alleryNitrogen cannot reach the plus five state with halogens because it has no:
As-orbitals
Belectrons
Cd-orbitals
Dp-orbitals
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. d-orbitals
1. Reaching that state needs more orbitals than the second shell offers.
2. Nitrogen sits in the second period.
3. So it does not have d-orbitals available.
