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 :
Options
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are correct
- BBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
- CStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
- DStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
Correct answer
C. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
Step-by-step solution
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.
