Now, the following questions can be explained using the above mentioned
reasoning :
(i)
(ii)

Oxygen exists as O2 but sulphur as S8
...


Nitrogen forms N 2 but phosphorus forms P 4 at room
temperature
...


Due to small size and high electronegativity and presence of lone pair(s)
of electrons, elements N, O, F when bonded to hydrogen atom, forms
hydrogen bonds which are stronger than other intermolcular forces
...
p
...
p
...


Isostructural species have same number of bond pairs and lone pairs if present
around the central atom in a molecule/ion
...
For example,

ICl4 / XeF4, BrO3–/XeO3, BH4–/NH4+ are the pairs of isostructural species
...
This increased nuclear
charge holds the ns2 electrons of heavier elements strongly and the tendency of
ns2 electrons to take part in bonding is more and more restricted down the
group
...
Following questions can be explained with the help of inert
pair effect
...

Explain why?
(b) NaBiO3 is a strong oxidising agent
...

(c)

of + 4 oxidation increases down the group
...
Explain why?
(e) Why is BrO– a stronger oxidising agent than ClO– ?
4
4
[Hint : It is because + 7 oxidation state in less stable in BrO4– due
to which Br – O bond becomes weaker
...

[Hint : More effective nuclear charge in As than Sb
...
The two oxygen–oxygen
bond lengths are identical in the O3 molecule because it is resonance hybrid of
following two cannonical forms
...
This is because the third N–OH bond is not involved
in resonance
...

(i)

In SO2, the two sulphur-oxygen bonds are identical
...
Why?

Bond angle : In regular structures (where no lone pairs are present in the
valence shell of the central atom in a molecule/ion), the bond angle does not

...
This results in more bond pair-bond pair repulsion in NH3
molecule than PH3 molecule
...

Now the following questions can be explained using the above mentioned concept
...
Why?

(ii)

H–O–H bond in H2O in greater than H–S–H angle in H2S
...
More the molar mass, the higher is the m
...
and b
...
Hydrides
forming intermolecular hydrogen bonds have exceptionally high m
...
and b
...

since intermolecular hydrogen bonds are stronger than the van der Waals forces
...


(ii)

H2O is liquid and H2S is gas or H2S is more volatile than H2O
...
Due to the increase in size down the group, bond dissociation
enthalpy of E - H bond decreases
...

The following questions can be explained using the above concepts
...


(ii)

Among hydrogen halides, HI is the strongest reducing agent
...


(iv)

NH3 is mild reducing agent while BiH3 is the strongest reducing agent
among the group-15 hydrides
...


Basic nature of hydrides EH3 of group 15 elements
All the hydrides EH3 of group 15 elements has one lone pair of electrons
...

The sp3 hybrid orbital is directional and further N is more electronegtive than H,
the bond pair of N - H is shifted towards N atom which further increases the
electron density on N atom
...
As a result PH3 is less basic
than NH3 and basic character decreases down the group
...
(SiH3)3N has less Lewis basic nature than that of
(CH3)3N because lone pair of electrons in p - orbital of N atom in (SiH3)3N is
transferred to the vacant d - orbital of Si atom forming d – p fond
...
Compounds
having more ionic character have more m

and b

than the compounds having
more covalent character
...
Explain why :
(i)

SnCl2 has more b
...
than SnCl4
...


(iii)

PCl5 has lower boiling point than that of PCl3
...

Strength of oxoacids increases if the number of oxygen atoms bonded with E
increases
...
The more the electrongeativeity, stronger is the
oxoacid
...
This is because the stabilisation of the oxoanion
increases with the number of the oxygen atoms bonded to the halogen atom

d–and f–BLOCK ELEMENTS
Electronic Configuration of Transition Metals/Ions
The d-block element is called transition metal if it has partly filled
d-orbitals in the ground state as well as in its oxidised state
...

Exceptions in electronic configuration are due to (a) very little engery difference
between (n–1) d and ns orbitals and (b) extra stability of half filled and completely
f led orbi al i case of C r and C u in 3d series
...
For
example, the outer electronic configuration of Cu + , Cu 2+ and Cr 3+ are
respectively 3d10, 3d9 and 3d3

Metals of second (4d) and third (5d) transition series have greater
enthalpies of atomisation than corresponding elements of first transition series
on account of more frequent metal metal bonding due to greater spatial
extension of 4d and 5d orbitals than 3d orbitals
...
The filling of 4f orbitals before 5d orbitals results in the
gradual increase in effective nuclear charge resulting in a regular decrease in
atomic and ionic radii
...
The
corresponding members of second and third transition series have similar radii
because the normal size increase down the group of d-block elements almost
exactly balanced by the lanthanoid contraction
...

(i)

Elements in the’following pairs have identical (similar) radii : Zr/Hf, Nb/Ta
and Mo/W
...
There are some irregular
variations

Second ionization enthalpy of Zn (i H2 = 1734 kJ/mol) is lower than
second ionization enthalpy of Cu (1958 kJ/mol)

Cr = 3d5 4s1
Zn = 3d10 4s2; Zn2+ = 3d10
Cu = 3d10 4s1; Cu2+ = 3d9

(i)

Why is second ionization enthalphy of Cr (z = 24) more than that

Mn (z = 25) (Hint

(ii)

Since the sum of i H1 and i H2 generally increases with the increase in

the atomic number of the transition metal, therefore E M 2+ M value becomes less
and less negative
...
This

is because i H2 for Mn and Zn produces stable d5 configuration (Mn2+) and d10
configuration (Zn2+) are produced and therefore requirement of energy is less

Why?
Solution : La3+, Gd3+ and Lu3+ have stable configurations 4f0, 4f7 and 4f14
respectively
...
S
...

5f orbitals in actinoids are not as burried as 4f orbials in lanthanoids and hence
5f electrons can participate in bonding to a far greater extent
...
Since 5f orbitals are larger and more diffuse than 4f orbitals, their
penetration towards the inner core of electrons is less than the penetration of
4f elecrons
...
Consequently, effective nuclear charge in actinoids
increases at faster rate as compared with lanthanoids

Phenol gives H+ ion easily because it forms phenoxide ion
which is resonance stablized while alcohols does not provide
H+ ion readily, because alkoxide ion (RO–) is not stablised by
resonance, so phenol is more acidic than alcohols
...
It
stabilises the phenoxide ion by dispersing negative charge
...
Thus, o-nitrophenol is more acidic than
o-methoxyphenol
