Question

Select the correct statement for the given set of species.

N₂O₅, SO₄²⁻, NH₃, H₃O⁺, SO₃, CO₂, H₂O, SCl₂, S₂O₃²⁻, P₂O₈⁴⁻, S₄O₆²⁻, N₃⁻, N₂O, Mn₂O₇, CrO₃

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Statement A is correct because there are exactly five species (S₂O₃²⁻, S₄O₆²⁻, N₃⁻, N₂O, and solid N₂O₅) containing atoms of the same element in two different oxidation states.

Statement B is correct because H₂O and SCl₂ are the only two species with an sp³-hybridized central atom that have a bent (planar) geometry.

Statement C is incorrect because there are more than three species with two tetrahedral units sharing a common vertex (such as P₂O₇⁴⁻, Mn₂O₇, and S₂O₇²⁻ structures).

Statement D is incorrect as it doesn't match the structural bonding connectivity of the given peroxo/oxy-bridge species.
