NEET Chemistry Question (2024) — Solution
Options
- A. PEt _3 and AsPh _3 as ligands can form d -d bond with transition metals
- B. The N - N single bond is as strong as the P - P single bond
- C. Nitrogen has unique ability to form p - p multiple bonds with nitrogen, carbon and oxygen
- D. Nitrogen cannot form d - p bond as other heavier elements of its group
Answer
B. The N - N single bond is as strong as the P - P single bond
Step-by-step solution
- PEt _3 and AsPh _3 as ligands can form d - d bond with transition metals. - The N - N single bond is weaker than the single P - P bond because of high inter-electronic repulsion of the non-bonding electrons. - Nitrogen has unique ability to form p -p multiple bonds with itself, carbon and oxygen. - Nitrogen cannot form d - p bond as other heavier elements of its group.
