The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which element does not form p pi - d pi bonding with oxygen, we need to analyze the bonding capabilities of the given options based on their electronic configurations and the presence of d orbitals. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding p pi - d pi Bonding**: - p pi - d pi bonding occurs when a p orbital from one atom overlaps with a d orbital from another atom. For this type of bonding to occur, the atom with the d orbitals must have available d orbitals (empty d orbitals) to participate in bonding. 2. **Identify the Elements**: - The question provides options that include elements like phosphorus, nitrogen, chlorine, etc. We need to consider their ability to form p pi - d pi bonds with oxygen. 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option A: Phosphorus (in P4O10)**: - Phosphorus has empty d orbitals and can participate in p pi - d pi bonding with oxygen. Therefore, it can form p pi - d pi bonds. - **Option B: Nitrogen (in N2O5)**: - Nitrogen is a small atom with no available d orbitals. It only has s and p orbitals. Thus, nitrogen cannot form p pi - d pi bonds with oxygen. - **Option C: Chlorine**: - Chlorine has available d orbitals and can participate in p pi - d pi bonding with oxygen. Therefore, it can form p pi - d pi bonds. - **Option D: Another element (not specified)**: - If this option is also a heavier element with d orbitals, it would likely be able to form p pi - d pi bonds with oxygen. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the element that cannot form p pi - d pi bonding with oxygen is **Nitrogen (Option B)**, as it lacks the necessary d orbitals. ### Final Answer: **Nitrogen in N2O5 does not form p pi - d pi bonding with oxygen.**
