Explanation

(a)     (F); As the size of halogen atom increases crowding on Si atom will

          increase, hence, tendency of attack of Lewis base decreases.

(b)     (T); M.P. of NH3 is higgest due to intermolecular H-bonding in it.

          Next lower M.P. will be of SbH3 followed by AsH3 due to high mol.wt.

          of SbH3.

(c)      (F); M.P. and M.P. of increase from PH3 to SbH3 via AsH3 due to 

          increase  in mol. wt. NH3 does not follow this trend due to inter 

          molecular H-bonding.

(d)      (T); Value of bond moment decreases.

           

           

 

A non-metal M forms MCl3, M2O5 and Mg3M2 but does not form MI5. Then incorrect statement regarding non-metal M is:

Explanation

(c)    M exhibits two oxidation states +3 and +5 but covalency can not be 5;

        hence M can not expand its valence shell. Therefore, M will be nitrogen 

        having atomicity two.  

      

Consider the oxy acids HCIOn series, here value of n is 1 to 4. Then incorrect statement regarding these oxy acids is :

(c)

 ClO-B.O.=1.0Hyb. of Cl : sp3+I                ClO2-B.O.=1.5Hyb. of Cl : sp3+III                   ClO3-B.O.=1.67   Hyb. of Cl : sp3+V                   ClO4-B.O.=1.75    Hyb. of Cl : sp3+VII

The three elements X, Y and Z with electronic configuration shown below all form hydrides :

            Element                                     Electronic configuration      X                                                  1s22s22p2      Y                                                  1s22s22p63s1       Z                                                   1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p5

Which set of properties match correctly with properties of the hydrides of these elements :

     Hydride of X                                      Hydride of Y                                   Hydride of Z

(a)     X=CH4, Y=NaH, Z=HBr

Select the correct statement about elements of group 15th.

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

(D) (A) This is due to the inert pair effect in the heavier p-block elements.

      (B) 3HNO2HNO3+H2O+2NO

      (C) This is due to the presence of completely filled d and l or f orbitals in heavier elements.                    Covalent radius l pm; N =70, P =110, As =120, Bi =150.

Which of the following oxide is most acidic

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

The acidity decrease in the order SO> P2O> Al2O> Na2O. The Al2Ois atmospheric, Na2O is basic.

 

Which among the following is least acidic

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

The acidic strength of oxides decreases on moving down the group.Moreover, pentoxides are more acidic than trioxides. As the atomic no. of an element in 15 group increases, the acidic character decreases.

So,  P4O10 > As4O6 and P4O10 > As4O10 . Due to increase in O.N. of an element acidic nature increases.Thus decreasing order of acidic strength is P4O10 > P4O6  > As4O10 > As4O6 

 

Point out the incorrect statement among the following :
