Question

81 Nitrogen present in air supports the process of burning.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

• Combustion occurs in the presence of oxygen.
• The powerful triple bonds that form between the three pairs of electrons shared by two nitrogen atoms $(\mathrm{N}\equiv \mathrm{N})$cause unreactive behaviour.
• Because these bonds have limited radii, breaking them takes more energy.

Thus, Oxygen present in air supports the process of burning.

Final answer: The given statement is false.
