Given below are two statements:
Statement I : The identification of Ni2+ is carried out by dimethyl glyoxime in the presence of NH4OH.

Statement II :The dimethyl glyoxime is a bidentate neutral ligand.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
  2. Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
  3. Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
  4. Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
