The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The correct option is(A): 1 and 2.

Only \(\left( NH _{4}\right)_{2} Cr _{2} O _{7}\) and \(NH _{4} NO _{2}\) give \(N _{2}\) on 

heating. 

(i) \(\left( NH _{4}\right)_{2} Cr _{2} O _{7} \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} Cr _{2} O _{3}+4 H _{2} O + N _{2}\) 

(ii) \({NH4NO2 ->[\text{Thermal decomposition}][{\Delta}] 2 H_2O +N2}\)

P-Block Elements

  • P block elements are those in which the last electron enters any of the three p-orbitals of their respective shells. Since a p-subshell has three degenerate p-orbitals each of which can accommodate two electrons, therefore in all there are six groups of p-block elements.
  • P block elements are shiny and usually a good conductor of electricity and heat as they have a tendency to lose an electron. You will find some amazing properties of elements in a P-block element like gallium. It’s a metal that can melt in the palm of your hand. Silicon is also one of the most important metalloids of the p-block group as it is an important component of glass.

P block elements consist of:
