Question

NF3 is stable While NCL3 and NI3 are explosive why

Answer 1

it's because of the larger size of the iodine and chlorine atom the stability decreases.

Answer 2

Hey dear,

● Answer with explanation -
- F has very high electronegativity as compared to Cl & I.
- As electronegativity difference between N & F is very big it forms a strong N-F bond and thus stable NF3 molecule.
- Electronegativity difference between N & Cl/I is comparatively less and thus N-Cl or N-I bond is relatively weaker.
- Less stable NCl3 or NI3 thus is explosive in nature.
