MCQ

In group $V-A$ of the periodic table nitrogen forms only a trihalide but other elements form pentahalides also. The reason is

A
Nitrogen has less affinity towards halogens
B
Nitrogen halides are covalent
C
Nitrogen undergoes ${d^2}s{p^3}$ hybridization
✓
Nitrogen does not have $d$ - orbitals

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

Nitrogen does not have $d$ - orbitals

d
(d) ${N_7}$-$1{s^2},\,2{s^2},\,2{p^3}$

$d$ - orbitals absent in second sub-shell.
