Consider the following statements.
Statement I Thermal decomposition of
produces ammonia
gas.
Statement II The pentavalent oxide of group- 15 element
is less acidic than trivalent oxide
of the same element.
In light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsB
Statement I is incorrect but statement II is correct. Thermal decomposition of
produces nitrogen gas.

As, positive oxidation state increase, acidic character increases.
Pentavalent oxide,
has +5 oxidation state.
Trivalent oxide,
has +3 oxidation state.
So, acidic character,
.
