Chemistry Question on Haloalkanes and Haloarenes

Which is extremely stable?

A

NF3N{{F}_{3}}

B

NCl3NC{{l}_{3}}

C

NBr3NB{{r}_{3}}

D

NH3N{{H}_{3}}

Answer

NF3N{{F}_{3}}

Explanation

Solution

Nitrogen form trihalides of the formula NX3.\text{N}{{\text{X}}_{\text{3}}}\text{.} Among halides of nitrogen, NF3\text{N}{{\text{F}}_{3}} is extremely stable due to strong N-F bond in NF3.\text{N}{{\text{F}}_{3}}. Small size .of both nitrogen and fluorine atom causes strongness of NF\text{N}-\text{F} bond. NCl3\text{NC}{{\text{l}}_{\text{3}}} is explosive yellow oil. NBr3\text{NB}{{\text{r}}_{\text{3}}} and NI3\text{N}{{\text{I}}_{3}} are unstable compound and known only as ammonia complex e. , NBr3.6NH3.NB{{r}_{3}}.6N{{H}_{3}}.
