The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is not correct for nitrogen, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze the First Statement **Statement:** "It is obtained by heating NH4 whole twice Cr2O7." - When ammonium dichromate \((NH_4)_2Cr_2O_7\) is heated, it decomposes to produce nitrogen gas \((N_2)\), chromium(III) oxide \((Cr_2O_3)\), and water \((H_2O)\). - The reaction can be summarized as: \[ (NH_4)_2Cr_2O_7 \rightarrow N_2 + Cr_2O_3 + 4H_2O \] - Since nitrogen gas is indeed produced from this reaction, this statement is **correct**. ### Step 2: Analyze the Second Statement **Statement:** "It does not readily react with O2." - Nitrogen gas \((N_2)\) has a strong triple bond between the nitrogen atoms, which requires a significant amount of energy to break. - Due to this high bond dissociation energy, nitrogen does not readily react with oxygen under normal conditions. - Therefore, this statement is also **correct**. ### Step 3: Analyze the Third Statement **Statement:** "It is a typical nonmetal." - Nitrogen, with an atomic number of 7, has the electronic configuration of \(1s^2 2s^2 2p^3\). - It has five valence electrons and tends to gain or share electrons to achieve a stable octet, which is characteristic of nonmetals. - Thus, this statement is also **correct**. ### Step 4: Analyze the Fourth Statement **Statement:** "D orbitals are available for bonding." - Nitrogen is in the second period of the periodic table, and elements in this period do not have d orbitals available for bonding. - Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. ### Conclusion The statement that is not correct for nitrogen is: **"D orbitals are available for bonding."** ---
