Understanding +4 | -1

Statement I The stability of +5 oxidation state decreases and that of +3 state increases down the group-15.

Statement II Inert pair effect is more prone in case of heavier members of

p

-block.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

Statement I and Statement II are correct and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I.

Option A (Statement I and Statement II are correct and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I) is correct because the inert pair effect, which is more pronounced in heavier p-block elements, causes the stability of the +5 oxidation state to decrease and the +3 state to increase down Group 15.
