Question
Nitrogen is relatively inactive element because
A.
its atoms has a stable electronic configuration
B.
it has low atomic radius
C.
its electronegativity is fairly high
D.
dissociation energy of its molecule is fairly high
Answer :
dissociation energy of its molecule is fairly high
Solution :
$${N_2}$$ molecule contains triple bond between $$N$$ atoms, having very high dissociation energy $$\left( {946\,kJ\,mo{l^{ - 1}}} \right)$$ due to which it is relatively inactive.
