NEET Chemistry QUESTION #1077
Question 1
Statement I: Like nitrogen that can form ammonia, arsenic can form arsine. Statement II: Antimony cannot form antimony pentoxide.
  • Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect✔️
  • Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
  • Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
  • Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
Correct Answer Explanation
Statement I is correct — arsenic (As) is in Group 15 like nitrogen and can form AsH\(_3\) (arsine), analogous to NH\(_3\). Statement II is incorrect — antimony CAN form Sb\(_2\)O\(_5\) (antimony pentoxide), as higher oxidation states are accessible for heavier p-block elements.
