Assertion : Nitrogen in inactive at room...

Assertion : Nitrogen in inactive at room temperature but becomes reactive at elevated temperature (on heating or in the presence of catalyst).
Reason : In nitrogen molecule, there is delocalization electrons.

A

Assertion is true but the Reason is false

B

Assertion is false, Reason is true

C

Both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Reason.

D

Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`N_2` molecules contains triple bond hence, less reactive because of high bond energy .But reason is incorrect because there no delocalization of electron in it.
