Show answer and solution
Sol. All the elements of group 15 form hydrides of EH₃ type. Nitrogen forms ammonia (NH₃) while Arsenic forms Arsine (AsH₃)
All the elements of group 15 form two types of oxides : E₂O₃ and E₂O₅
Antimony forms antimony pentoxide Sb₂O₅
Hence, statement I is correct and statement II is incorrect
All the elements of group 15 form two types of oxides : E₂O₃ and E₂O₅
Antimony forms antimony pentoxide Sb₂O₅
Hence, statement I is correct and statement II is incorrect
