The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the properties of the non-metal M based on the compounds it forms and the information given. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Compounds and Their Formulas**: - The non-metal M forms the following compounds: - \( MCl_3 \) - \( M_2O_5 \) - \( Mg_3M_2 \) - It does not form \( MI_5 \). 2. **Determine the Oxidation States**: - For \( MCl_3 \): - Let the oxidation state of M be \( x \). - The equation is: \( x + 3(-1) = 0 \) (since Cl has a -1 charge). - Solving gives: \( x = +3 \). - For \( M_2O_5 \): - Let the oxidation state of M be \( x \). - The equation is: \( 2x + 5(-2) = 0 \) (since O has a -2 charge). - Solving gives: \( 2x - 10 = 0 \) → \( x = +5 \). - For \( Mg_3M_2 \): - Let the oxidation state of M be \( x \). - The equation is: \( 3(+2) + 2x = 0 \) (since Mg has a +2 charge). - Solving gives: \( 6 + 2x = 0 \) → \( 2x = -6 \) → \( x = -3 \). 3. **Summary of Oxidation States**: - The oxidation states of M are \( +3, +5, \) and \( -3 \). - This indicates that M can exhibit a range of oxidation states from \( -3 \) to \( +5 \). 4. **Analyze the Non-Metal M**: - Since M forms \( MCl_3 \) and \( M_2O_5 \), it is likely a non-metal that can form multiple bonds. - The fact that it does not form \( MI_5 \) suggests that it cannot expand its valence shell to accommodate five bonds, indicating that M is likely a second-period element (like nitrogen) which lacks d-orbitals. 5. **Identify the Incorrect Statement**: - The options provided likely include statements about M's ability to form multiple bonds, its atomicity, its period, and its oxidation states. - Since we established that M is likely nitrogen, we know: - Nitrogen can form multiple bonds (correct). - Nitrogen is a second-period element (correct). - The atomicity of nitrogen is 2 (incorrect statement if it states atomicity is 4). - The oxidation states range from -3 to +5 (correct). 6. **Conclusion**: - The incorrect statement regarding non-metal M is that "the atomicity of non-metal is 4". The correct atomicity of nitrogen is 2. ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement regarding non-metal M is that "the atomicity of non-metal is 4".

To solve the question, we need to analyze the properties of the non-metal M based on the compounds it forms and the information given. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Compounds and Their Formulas**: - The non-metal M forms the following compounds: - \( MCl_3 \) - \( M_2O_5 \) ...
