JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - p -Block elements - ll
Correct statements from the following are:
A. Nitrogen in oxidation states from \(+1\) to \(+4\) disproportionates in acid medium.
B. Nitrogen has the ability to form \(d\pi - p\pi\) multiple bonds with itself and other elements with small size and high electronegativity.
C. N-N single bond is stronger than P-P single bond.
D. Nitrogen has highest density in its group due to small size.
E. The maximum covalency of nitrogen is four since it has only four valence orbitals for bonding.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A B, C and D Only
- B C, D and E Only
- C A, C and E Only
- D A and E Only
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) A and E Only
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Statement A is correct. Nitrogen in oxidation states from \(+1\) to \(+4\) tends to disproportionate in acidic medium. For example, \(3HNO_2 \rightarrow HNO_3 + H_2O + 2NO\). Statement B is incorrect. Nitrogen does not have d-orbitals in its valence shell, so it cannot form…
