JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - p -Block elements - ll

Given below are two statements :
Statement I : Nitrogen forms oxides with +1 to +5 oxidation states due to the formation of \(\mathrm{p} \pi-\mathrm{p} \pi\) bond with oxygen.
Statement II : Nitrogen does not form halides with +5 oxidation state due to the absence of d-orbital in it.
In the light of given statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

  1. A Statement I is true but Statement II is false
  2. B Both Statement I and Statement II are false
  3. C Statement I is false but Statement II is true
  4. D Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In oxide of nitrogen it can achieve +5 oxidation state because it can form \(\mathrm{p} \pi-\mathrm{p} \pi\) bond with oxygen e.g. \(\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}_5\) Nitrogen cannot form halide in +5 oxidation state because it does not contain d-orbital. e.g. \(\mathrm{NX}_5\) does…
