Question

Which of the following statements is/are about nitrogen?
A.its atomic number is 7
B.it is very difficult to identify
C.it is a typical non metal
D.Ease of formation of triple bond

Answer 1

Hint: Nitrogen atom belongs to p block elements. Nitrogen is often called as pnictogens. Most of the industrial compounds contain nitrogen atoms such as ammonia, nitric acid, organic nitrates, and cyanides. Nitrogen also possesses -3,-2,-2,+1,+2,+3,+4,+5 oxidation states. The triple bonded compound of nitrogen is the second strongest bond in any diatomic molecule after carbon monoxide.

Complete step by step answer:
As per the given question and choices, the nitrogen atom is located in the group 15 (p-block) it has an atomic number 7 and is located between carbon and oxygen. As nitrogen is inert in nature, it generally does not react with other compounds. This is the reason it is very difficult to identify. Nitrogen completes its octet state by forming a triple bond.
All of the following statements are true about nitrogen, as its atomic number is 7, it is very difficult to identify, it is typical non-metal and ease of formation of a triple bond.
Thus, Option A, B, C, and D are all correct.

Note:
It was discovered and isolated by Daniel Rutherford by Scottish physician in the year 1772. Nitrogen is the lightest member of group 15 of the periodic compounds. In crystalline form, they are hexagonal in shape. Nitrogen is a constituent of every major pharmacological drug class, including antibiotics. Many drugs are mimics or prodrugs of the natural nitrogen-containing signal molecule: for example, the organic nitrates nitroglycerin and nitroprusside control blood pressure by metabolizing into nitric oxide. Many notable nitrogen-containing drugs, such as the natural caffeine and morphine or the synthetic amphetamines, act on receptors of animal neurotransmitters.
