The cyanide ion `CN and N_(2)` are isoelectronic, but in contrast to `CN^(-), N_(2)` is chemically inert, because of

A

Low and energy

B

Absence of bond polarity

C

Usymmetrical electron distribution

D

Presence of more number of electrons in bonding orbitals

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Similar atoms are linked to each other and thus there is no polarity .
