JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - p -Block elements - ll
Given below are two statements:
Statement \((I)\) : Oxygen being the first member of group \(16\) exhibits only \(-2\) oxidation state.
Statement \((II)\) : Down the group \(16\) stability of \(+4\) oxidation state decreases and \(+6\) oxidation state increases.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
- A Statement \(I\) is correct but Statement \(II\) is incorrect
- B Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are correct
- C Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are incorrect
- D Statement \(I\) is incorrect but Statement \(II\) is correct
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are incorrect
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Statement-\(I\): Oxygen can have oxidation state from \(-2\) to \(+2\) , so statement \(I\) is incorrect Statement- \(II\): On moving down the group stability of \(+4\) oxidation state increases whereas stability of \(+6\) oxidation state decreases down the group, according to…
