Identify the incorrect statement.

Identify the incorrect statement.

Options

  1. APEt3\mathrm{PEt}_3 and AsPh3\mathrm{AsPh}_3 as ligands can form dπ\mathrm{d} \pi-d π\pi bond with transition metals
  2. BThe N−N\mathrm{N}-\mathrm{N} single bond is as strong as the P−P\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{P} single bond
  3. CNitrogen has unique ability to form pπ−pπ\mathrm{p} \pi-\mathrm{p} \pi multiple bonds with nitrogen, carbon and oxygen
  4. DNitrogen cannot form dπ−pπ\mathrm{d} \pi-\mathrm{p} \pi bond as other heavier elements of its group

Correct answer

B. The N−N\mathrm{N}-\mathrm{N} single bond is as strong as the P−P\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{P} single bond

Step-by-step solution

- PEt3\mathrm{PEt}_3 and AsPh3\mathrm{AsPh}_3 as ligands can form dπ−dπ\mathrm{d} \pi-\mathrm{d} \pi bond with transition metals. - The N−N\mathrm{N}-\mathrm{N} single bond is weaker than the single P−P\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{P} bond because of high inter-electronic repulsion of the non-bonding electrons. - Nitrogen has unique ability to form pπ−pπp \pi-p \pi multiple bonds with itself, carbon and oxygen. - Nitrogen cannot form dπ−pπ\mathrm{d} \pi-\mathrm{p} \pi bond as other heavier elements of its group.
