Given below are two statements : Statement I : Nitrogen forms...

Given below are two statements :
Statement I : Nitrogen forms oxides with +1 to +5 oxidation states due to the formation of pπ−pπ\mathrm{p} \pi-\mathrm{p} \pi bond with oxygen.
Statement II : Nitrogen does not form halides with +5 oxidation state due to the absence of d-orbital in it.
In the light of given statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.Given below are two statements : Statement I : Nitrogen forms oxides with +1 to +5 oxidation states due to the

Options

  1. AStatement I is true but Statement II is false
  2. BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
  3. CStatement I is false but Statement II is true
  4. DBoth Statement I and Statement II are true

Correct answer

D. Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Step-by-step solution

In oxide of nitrogen it can achieve +5 oxidation state because it can form pπ−pπ\mathrm{p} \pi-\mathrm{p} \pi bond with oxygen e.g. N2\mathrm{N}_2O5\mathrm{O}_5<br/><imgsrc="https://cdn−question−pool.getmarks.app/pyq/jeemain/AK4reuCE3mIU0N7yTJN2Kab3NXoaF0ZjS8Hy5EiAPQ.original.fullsize.png"/><br/>Nitrogencannotformhalidein+5oxidationstatebecauseitdoesnotcontaind−orbital.<br/>e.g.<br /><img src="https://cdn-question-pool.Quantrex.app/pyq/jee_main/AK4reuCE3mIU0N7yTJN2Kab3NXoaF0_ZjS8Hy5EiAPQ.original.fullsize.png"/><br />Nitrogen cannot form halide in +5 oxidation state because it does not contain d-orbital.<br />e.g.NX5\mathrm{NX}_5doesnotexist<br/>does not exist<br />X=\mathrm{X}= halide \text{ halide }
