Multiple choice group 17 elements - trends in chemical properties group 17 elements - properties p- block elements-ii p-block elements chemistry

The incorrect order is :

  1. Thermal stability : $HF > HCl > HBr$
  2. Lewis basic character : $PF _3 < PCl _3 < PBr _3$
  3. $\%$ p-character : $NO^+ _2 > NO^- _3 > NH^+ _4$
  4. Bond angle : $NH _3 > PH _3 > AsH _3$

C Correct answer
Explanation

The percentage of s-character increases with the electronegativity of the central atom or the nature of the hybrid orbitals. For NO2+, NO3-, and NH4+, the hybridization and bond angles dictate the s/p character distribution, and the listed order is incorrect.

Correct order of volatility is:

  1. $HF > HCl > HBr > HI$
  2. $HCl > HBr > HI > HF$
  3. $HI > HBr > HCl > HF$
  4. $HBr < HCl < HI < HF$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Volatility depends on intermolecular interactions of a compound, as molecular weight increases so do the Vander wals forces. So the expected order should be: $HF < HCl<HBr<HI$ but we must remember HF has hydrogen bonding and the extent of Hydrogen bonding is very high because of high electonegativity of fluorine and linear bonding. Hence HF is least volatile. The correct order is $HCl>HBr>HI >HF$.

Bromine is formed when concentrated $HBr$ is heated with ?

  1. $KMn{O} _{4}$
  2. ${K} _{2}{Cr} _{2}{O} _{7}$
  3. $Mn{O} _{2}$
  4. $All\ of\ these$

A Correct answer
Explanation

When concentrated $HBr$ is heated with $KMnO _4$ then bromine is liberated.The reaction involved is $2KMnO _4+16HBr\longrightarrow 2MnBr _2=2KBr+8H _2O+5Br _2$

Which of the following is basic?

  1. ${ F } _{ 2 }$
  2. ${ Cl } _{ 2 }$
  3. ${ Br } _{ 2 }$
  4. ${ I } _{ 2 }$

D Correct answer
Explanation

Down the group, metallic nature increases. If metallic nature increases, basic nature increases. Among halogens, $I _2$ is at bottom and it has high metallic nature than other halogens. So, it is more basic.

Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?

  1. HF is a stronger acid than HCl

  2. Among Halide ions, iodide is the most powerful reducing agent

  3. Flourine is the only halogen that does NOT show a variable oxidation state

  4. HOCl is a stronger acid than HOBr
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

HF is actually a weak acid compared to other hydrogen halides due to strong hydrogen bonding and high bond dissociation enthalpy, making the statement that HF is stronger than HCl incorrect.

The most covalent halide is:

  1. $Al{F} _{3}$
  2. $Al{Cl} _{3}$
  3. $Al{Br} _{3}$
  4. $Al{I} _{3}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

According to Fajans rule larger the size of anion,more covalent will be the bond . So, according to this most covalent halide is iodide as because it is the least electronegative among all the halides,greater size of halide anion,so in a covalent compound it has the least polarising

The volatility of the Group $17$ elements, chlorine, bromine and iodine, decreases down the group. What is responsible for this?

  1. Bond length in the halogen molecule

  2. Bond strength in the halogen molecule

  3. Electronegativity of the halogen

  4. Number of electrons in the halogen molecule
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

$\text{The volatility of the Group 17 elements decrease down the group due to the increse the numnber of electrons.}$
