Regarding the wrong statement is :
Regarding \( N_{2} O, \) the wrong statement is :
- A. It is called laughing gas
- B. It is called nitrous oxide
- C. It is a linear molecule
- D. It is a more reactive oxide
Step-by-step solution
N2O (nitrous oxide) is relatively inert and stable at room temperature, not highly reactive. Statements A, B, and C are correct: it is called laughing gas, nitrous oxide, and has a linear molecular structure (N≡N-O). Therefore, D is the wrong statement.
