The formula of the hydride of nitrogen that is acidic in nature is :
The formula of the hydride of nitrogen that is acidic in nature is :
- A. \( \mathrm{NH}_{3} \)
- B. \( \mathrm{HN}_{3} \)
- C. \( \mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{4} \)
- D. \( \mathrm{NH}_{2} \mathrm{OH} \)
Step-by-step solution
NH3 (ammonia), N2H4 (hydrazine), and NH2OH (hydroxylamine) are basic due to lone pairs on nitrogen. HN3 (hydrogen azide, hydrazoic acid) is acidic because it can donate a proton, with a pKa of about 4.6.
