Questions
Account for the following:
N2 is less reactive at room temperature.
Give reasons for the following :
N2 is less reactive at room temperature.
Why is N2 less reactive at room temperature?
Solution 1
The bond dissociation energy of N2 is very high because of the triple bond present between the two nitrogen atoms. Therefore, N2 is less reactive at room temperature.
Solution 2
The two N atoms in N2 are bonded to each other by very strong triple covalent bonds. The bond dissociation energy of this bond is very high. As a result, N2 is less reactive at room temperature.
