Answer ::

Ferrous oxide is more basic in nature than ferric oxide. Ferrous compounds are less volatile since the ferrous compounds are more ionic. Ferrous compounds are relatively more ionic than the corresponding ferric compounds. Ferric compounds are less volatile than the corresponding ferrous compounds. So the statement (1) is incorrect.
Hence option (1) is the answer.


Thanks
