Given below are two statements: In the light of given statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

  1. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
  2. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
  3. Statement I is false but Statement II is true
  4. Both Statement I and Statement II are False

Answer

(1) Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Solution

Statement I: As per NCERT, nitrogen forms p -p multiple bonds with itself and with other small, highly electronegative atoms such as O. Hence it forms oxides in all oxidation states from +1 to +5: N2O (+1), NO (+2), N2O3 (+3), NO2 (+4), N2O5 (+5). True.

Statement II: As per NCERT, nitrogen does not form a pentahalide because there are no d orbitals in its valence shell; its covalency is limited to four, so NX5 cannot exist. True.
