Question 1 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

The I. E. of group 15 is much larger than that of group 14 because of

  1. the smaller size
  2. the half filled p - orbitals
  3. high electronegativity
  4. none of the above
Question 2 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

In the fifteenth group of the periodic table, there is a considerable increase in the covalent radius from N to P, but from As to Bi, there is only a small increase. The reason is

  1. shielding effect
  2. completely filled d and f orbitals in heavier members
  3. ionisation energy
  4. electronegativity
Question 3 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

Out of all the elements of group15, only nitrogen can form multiple bonds due to

  1. non-avalibility of d - orbital
  2. half filled p - orbitals
  3. the smallest size among all members
  4. the lowest electronegativity
Question 4 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

Nitrogen does not show covalency greater than four because

  1. of tetrahedral structure
  2. of half filled p - orbitals
  3. there are four unpaired electrons in the valence cell
  4. of non-avalibility of d - orbitals
Question 5 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

In group 15, the stability of +3 oxidation state increases down the group due to

  1. inert pair effect
  2. low shielding
  3. half filled p - orbital
  4. presence of d - orbital
Question 6 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

Which of following reasons is not responsible for anomalous properties of nitrogen?

  1. Diagonal relationship
  2. Smaller size
  3. Non-avalibility of d-electrons
  4. High ionisation enthanlpy
Question 7 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

The heavier elements of group 15 do not form multiple bonds because of

  1. high lonisation enthalpies
  2. low lonisation enthalpies
  3. lack of effective overlapping
  4. avalibility of d - orbitals
Question 8 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)
