Which of the following can be hydrolysed?

  1. $TeF _6$

  2. $NCl _3$

  3. $SF _6$

  4. Both $1$ & $2$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$TeF _6$ canbe easily hydrolysed because of large size of Te central atom and low electronegativity the bond polarity of this bond is more .so, it is more reactive than other compounds like $SF _6$

$TeF _6+6H _2O\longrightarrow H _6TeO _6+6HF$

Which of the following is least stable?

  1. $Tl{I} _{3}$

  2. $Tl{F} _{3}$

  3. $Pb{F} _{4}$

  4. $Pb{I} _{4}$


Correct Option: D

Which is the correct order of decreasing basicity of halide ions?

  1. ${I}^{-1}> {Br}^{-}> {Cl}^{-}> {F}^{-}$

  2. ${F}^{-}> {Cl} _{-}> {Br}^{-}> {I}^{-}$

  3. ${Cl}^{-}> {Br}^{-}> {I}^{-}> {F}^{-}$

  4. ${F}^{-}> {Cl} _{-}> {I}^{-}> {Br}^{-}$


Correct Option: A,B

Which gas use in cooling tube in MRI tube ?

  1. He

  2. Ar

  3. $CO _2$

  4. $N _2$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

He gas use as colling agent in super conducting magne

$PbI _4$ does not exist because :

  1. iodine is not a reactive

  2. $Pb(IV)$ is oxidizing and $I^-$ is strong reducing agent

  3. $Pb(IV)$ is less stable than $Pb(II)$

  4. $Pb^{4+}$ is not easily formed


Correct Option: C

Halogens have:

  1. high ionisation energies

  2. high electronegativities

  3. high electron affinities

  4. All the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Halogens have high ionisation energies, high electronegativities and high electron affilities due to their smallest size in a particular period. As size decreases ionisation energy, elctronegativity and electron affinity increaes

Iodine is more soluble in aqueous solution of Kl because it forms soluble :

  1. $\mathrm{K}\mathrm{I} _{2}$

  2. $\mathrm{K}\mathrm{I} _{3}$

  3. $\mathrm{K}\mathrm{I} _{4}$

  4. $\mathrm{K} _{2}I _{2}$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$KI+I _2\rightarrow KI _3$ soluble 
$\therefore $ Iodine is more soluble in KI (aq)

Iodine dissolves in aqueous Kl due to the formation of:

  1. $I^{-}$

  2. $ I _{2}^{-}$

  3. $ I _{3}^{-}$

  4. $I _{4}^{-}$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$KI\ (aq)\rightarrow K^{(+)}+I^-$

$I _2+I^-\rightarrow I _3 ^-$
$\therefore$ Iodine dissolves in KI (aq) due to the formation of $I _{3}^{-}$ ion.

In the reaction of $I _{2}$ with water, change in free energy is:

  1. negative

  2. positive

  3. zero

  4. Can't be predicted


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The reaction of $I _2$ with water is endothermic 
so, change in free energy is Positive.

_______ is the only member of the halogen family that has no stable isotopes.

  1. $\displaystyle F$

  2. $\displaystyle Cl$

  3. $\displaystyle Br$

  4. $\displaystyle I$

  5. $\displaystyle At$


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Astatine has many isotopes, all of which are radioactive in nature. Their half-lives are also very small. Hence, astatine has no stable isotopes.

Option $E$ is the correct answer.
