Question:

Match List I with List II: 

List I

Oxide

List II

Type of Bond

A. \(N_2O_4\) I. \(N=O\) bond
B. \(NO_2\) II. \(N-O-N\) bond
C. \(N_2O_5\) III. \(N-N\) bond
D. \(N_2O\) IV. \(N=N / N≡N\) bond

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options:

A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV

A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV

A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II

A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I

Correct Answer:

A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2. A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV.

List I

Oxide

List II

Type of Bond

A. \(N_2O_4\) III. \(N-N\) bond
B. \(NO_2\) I. \(N=O\) bond
C. \(N_2O_5\) II. \(N-O-N\) bond
D. \(N_2O\) IV. \(N=N / N≡N\) bond

Here is the breakdown of the correct matching:

A-III: Dinitrogen tetroxide (N₂O₄) has two N-O-N bonds (single bonds between two nitrogen atoms and a single bond to oxygen).

B-I: Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) has a single N=O bond (double bond between nitrogen and oxygen).

C-II: Dinitrogen pentoxide (N₂O₅) has both N-O-N bonds and a single N-O-N bond connected to an N=O bond in a specific configuration.

D-IV: Nitrous oxide (N₂O) has a single N-N bond and a single N=O bond.
