Question

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

TestHub · Accepted Answer

In oxide of nitrogen it can achieve +5 oxidation state because it can form $p π - p π$ 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
$X = halide$
