Question

Nitrogen is relatively inert as compared to phosphorus

Answer 1

since N2 contains triple bond its enthalpy is very high hence it do not react at room temperature

Answer 2

As nitrogen has high bond enthalpy value than phosphorous, it is  relatively inert as compared to phosphorus.

• Nitrogen is a diatomic molecule that is composed of 2 atoms of nitrogen held together by a triple bond.
• On the other hand, phosphorus is a polyatomic molecule which is composed of four phosphorus atom joined together through a single bond.
• As more bonds are present, the bond enthalpy will also be very high. Accordingly, in the case of nitrogen, it is 941  kJmo$l^-1$, whereas for phosphorous it is 200 kJmo$l^-1$.

• Thus nitrogen is relatively inert when compared to phosphorous.
