Question

Give reasons for the following:
(a) CN¯ ion is known but CP¯ ion is not known.
(b) NO2 demerises to form N2O4
(c) ICl is more reactive than I2

Solution

i) In contrast to nitrogen which forms N₂ in the gas phase with a triple bond, phosphorus forms P₄ which has four strained single bonds. Due to its size and way it exist Phosphorous don't form CP^-
ii) NO₂ dimerizes to N₂O₄ because NO₂ has odd number of unpaired electrons . So, it is unstable according to molecular orbital theory. Hence, it dimerizes to form N₂O₄.
iii) ICl is more reactive than I₂ because ICl is a polar bond where as I₂ has a non-polar bond.
