← ScienceWhich consequence results when nitrogen's limited d-orbital hybridization?
A)Nitrogen cannot form expansive pi-systems✓
B)Nitrogen has exceptional catalytic capabilities
C)Nitrogen exhibits increased water solubility
D)Nitrogen experiences augmented radical stability
💡 Explanation
Nitrogen's lack of d-orbitals constraints its ability to hybridize and form extensive pi-systems. Therefore, it limits nitrogen creating compounds with extensive pi-conjugation, because nitrogen only can accommodate 4 sigma bonds, rather than having possible expanded valence.
