Nitrogen forms N(2) but phosphorous when...

Nitrogen forms `N_(2)` but phosphorous when forms `P_(2)` gets readily converted into `P_(4)` because

A

triple bonding is present between phosphorus atom

B

`rhopik -rho pi` bond is weak

C

`rhopi-rhopi` bonding is strong

D

multiple bond is formed easily

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`P_(2)` is unstable because the `p pi-p pi` bonding in it is weak due to larger atomic size of `P`. Thus, `P_(2)` is converted into `P_(4)` in which there is `dpi-p pi` bonding.
