Why does nitrogen show catenation properties less than phosphorus?
The extent of catenation depends upon the strength of the element – element bond. The N – N bond strength (159 kJ mol-1 ) is weaker than P – P bond strength (213 kJ mol-1 ). Thus, nitrogen shows less catenation properties than phosphorus.
Name three oxoacids of nitrogen. Write the disproportionation reaction of that oxoacid of nitrogen in which nitrogen is in +3 oxidation state.
Explain why inspite of nearly the same electronegativity, nitrogen forms hydrogen bonding while chlorine does not.
Why is BiH3 the strongest reducing agent amongst all the hydrides of group 15 elements? (C.B.S.E. 2013)
Justify the placement of O, S, Se, Te and Po in the same group’of the periodic table in terms of electronic configuration, oxidation state and hydride formation.
In the preparation of H2S06 by contact process, why is S03 not absorbed directly in water to form H2S04?
Explain why does the stability of oxoacids of chlorine increase in the order given below:
HClO < HClO2 < HClO3 < HClO4
Match the compounds given in Column I with the hybridization and shape given in Column II and mark the correct option.
Assertion (A): HNO3 makes from passive.
Reason (R): HNO3 forms a protective layer of ferric nitrate on the surface of iron.
