MCQ
Given below are two statements :

Statement $(I)$ : The oxidation state of an element in a particular compound is the charge acquired by its atom on the basis of electron gain enthalpy consideration from other atoms in the molecule.

Statement $(II)$ : $\mathrm{p} \pi-\mathrm{p} \pi$ bond formation is more prevalent in second period elements over other periods.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

  • A
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are incorrect
  • B
    Statement $I$ is correct but Statement $II$ is incorrect
