Question

why nitrogen trihalides are unstable​

Answer 1

Hlo buddy ✌✌.....

It is because of the small size and high electronegativity of nitrogen. Nitrogen has very small size as compared to the halogens, which have much larger sizes. Due to this, they can not remain bonded to the nitrogen atom and hence are highly unstable. As of NF3, it is stable and highly inert gas at room temperature.

Hope it will help you ....

Please mark me as brainlist..

Answer 2

Answer:

ONLY NF3 IS STABLE

Explanation:

NF3 is stable because

1.Due to nearly same size of nitrogen and fluorine so they can overlap their orbitals and achieve the ideal electronic configuration.

2.Fluorine is the most electronegativity element in the whole periodic table.

so they can form a stable bond.
