The reason for (a) p2 which is similar to n2 molecule is not stable because (what is (a): (a) the bond energy of three (pp) bonds is more than (p-p) triple bond

The reason for (A) P2 which is similar to N2 molecule is not stable because (what is (A): (a) The bond energy of three (PP) bonds is more than (P-P) triple bond as opposed to N=N bond energy which is more than there (N-N) bond energy (A-gaseous) (b) Lattice energy of P-P is more than N-N bond energy (A = Solid state) (c) Lone pairs of electrons in P= Pis kinetically more reactive than those present on N2 in N=N(A solid state) (d) Kinetically P-P bond is more reactive than N-N bond (A = liquid) 2.

    See as Like N2 phosphorous don't form P2...rather it form P4...in P4 each phosphorus is attached to three P atom by single bond...the Three P-P single bond has more energy than P P triple bond

    In N2 the N N triple bond has more energy than N-N single bond

    eduncle-logo-app

    And you know more the bond energy...stronger is the bond...means it likely to be more stable and less reactive

    So P2 is less stable than N2 as they are similar
