Which species has the largest dipole moment?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Option A is correct. NH₃ has the largest dipole moment because nitrogen is more electronegative than phosphorus, arsenic, and antimony, leading to a greater difference in electronegativity between N and H.

Statement I: Single bond is weaker than the single bond due to high interelectronic repulsion of the non-bonding electrons, owing to the small bond length.
Statement II: The catenation tendency is stronger in nitrogen as compared to phosphorus.
Statement II: The catenation tendency is stronger in nitrogen as compared to phosphorus.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Statement I and Statement II are correct but Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I.
Option B (Statement I and Statement II are correct but Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I) is correct because both statements are true, but the catenation tendency of nitrogen is weaker, not stronger, than that of phosphorus.

Assertion: Fluorine forms only one oxo acid .
Reason: Fluorine does not have - orbitals in its valence shell.
Reason: Fluorine does not have - orbitals in its valence shell.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Both assertion and reason are correct statements, and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
Option A (Both assertion and reason are correct statements, and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion) is correct because fluorine's inability to expand its octet due to the absence of d-orbitals limits it to forming only one oxoacid.
