Nitrogen is relatively inactive element ...

Nitrogen is relatively inactive element because

A

its atom has a stable electronic configuration

B

it has low atomic radius

C

its electronegativity is fairly high

D

dissociation energy of its molecules is fairly high

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Dinitrogen `(N_(2))` is chemically unreactive at ordinary temperature . The `N-N` bond in nitrogen molecule is a triple bond `(N-=N)` with a bond distance of 109.8 pm and bond dissociation energy of 946 kJ `mol^(-1)`. The low reactivity of nitrogen is due to fairly high bond dissociation energy of the molecule
