Assertion (A): SF6 cannot be hydrolysed but SF4 can be.
Reason (R): Six F atoms in SF6 prevent the attack of H2O on sulphur atom of SF6.
(a) SF6 is sterically protected due to presence of six F atoms around S which prevents the attack of H2O on SF6.
Match the formulas of oxides given in Column I with the type of oxide given in Column II and mark the correct option.
Match the compounds given in Column I with the hybridization and shape given in Column II and mark the correct option.
Write balanced equations for the following:
(i) NaCl is heated witlrsulphuric acid in the presence of MnO2
(ii) Chlorine gas is passed into a solution of Nal in water.
What are the oxidation states of phosphorus in the following: –
(i) H3PO3 (ii)PCl3
(iii) Ca3P2(iv)Na3PO4
(v) POF3
Write a balanced chemical equation, for the reaction showing catalytic oxidation of NH3 by atmospheric oxygen.
Assertion (A): Both rhombic and monoclinic sulphur exist as S8 but oxygen exists as OÏ€.
Reason (R): Oxygen forms pπ-pπ multiple bond due to small size and small bond length but pπ-pπ bonding is not possible in sulphur.

How is nitrogen prepared in the laboratory? Write the chemical equations of the reactions . involved.
The HNH angle value is higher than HPH, H AsH and HSbH angles. Why?
(Hint: Can be explained on the basis of sp3 hybridisation in NH3 and only s-p bonding , between hydrogen and other elements of the group).
Explain why inspite of nearly the same electronegativity, nitrogen forms hydrogen bonding while chlorine does not.
