SECTION A (OBJECTIVE TYPE)

1. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: (1x4)

Group 15 elements consist of N, P, As, Sb, Bi and Mc (Moscovium) with general

electronic configuration ns2np3 and oxidation states +3 and +5. Nitrogen
differs from rest of the elements. Phosphorus show allotropy and is more
reactive than Nitrogen. Hydrides of group 15 elements show variation in
bond angle, boiling point, basic character, stability and reducing character.
Oxides of group 15 elements show decrease in acidic character and more
increase in basic character. Nitrogen forms large number of oxides. Halides
of group 15 elements are mostly covalent. Oxygen is gas where as other
elements of group 16 are solids. Oxygen shows anomalous behaviour.
Oxygen is diatomic where is sulphur exists as S8 which has crown shaped
structure. It shows allotropy. Sulphur is present in onion and garlic that is
why they have pungent smell. Sulphur is used for manufacture of sulphuric
acid which is called ‘King of chemicals’, used in fertilizer, detergents,dyes
and drugs. Noble gases have low boiling points due to weak van der Waals’
 forces of attraction. Xenon forms XeF2, XeF4, XeF6, XeOF4, XeO3,
XeO2F2, their structures can be drawn on bases of VSEPR theory.

i) . The boiling points of hydrides of group 16 are in the order

(a) H2O > H2Te > H2S > H2Se
(b) H2O > H2S > H2Se > H2Te
(c) H2O > H2Te > H2Se > H2S
(d) None of these
ii)  Fluorine differs from rest of the halogens in some of its properties.
This is due to
(a) its smaller size and high electronegativity.
(b) lack of d-orbitals.
(c) low bond dissociation energy.
(d) All of the these
iii)  Partial hydrolysis of XeF4 gives
(a) XeO3
(b) XeOF2
(c) XeOF4
(d) XeF2
Or
The increasing order of reducing power of the halogen acids is
(a) HF < HCl < HBr < HI
(b) HI < HBr < HCl < HF
(c) HBr < HCl < HF < HI
(d) HCl < HBr < HF < HI

iv) Which of the following is the strongest oxidising agent?

(b) Cl2
(c) l2
(d) Br2

2. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
(1x4=4)
 Amines are classified as primary, secondary and tertiary amines. Primary
amines cannot be obtained by ammonolysis of alkyl halide because we will
get mixture of 1°, 2° and 3° amines. Cyanides, on reduction give primary
amines where as isocyanides on reduction give secondary amines. Nitro
compounds, on reduction also give primary amines. Primary amines react
with CHCl3 and KOH to form foul smelling isocyanide. They react with
HNO2 and liberate N2 gas. They react with Hinsberg’s reagent to form salt
soluble in KOH. Secondary amine form yellow oily compounds with HNO2
and salt formed with C6H5SO2Cl, is insoluble in KOH. 3° amines form salt
soluble in water with HNO2 but does not react with C6H5SO2Cl.
Diazonium salts are prepared by reaction of Aniline with NaNO2 and conc.
HCl at 0 – 5 °C. Aromatic diazonium salts are more stable because phenyl
diazonium ion is stabilized by resonance. Benzene diazonium chloride can
be used to prepare halo benzene, phenol, nitro benzene, benzene, p-hydroxy
azo benzene (azo dye) and large number of useful compounds.
