Question

3. The oxidation state that is not exhibited by VA
group elements
1) +1 2) +3
3)-3
4)+6​

Answer 1

Answer:

options a is a correct answer

Answer 2

The correct answer will be option D.

VA  group refers to the nitrogen family which is also known as  pnictogens.

The general electronic configuration  of the family is ns²np³.

So ,it can't show +6 oxidation state ,because the energy requirement to take out an electron from the inner orbitals will be very large.
