Assertion : Nitrogen is unreactive at room temperature but becomes reactive at elevated temperature (on heating or in the presence of catalysts).
Reason : In nitrogen molecule, there is extensive delocalization of electrons.
Reason : In nitrogen molecule, there is extensive delocalization of electrons.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If Assertion is True but the Reason is False
Option C (If Assertion is True but the Reason is False) is correct because while nitrogen is unreactive at room temperature, the reason is due to the high bond dissociation energy of the N≡N triple bond, not electron delocalization.
