Why does nitrogen exist as N₂ while phosphorus exists as P₄?
| 1. | The tendency to form pπ–pπ bonds decreases on moving up the group. |
| 2. | The tendency to form pπ–pπ bonds decreases on moving down the group. |
| 3. | The tendency to form dπ–dπ bonds decreases on moving down the group. |
| 4. | The tendency to form dπ–dπ bonds decreases on moving up the group. |
| 1. | \(\mathrm{PEt}_3\) and \(\mathrm{Asph}_3\) as ligands can form \(\mathrm{d} \pi-\mathrm{d} \pi\) bond with transition metals. |
| 2. | The \(\mathrm{N}-\mathrm{N}\) single bond is as strong as the \(\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{P}\) single bond. |
| 3. | Nitrogen has unique ability to form \(\mathrm{p \pi-p \pi}\) multiple bonds with nitrogen, carbon and oxygen. |
| 4. | Nitrogen cannot form \(\mathrm{d} \pi-\mathrm{p} \pi\) bond as other heavier elements of its group. |
