Anomalous Properties Of Nitrogen

Explanation

Anomalous Properties of Nitrogen

Usually, the first element of any periodic table group varies from the remainder of the elements concerning their chemical properties. Therefore, nitrogen differs from the rest of the elements in its properties in group 15. The remarkable properties of nitrogen are credited to its small atomic size, high electro-negativity or high ionization enthalpy, the non–accessibility of d-orbitals and the tendency to create multiple bonds. No one but nitrogen can make nitride ions by picking up electrons because of its small size and high electro-negativity.
