Question
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 :

Answer

d
Oxidation state of an element in a particular compound is defined by the charge acquired by its atom on the basis of electronegativity consideration from other atoms in molecule.
