JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 3. Classification of elements and periodicity in properties

Given below are two statements : Statement \((I)\) : The oxidation state of an element in a particular compound is the charge acquired by its atom on the basis of electron gain enthalpy consideration from other atoms in the molecule. Statement \((II)\) : \(\mathrm{p} \pi-\mathrm{p} \pi\) bond formation is more prevalent in second period elements over other periods. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

  1. A Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are incorrect
  2. B Statement \(I\) is correct but Statement \(II\) is incorrect
  3. C Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are correct
  4. D Statement \(I\) is incorrect but Statement \(II\) is correct
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Statement \(I\) is incorrect but Statement \(II\) is correct

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Oxidation state of an element in a particular compound is defined by the charge acquired by its atom on the basis of electronegativity consideration from other atoms in molecule.
