(c)
Interpretation:
The reason that the metal azide is potent explosives has to be given.
(c)

Answer to Problem 8G.5E
The metal azide is potent explosives because azide ion is
Explanation of Solution
Metal azides are explosive because although the diatomic form of nitrogen is very stable - that is, the triple bond that holds the nitrogen together is very strong and the metal azides themselves are unstable as the bonds between nitrogen atoms and other atoms weak by comparison. Therefore, little energy is required to overcome these weak bonds, but a great deal of energy is released when the strong triple bond in nitrogen are formed. The rapidity of the reaction is due to the weakness of the bonds in metal azides and the high quantity of overall energy released is due to the much higher strength of the triple bonds, produce the explosive qualities of these compounds.
