| Statement I: | The pentavalent oxide of group \(15\) element, \(\mathrm{E_2O_5,}\) is less acidic than the trivalent oxide, \(\mathrm{E_2O_3,}\) of the same element. |
| Statement II: | The acidic character of trivalent oxide of group \(15\) elements, \(\mathrm{E_2O_3,}\) decreases down the group. |

| Assertion (A): | \(\mathrm{NH}_3\) is more polar than \(\mathrm{NF}_3 .\) |
| Reason (R): | The N – H dipole is directed towards N while in the case of \(\mathrm{NF}_3 \), towards F, as F is more electronegative. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation for (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation for (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | (A) is False but (R) is True |
| Statement I: | Chlorine easily forms oxides and the compounds are explosive. |
