p-Block Elements (Class 12) · Class 12 · JEE Main Previous Year Question
The correct statement with respect to dinitrogen is:
- a
is paramagnetic in nature.
- b
It can combine with dioxygen at
- c
Liquid dinitrogen is not used in cryosurgery.
- d✓
It can be used as an inert diluent for reactive chemicals
It can be used as an inert diluent for reactive chemicals
Strategy: Consider the electronic structure and stability of the dinitrogen molecule.
Step 1: Nitrogen Bonding Dinitrogen features a triple bond , which has an exceptionally high bond dissociation enthalpy .
Step 2: Conclusion Due to the immense stability of the triple bond, Nitrogen does not readily react with major atmospheric components under normal temperatures and pressures, behaving as an inert gas.
