Q-1. Nitrogen exist as N2 gas while phosphorus as P4? OR
Oxygen as O2 gas while sulfur as S8 solid.
Ans. Due to the formation of p pi-p pi bond in earlier not in later.
Q- 2.NH3 liquid while PH3 gas? Or
H2O liquid while H2S gas? or
H2O is less volatile than H2S? Or
B.P. of water is higher than other hydrides, or H2O is liquid and H2S is gas? or
Sulphuric acid is highly viscous?
Ans. Due to H- bonding
Q-3. NH3 to BiH3 Or Stability of the hydrides of 15th group elements decreases down the group?
or
H2Te is more acidic than H2S? Or
Acidic nature increase from H2S to H2Te?
Ans. Due decrease in bond dissociation energy from NH3 to BiH3
Q-4. Bond angle decreases from NH3 to BiH3?or
Bond angle decreases from H2O to H2Te?
Ans. Due to increasing of size of orbital forming lone pair, which causes more repulsion to bond pairs.
Q- 5.Bond dissociation energy decreases from NH3to BiH3
Ans. Due to increase of size.
Q-6.Bond angle in NH4+ is more than in NH3? or
PH4+ bond angle is more than in PH3?
Ans. There are three bond pairs and one lone pair of electron in ammonia/ phosphine while in NH4+/
PH4+ all are bond pairs of electron.
Q- 7.Nitrogen dose not form penta halides, phosphorous forms? or
PCl5 exists but NCl5 does not?
Ans. Due to lack of d orbital, N cannot extend its covalency beyond four.
Q- 8 Are all the five bonds in PCl5 equivalent?
Ans. Three bonds are equatorial and two bonds are axial, thus they are unequal.
Q-9. H3PO2, H3PO3 are reducing while H3PO4 not?
Ans. Due to absence of P-H bonds in H3PO4
Q-10. SF6 is well known compound why?
Ans. Due to steric reasons.
Q-11. SF6 is well known while SH6 not?
Ans. F can promote electrons from s and p to d- orbitals, hydrogen cannot do so.
Q-12. First ionization energy of 16th group elements lower than groyp 15 elements?
Ans. It is dueto the presence of half filled p subshell in case of 15th group.
Q-13 N2 is very less reactive. Why?
Ans. Due to the presence of triple bond in N2 molecule.
Q-15. Why dose PCl3/ PCl5 fumes in moisture ?
Ans. Due to the formation of HCl on reaction with moisture.
Q-16. How do you prepare DCl from PCl5 ? OR
write a balanced equation for the hydrolytic reaction of PCl5 in heavy water ?
Ans.PCl5 + D2O ------- POCl3 + 2DCl
Q-17. Write the equation of preparation of nitric acid by OSTWALD Process.
Ans.4NH3 + 5O2 ---- 4NO + 6H2O
2NO + O2 ----- 2NO2
3NO2 +3H 2 O -- 2HNO 3 + NO
Q-18. Nitric acid acts as oxidizing agent while nitrous acts as both oxidising and reducing agent
why? or
Nitric acid is oxidant not reductant ?
Ans. In nitric acid nitrogen has its maximum oxidation states +5.
Q- 19.Vapour sulfur is paramagnetic in nature?
Ans. Due to the presence of two unpaired electrons in antibonding p- orbitals.
Q-20. Bleaching action of sulfur dioxide is temporary while of chlorine is permanent?
Ans. Since the bleaching action sulfur dioxide is due to reduction so bleached object will regain their
colour when exposed to oxidation.
Q-21. Electron gain enthalpy of chlorine is more negative than fluorine why?
Ans. Due small size of fluorine has more repulsion for the incoming electron.
