The element from group 15 that forms a strong bond with hydrogen is:
| 1. | N | 2. | P |
| 3. | As | 4. | Sb |
PH3 forms bubbles when passed slowly through water but NH3 gets dissolved in water, because:
| 1. | NH3 forms an H-bond with water, so it is soluble but PH3 does not form an H-bond. |
| 2. | NH3 does not form an H-bond with water, so it is soluble but PH3 does form an H-bond. |
| 3. | NH3 and PH3 both form H-bond with water. |
| 4. | NH3 and PH3 both do not form H-bond with water. |
The bonding present in nitrogen molecules is:
1. \(p\pi-p\pi\)
2. \(p\pi-d\pi\)
3. \(d\pi-d\pi\)
4. Only sigma bond
An element that does not have a d-orbital is:
| 1. | P | 2. | N |
| 3. | As | 4. | Bi |
NH3 forms a hydrogen bond but PH3 does not because:
| 1. | Phosphorus is more electronegative as compared to nitrogen. |
| 2. | Nitrogen is more electronegative as compared to phosphorus. |
| 3. | Nitrogen and phosphorous have equal electronegativity. |
| 4. | Nitrogen is more stable as compared to phosphorus. |
