Given below are two statements : Statement I : Nitrogen forms oxides with +1 to +5 oxidation states due to the formation of p - p 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.

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 p - p bond with oxygen e.g. N ₂ O ₅ Nitrogen cannot form halide in +5 oxidation state because it does not contain d-orbital. e.g. NX ₅ does not exist X = halide
