Pick out the incorrect statement

Question

Pick out the incorrect statement (A) Red phosphorus consists of a complex chain structure and black phosphorus has a layer structure (B) Nitrogen shows a little tendency for catenation, because N - N single bond is very strong (C) The maximum number of covalent bonds formed by nitrogen is four, since it has no d-orbitals in its valence shell (D) The group 15 elements do not form M+5 ions, but +5 oxidation state is realized only through covalent bonding

Catenation propto 1/size N has more catenation tendency due to is small size. Sb and Si doesn’t have catenation tendency.

Q. Pick out the incorrect statement

Red phosphorus consists of a complex chain structure and black phosphorus has a layer structure

Nitrogen shows a little tendency for catenation, because $N - N$ single bond is very strong

The maximum number of covalent bonds formed by nitrogen is four, since it has no $d$ -orbitals in its valence shell

The group $15$ elements do not form $M^{+ 5}$ ions, but $+ 5$ oxidation state is realized only through covalent bonding

Catenation $\propto 1/$ size
$N$ has more catenation tendency due to is small size. $S b$ and $S i$ doesn’t have catenation tendency.
