Statement-1: exist but does not exist.
Statement-2 : 'P' can form five bond by expanding its octet while 'N' can not expand its octet to form five bonds.
Options:
Answer:
D
Solution:
Statement-1 is false because NOF₃ exists. Statement-2 is true; P can expand its octet using available d-orbitals, forming five bonds (e.g., in POF₃), whereas N lacks d-orbitals and cannot expand its octet beyond four bonds. Therefore, Statement-1 is false, and Statement-2 is true.
