MCQ

${N_2}$ forms $NC{l_3}$, whereas $P$ can form both $PC{l_3}$ and $PC{l_5}$. Why

✓
$P$ has low lying $3d$ orbitals, which can be used for bonding but ${N_2}$ does not have low lying $3d$ orbital
B
${N_2}$ atom is larger than $P$ in size
C
$P$ is more reactive towards $Cl$ than ${N_2}$
D
None of these

✓

Answer

Correct option: A.

$P$ has low lying $3d$ orbitals, which can be used for bonding but ${N_2}$ does not have low lying $3d$ orbital

a
(a) $P$ has low lying $3d$ orbitals, which can be used for bonding, where as ${N_2}$ does not have low lying $3d$ orbitals.
