\(\mathrm{N}_{2}\) does not show property of catenation because
- A it has no \(d\)-orbitals in the valence shell
- B interelectronic repulsion between non-bonding electrons is greater
- C \(N \equiv N\) has high bond enthalpy
- D nitrogen has very high ionisation enthalpy
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) interelectronic repulsion between non-bonding electrons is greater
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Nitrogen does not show property of catenation. Since, \(\mathrm{N}-\mathrm{N}\) single bond is very weak due to large interelectronic repulsions between the lone pairs of electrons present on the \(\mathrm{N}\)-atoms of \(\mathrm{N}\) - \(\mathrm{N}\) bond having small bond…
