Which of the following generally distinguishes the first element of a p-block group from its heavier — p Block Elements Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

The first element of a p-block group (like C, N, O) has a small size and a strong tendency to form $p\pi-p\pi$ multiple bonds with itself and other second-period elements. Heavier elements struggle to form these bonds due to their larger atomic orbitals.
