Question

$I$. Nitrogen ($N_2$) reacts with oxygen ($O_2$), the compound ${NO}_2$ can be formed as a product.
$II$. Nitrogen atoms donate four electrons to form $N^{4+}$ ions and oxygen atoms gain two electrons to form $O^{2-}$ ions when nitrogen and oxygen form an ionic bond.

• A. Statement $I$ is true, Statement $II$ is true
• B. Statement $I$ is true, Statement $II$ is false
• C. Statement $I$ is false, Statement $II$ is true
• D. Statement $I$ is false, Statement $II$ is false

Answer 1

The correct option is B Statement $I$ is true, Statement $II$ is false

$N2$ + $2O_2$ --> 2 $N{O}_2$

Two covalent bonds are present between N and O. There is also a coordinate bond between N and the other oxygen atom.The odd electron may be on N or O depending on the type of Resonating structure. so statement two is false
