The correct statement with respect to dinitrogen is :
Show Hint
- \(\mathrm{N_2}\) is paramagnetic in nature
- it can be used as an inert diluent for reactive chemicals
- it can combine with dioxygen at 25\(^\circ\)C
- liquid dinitrogen is not used in cryosurgery
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
(2) Because of the very strong \(\mathrm{N\equiv N}\) bond (945 kJ/mol), dinitrogen is inert and is used as an inert diluent/atmosphere for reactive chemicals. Correct.
(3) \(\mathrm{N_2}\) combines with \(\mathrm{O_2}\) only at very high temperature (about 2000 K or in an electric arc), not at 25\(^\circ\)C. Incorrect.
(4) Liquid dinitrogen is widely used as a cryogen in cryosurgery, so the statement is incorrect.
Answer: (2) it can be used as an inert diluent for reactive chemicals

Top JEE Main Questions
- Two masses $m$ and $\frac{m}{2}$ are connected at the two ends of a massless rigid rod of length $l$. The rod is suspended by a thin wire of torsional constant $k$ at the centre of mass of the rod-mass system(see figure). Because of torsional constant $k$, the restoring torque is $\tau =k\theta$ for angular displacement $\theta$. If the rod is rota ted by $\theta_0$ and released, the tension in it when it passes through its mean position will be:
