The incorrect statement among the following is /are
- does not exist while does
- prefers to form tetravalent compounds
- The three bonds are equal in the ion
- Both and are paramagnetic
Solution
does not exist while does because nitrogen does not have vacant orbitals while phosphorous contains orbitals.
shows the inert pair effect, due to this most of the lead compounds are divalent not tetravalent.
All the bonds of are equal due to resonance effect.
Both and are paramagnetic due to the presence of unpaired electrons in their molecular orbitals.
Hence, option is not correct
