Ques. 1NEET (UG) 2026

Identify the incorrect statement from the following:

  1. Phosphorus, arsenic and antimony show catenation property.
  2. P(C2H5)3 and As(C6H5)3 form dπ–dπ bond with transition metals.
  3. Nitrogen can form dπ–pπ bond with oxygen.
  4. Nitrogen can form pπ–pπ multiple bonds with itself.

Answer

(3) Nitrogen can form dπ–pπ bond with oxygen.

Solution

As per NCERT (anomalous behaviour of nitrogen):

(4) Nitrogen forms pπ–pπ multiple bonds with itself (N≡N) — correct.

(2) Heavier elements can use d orbitals: P(C2H5)3 and As(C6H5)3 form dπ–dπ bonds with transition metals — correct.

(1) Phosphorus, arsenic and antimony show catenation (weaker than carbon) — correct.

(3) Nitrogen has no d orbitals in its valence shell (n = 2), so it cannot form dπ–pπ bonds with oxygen — incorrect.

Answer: (3)
