Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 437
Question: Although $ ~C{N^{-}} $ ion and $ N_2 $ molecule are isoelectronic, yet $ N_2 $ molecule is chemically inert because of
Options:
A) presence of more number of electrons in bonding orbitals
B) lone bond energy
C) absence of bond polarity
D) uneven electron distribution.
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- In nitrogen molecule, both the nitrogen atoms have same electronegativity. So it has zero polarity and hence less tendency to break away and form ions.
