Identify the incorrect statement.
Identify the incorrect statement.
Options
- A and as ligands can form -d bond with transition metals
- BThe single bond is as strong as the single bond
- CNitrogen has unique ability to form multiple bonds with nitrogen, carbon and oxygen
- DNitrogen cannot form bond as other heavier elements of its group
Correct answer
B. The single bond is as strong as the single bond
Step-by-step solution
- and as ligands can form bond with transition metals.
- The single bond is weaker than the single bond because of high inter-electronic repulsion of the non-bonding electrons.
- Nitrogen has unique ability to form multiple bonds with itself, carbon and oxygen.
- Nitrogen cannot form bond as other heavier elements of its group.
