A diatomic gas belonging to group 15 combines with a halogen to form a trihalides which is fairly stable and inert. The trihalide is

A

`NCl_(3)`

B

`PCl_(3)`

C

`BiF_(3)`

D

`NF_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Out of all the group 15 elements it is nitrogen which is a gas and is diatomic in nature. Rest of the elements are solid and exist as tetratomic. Further out of all the halides of N, it is `NF_(3)` which is fairly stable. Rest of the halides `NCl_(3), NBr_(3),NI_(3)` etc are unstable.
