The incorrect statement among the following is _______.
- A \(\mathrm{PH}_3\) shows lower proton affinity than \(\mathrm{NH}_3\).
- B \(\mathrm{SO}_2\) can act as an oxidizing agent, but not as a reducing agent.
- C \(\mathrm{PF}_3\) exists but \(\mathrm{NF}_5\) does not.
- D \(\mathrm{NO}_2\) can dimerise easily.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\mathrm{SO}_2\) can act as an oxidizing agent, but not as a reducing agent.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\stackrel{+4}{\mathrm{SO}_2}\) can acts as both oxidising agent as well reducing agents because due to intermediate oxidation state, it can oxidise and reduce as well.
