Thiocyanogen (SCN)2
- Thiocyanogen ((SCN)2) is a compound that is composed of two thiocyanate (SCN) groups linked together.
- It is a highly reactive compound and is unstable at higher temperatures due to its tendency to decompose.
- To maintain its stability, the conditions must favor minimal thermal agitation, which is achieved at low temperatures.
EXPLANATION:
- The stability of thiocyanogen ((SCN)2) depends on the temperature:
- At high or very high temperatures, the compound decomposes rapidly due to increased molecular motion and energy.
- At room temperature, it is still prone to decomposition, though at a slower rate compared to higher temperatures.
- At low temperatures, the thermal energy is reduced, preventing rapid decomposition and thus stabilizing the compound.
Therefore, thiocyanogen ((SCN)2) is stable only at low temperatures.
