The most stable trihalide of nitrogen is.
- a✓
- b
- c
- d
Strategy: Compare the stability of nitrogen trihalides based on bond strength and thermodynamics.
Step 1: Stability Trends Among the trihalides of Nitrogen , only is exothermic and stable. This is because both and are small, allowing for effective orbital overlap.
Step 2: Instability of Others The halides and are endothermic and highly explosive due to the large size difference between Nitrogen and the heavier halogens.
