Read the following statements regarding chemical reactivity of group 15 elements.

(i) Only compound of Bi{Bi} with +5 oxidation state is BiF5{BiF}_5.

(ii) Intermediate oxidation states for both nitrogen and phosphorus disproportionate in both acid and alkali.

(iii) Nitrogen due to absence of d-orbitals in its valence shell cannot form dπ{d} \pi-p π\pi bond as the heavier elements thus R3P=O{R}_3 {P}={O} exists but R3 N=O{R}_3 {~N}={O} does not exists.

(iv) BiH3{BiH}_3 is the strongest reducing agent amongst the hydrides of nitrogen family.

(v) P2O3{P}_2 {O}_3 is more acidic than P2O5{P}_2 {O}_5.

Which of the following is the correct code for the statements above?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
TFTTF
Option C (TFTTF) is correct because statements (i), (iii), and (iv) are true, while (ii) and (v) are false based on the chemical reactivity of group 15 elements.
