Q. Statement 1: Hydroxylamine $\left( NH _2 OH \right)$ contains $N$, and hence gives Prussian blue colour in Lassaigne's test
Statement 2: Hydroxylamine does not contain $C$, so with Na metal, $CN ^{\ominus}$ ion is not formed

Organic Chemistry – Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Solution:

(A) is wrong. It does not give positive test for $N$, since it does not contain C. So $CN ^{\ominus}$ ion is not obtained which is anessential condition for the test for N. But (R) is correct
