The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of identifying the wrong statement regarding nitrogen and its properties, we will analyze each statement provided in the video transcript step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement Analysis:** - **Statement 1:** "Nitrogen has the ability to form P pi P pi bond with itself." - **Evaluation:** This statement is true. Nitrogen can form a triple bond (one sigma and two pi bonds) with itself due to the presence of p orbitals. 2. **Statement 2:** "Nitrogen belongs to the second period in group 15." - **Evaluation:** This statement is also true. Nitrogen is indeed located in the second period and is part of group 15 in the periodic table. 3. **Statement 3:** "Bismuth forms metallic bonds in elemental states." - **Evaluation:** This statement is true. Bismuth, being a metal, does form metallic bonds in its elemental state. 4. **Statement 4:** "The catenation tendency is higher in nitrogen when compared with other elements of the same group." - **Evaluation:** This statement is false. Catenation refers to the ability of an element to form chains with itself. While nitrogen can form N-N bonds, these bonds are weaker due to inter-electronic repulsion, making nitrogen's catenation ability lower than that of phosphorus, which can form strong P-P bonds and larger structures like P4. 5. **Statement 5:** "The first ionization energy of nitrogen is higher compared to other elements." - **Evaluation:** This statement is true. Nitrogen has a higher first ionization energy than other elements in group 15 due to its smaller atomic size and higher effective nuclear charge. ### Conclusion: The wrong statement is **Statement 4**: "The catenation tendency is higher in nitrogen when compared with other elements of the same group."
