In oxide of nitrogen it can achieve +5 oxidation state because it can form pπ−pπ bond with oxygen e.g. N2O5
Nitrogen cannot form halide in +5 oxidation state because it does not contain d-orbital.
e.g. NX5 does not exist
X= halide
Given below are two statements :
Statement I : Nitrogen forms oxides with +1 to +5 oxidation states due to the formation of pπ−pπ bond with oxygen.
Statement II : Nitrogen does not form halides with +5 oxidation state due to the absence of d-orbital in it.
In the light of given statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

First and second ionization enthalpies of lithium are $520$ kJ mol$^{-1}$ and $7297$ kJ mol$^{-1}$ respectively. Energy required to convert $3.5$ mg lithium (g) into $\text{Li}^{2+}$(g) $[\text{Li(g)} \rightarrow \text{Li}^{2+}\text{(g)}]$ is _______ kJ mol$^{-1}$. (nearest integer) [Molar mass of Li $= 7$ g mol$^{-1}$]
