The most stable trihalide of nitrogen is.
Options
- ANF 3
- BNCl 3
- CNBr 3
- DNI 3
Correct answer
A. NF 3
Step-by-step solution
The size of halogen increases from F to I . The N - F bond is stronger than other N - X bonds due to the high electronegativity of fluorine. Larger the size of the halogen, less is the stability of nitrogen halide: The stability order is NF 3 > NCl 3 > NBr 3 > NI 3 .
