NitrogenCorrect answer
- C.Arsenic
- D.Antimony
Solution
Nitrogen has a small size and high electronegativity, which gives it a unique ability to form multiple bonds with itself and with other elements (like carbon and oxygen). Heavier elements of group 15 do not form bonds because their atomic orbitals are too large and diffuse.
