Question
Which of the following statements is not correct for nitrogen?
A.
Its electronegativity is very high
B.
$$d$$-orbitals are available for bonding
C.
It is a typical non-metal
D.
Its molecular size is small
Answer :
$$d$$-orbitals are available for bonding
Solution :
Nitrogen does not have vacant $$d$$-orbital in its outermost shell.
$$N\left( 7 \right) = 1{s^2},2{s^2}2{p^3}$$
