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.
