Nitrogen forms stable N(2) molecule but ...

Nitrogen forms stable `N_(2)` molecule but phosphorus is converted to `P_(4)" from "P_(2)` because

A

triple bond present between phosphorus atom

B

`ppi - ppi` bonding is weak

C

`ppi-ppi` bonding is strong

D

multiple bond form easily

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Nitorgen from `N_(2)` (i.e., `N -= N`) but phosphorus from `P_(2)`, it is at a time convert in `P_(4)`. Because in `P_(2),ppi-ppi` bonding is present which is a weakend bonding due to larger size.
