Question: In analogy to\(O_{2}^{+}\lbrack PtF_{6}\rbrack^{-}\), a compound\(N_{2}^{+}\lbrack PtF_{6}\rbrack^{-...
In analogy toO2+[PtF6]−, a compoundN2+[PtF6]− will not be formed because –
A
The IE ofN2 gas is higher than that of N-atom
B
The IE ofN2gas is lower than that ofO2gas
C
The IE ofN2gas is higher than that ofO2gas
D
None of these
Answer
The IE ofN2gas is higher than that ofO2gas
Explanation
Solution
The IE ofN2gas (1503 kJmol−1)is higher than that of O2 gas (1175 kJ mol−1 and it cannot lose its electron easily)
