Which of the following compound does not exists?
- A \(\mathrm{NCl}_3\)
- B \(\mathrm{NCl}_5\)
- C \(\mathrm{SbCl}_3\)
- D \(\mathrm{NI}_3\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\mathrm{NCl}_5\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{N}\) belongs to second period as it has no \(d\)-orbital. So, five pairs of bonding electrons around nitrogen is not possible. As a result \(\mathrm{NCl}_5\) does not exist.
