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

Given below are two statements : Statement \(-I :\) The pentavalent oxide of group\(- 15\) element. \(E _{2} O _{5}\). is less acidic than trivalent oxide. \(E _{2} O _{3}\). of the same element. Statement \(-II :\) The acidic character of trivalent oxide of group \(15\) elements. \(E _{2} O _{3}\). decreases down the group. In light of the above statements. choose most appropriate answer from the options given below

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Statement \(I\) is false but statement \(II\) is true.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As +ve oxidation state increases, \(EN\) of element increases hence acidic character increases. Down the group, non-metallic character decreases, acidic character decreases. Acidic character : \(E _{2} O _{5}> E _{2} O _{3}\) Down the group, acidic character of \(E _{2} O _{3}\)…
