Which of the following statements are correct?
(a) Among halogens, radius ratio between iodine and fluorine is maximum.
(b) Leaving F – F bond, all halogens have weaker X – X bond than X – X’ bond in interhalogens.
(c) Among interhalogen compounds maximum number of atoms ate present in iodine fluoride.
(d) Interhalogen compounds are more reactive than halogen compounds.
(a, c, d) Among halogens radius ratio between iodine and fluorine is maximum because iodine has maximum radius while fluorine has minimum radius. Also, due to highest radius ratio maximum number of atoms are present in iodine fluoride.
Interhalogen compounds are more reactive than halogen compounds because A – B bond of dissimilar halogen is weaker than A – A or B – B bond of halogens.
Name three oxoacids of nitrogen. Write the disproportionation reaction of that oxoacid of nitrogen in which nitrogen is in +3 oxidation state.
Explain why does the stability of oxoacids of chlorine increase in the order given below:
HClO < HClO2 < HClO3 < HClO4
How is nitrogen prepared in the laboratory? Write the chemical equations of the reactions . involved.
Explain why inspite of nearly the same electronegativity, nitrogen forms hydrogen bonding while chlorine does not.
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.
Why is BiH3 the strongest reducing agent amongst all the hydrides of group 15 elements? (C.B.S.E. 2013)
Why does nitrogen show catenation properties less than phosphorus ? (C.B.S.E. Foreign 2009)
Why is BiH3 the strongest reducing agent amongst all the hydrides of Group 15 elements?
Phosphorus forms a number of oxoacids. Out of these oxoacids phosphinic acid has strong reducing property. Write its structure and also write a reaction showing its reducing behaviour.
What happens when white phosphorus is heated with concentrated NaOH solution in an inert atmosphere of CO2?

Write a balanced chemical equation, for the reaction showing catalytic oxidation of NH3 by atmospheric oxygen.
PCl5 reacts with finely divided silver on heating and a white silver salt is obtained, which dissolves on adding excess aqueous NH3 solution. Write the reactions involved to explain what happens.
An amorphous solid "A"bums in air to form a gas "B"which turns lime water milky. The gas is also produced as a by-product during roasting of sulphide ore. This gas decolourises acidified aqueous KMnO4 solution and reduces Fe3+ to Fe+2. Identify the solid "A"and the gas "B"and write 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).
