Interpretation : The nitrogen does not react with other elements under normal temperature conditions to be inferred.
Concept Introduction : Among the group 15 elements, nitrogen is a non-metal. A colorless and odorless gas is nitrogen.
Nitrogen does not react with other elements under normal temperature conditions because of its half-filled configuration and the strong bond formed in between
The seventh element on the Periodic Table is nitrogen. It has a stable, half-filled p orbital and an electron configuration of
Nitrogen primarily occurs in nature as nitrogen gas, or
Since the nitrogen atom is quite little, the bond's length is also quite short (109.8 pm).
At normal temperatures, the bond dissociation has relatively high energy (946 kJ/mol).
So, it is difficult to break the bond between
