Assertion: Nitrogen is unreactive at roo...

Assertion: Nitrogen is unreactive at room temperature but becomes reactive at elevated temperature (on heating or in the presence of catalysts).
Reason: In nitrogen molecule, there is extensive delocalisation of electrons.

A

If both (`A`) and (`R`) are correct and (`R`) is the correct explanation of (`A`).

B

If both (`A`) and (`R`) are correct, but (`R`) is not the correct explanation of (`A`).

C

If (`A`) is correct, but (`R`) is incorrect.

D

If (`A`) is incorrect, but (`R`) is correct.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C, D

In `N_(2)`, Nitrogen atoms are bonded with covalent bond and there is no delocalisation of electrons.
