Which of the following statements is not correct for nitrogen?

1. Its electronegativity is very high
2. d-orbitals are available for bonding
3. It is a typical non-metal
4. Its molecular size is small

Correct answer: d-orbitals are available for bonding

Solution

Nitrogen does not have d-orbitals in its valence shell because it belongs to the second period, where only s and p orbitals are available for bonding.
