A non-metal M forms MCl(3),M(2)O(5) and ...

A non-metal M forms `MCl_(3),M_(2)O_(5) and Mg_(3)M_(2)` but does not form `MI_(5)`, then incorrect statement regarding non-metal M is

A

M can form mutiple bond

B

M is of second period element

C

Atomicity of non-metal is 4

D

The range of oxidation number for M is -3 to +5

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
M exhibits two oxidation states +3 and +5 but covalency can not be 5, hence M can not expand its valence shell. Therefore, M will be nitrogenn having atomicity two.
