JEE Main2012ChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular StructureActual
Although CN ⁻ ion and N ₂ molecule are isoelectronic, yet N ₂ molecule is chemically inert because of
Options
- Apresence of more number of electrons in bonding orbitals
- Blone bond energy
- Cabsence of bond polarity
- Duneven electron distribution.
Correct answer
C. absence of bond polarity
Step-by-step solution
In nitrogen molecule, both the nitrogen atoms have same electronegativity. So it has zero polarity and hence less tendency to break away and form ions.
