Given below are two statements
Statement I : The N-N single bond is weaker and longer than that of $\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{P}$ single bond
Statement II : Compounds of group 15 elements in +3 oxidation states readily undergo disproportionation reactions.
In the light of above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

Question

Given below are two statements
Statement I : The N-N single bond is weaker and longer than that of

\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{P}

single bond
Statement II : Compounds of group 15 elements in +3 oxidation states readily undergo disproportionation reactions.
In the light of above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

Quantrex Academy · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. Both statement I and statement II are false

N - N single bond weaker than P - P due to more p- p repulsion. Bond length d_ p-p d_ N-N (size , B.L. ) In group 15 elements only N \& P show disproportionation in +3 oxidation state, As, Sb \& Bi have almost inert for disproportionation in +3 oxidation state. So both statements are false.
