Write a note on the anomalous properties of Nitrogen.

Explanation

(1) Nitrogen has small size, high electronegativity, high ionisation enthalpy and non-availability of d orbitals. (2) Nitrogen has the unique ability to form multiple bonds with itself and with other elements having small size and high electronegativity (eg C.O) Nitrogen diatomic molecule with a triple bond. Its hond enthalpy ( `941Kj mol^(-1))` is very high.
(3) Nitrogen a les capacity for catenation. It does not form dpi-ppi multiple bonds.
