Unlike phosphorus, nitrogen show little tendeney for eatenation ?
Nitrogen has little tendency for catenation since N-N single bond is weak Phosphorus show maximum
tendency for catenation due to high P-P bond energy
Why N- N single bond is weaker than P- P single bond ?
This is due to the greater repulsion between non bonding electrons (2p) of nitrogen than those of
nonbonding electrons (3p) of phosphorus.
Bismuth is a strong oxidising agent in the pentavalent state.
Or Bi(V) isstrong oxidising agent than Sb (V)
Due to the inert pair effect +3 oxidation state of Bi is more stable than-+5
Why nitrogen show maximum tendency to form negative ions.
Nitrogen with greater electronegativity & small size has stronger tendency to form N* ion
Nitrogen exist as diatomic (N,)where as phosphorus exist as tetratomic (P,) explain.
Due to small size of Nitrogen atom, Itcan form px-px multiple bond with another atom but the size of
phosphorus atom is large so It can not form multiple bond
why molecular nitrogen is not reactive?
Due to the presence of triple bond, ts bond dissociation energy is very high and It has very low reactivity
Why the bond angle of NH, is greater than PH, ?
This is because nitrogen atom is more electronegative than phosphorus and due to which the bond pair in
NH, are more towards the nitrogen atom in N-H bond than the bond pair in P-H bond in PH, Therefore the
force of repulsion between the bond pairs is greater in NH, than PH,
Why NH, is more basic than PH,”
NH, is more basic than PH, due to the small size and high electronegativity of nitrogen due to which
electron density on nitrogen atom is maximum,
Why the boiling point of NH, is higher than PH, ?
The high boiling point of NH, is due to the presence intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
Why the dipolemoment of NH, is higher than PH,
Due to high electronegativity of Nitrogen than phosphorus, N-H bond is more polar than P-H bond

This is due to the absence of vaccant d-orbital in the valence shell of oxygen atom
Why +4 oxidation state of Po is more stable than +6?
Due to the inert pair effect.
Name the element in the oxygen family which show the maximum catenation property.
Sulphur atom show the maximum catenation property due to its high bond energy than oxygen
Oxygen exist as diatomic molecule and other elements exist as octa atomic explain,
This is because oxygen atom hasa tendency to form Pa—Pz multiple bond but due to the large size of
sulphurand other elements of this gp do not form stable multiple bonds.
Oxygen exist as gas while other elements of this gp are exist as solid,
This is because oxygen exist as diatomic molecules and weak vanderwall’s forces are present between the
oxygen molecules, It sexist in the gaseous form, other elements of tis gp. exist as octaatomic and strong
‘vanderwall’s forces present in polyatomic molecules these are exist as solid.

Why does sulphur in the vapour state exhibits paramagnetic behaviour ?
Inthe vapour state sulphur exist as S, molecule and S, molecue like O, has two unpaired electrons in the
antibonding 1" orbital and hence exhibits paramagnetism.
Why the bondangle in H,O is greater than HS?
This is because oxygen is more electronegative than sulphur duc to which bond pairs are very close to
oxygen atom in H.O than sulphur atom in H,S and due to which greater repulsion occurs between the
bond pairs in H,O than H,S and bond angle is increase
Why H,0 is a liquid while H,Sis a gas
Due to small size and high electronegativity of oxygen. Hydrogen bond is present in H,O and there is no
hydrogen bond in HS.
Among the hydrides of group 16 elements water show unusual physical properties.
Due to small size and high electroneqativity of oxygen hydrogen bonding is present in HO.

Q.22
‘Why the interhalogen compounds are covalent in nature ?
This is due to the low electronegativity difference between halogens
Why interhalogen compounds are more reactive than halogens ?
The interhalogen compounds are more reactive than halogens except fluorine because A-B bond is weaker
than A-Aand B-B bond.
Why is ICI more reactive than I, ?
IC] ismore reactive than I, because I- Cl bond is weaker than I- I bond, Consequently , ICI breaks easily
to form halogen atoms which readily brings about the reactions
CIF, exist but FCI, does not exist explain,
Fluorine is most electronegative element therefore It cannot show positive oxidation state, It how only -1
oxidation state therefore FCI, doesnot exist
Because of bigger size ,Cl can accommodate three small F-atoms around it while F being small can not
accomadate three large sized Cl atoms around it
CIF is more stable than IBr
This is because Thermal srability decrease as the size difference or the electronegative difference between
two halogen atoms decrease or the stability of the interhalogen compounds increase as the size of the central
atom increase. Thus CIF is more stable than IBr
Fluorine provides the large variety of interhalogen compounds among halogen , why ?
Fluorine is smallest in size, most electronegative and isthe strong oxidising agent
Why Chlorine water on standing loses its yellow colour?
Chlorine water on standing loses its yellow colour due to the formation of HCI and HOCI.
Why Chlorine water acts as oxidising agent and bleaching agent?
Chlorine react with water form hypochlorousacid which is unstable decomposes to gives nascent oxygen
which is responsible for oxidising and bleaching properties of chlorine.
C+ HO ——+[HCl + HOC] ——+ 2HCl + [0]

Ans. The general electronic configuration of transition elements is (1-1) d'“" ns*
Q.2 Why Zn, Cd and Hg are not considered as true transition elements,
Ans: Thisis because neither they nor their ions have partially filled d-orbitals. unlike other transition elements they
are not hard because they donot have unpaired electrons and the metallic bond is weak
Q.3 Transition elements have high melting points. Why?
Ans: Thisis due to the presence of strong metallic bond and strong metallic bonds are due to involvement of
greater number of electrons in metallic bonding from (n-1)d orbitals in addition to ns electrons,
Why Zn, Cd & Hgare soft and have low melting points?
This is because they have fully filled d -orbitals and due to whcih weak interatomic interactions are present

‘The melting point of transition elements for a given series first inerease and then attain a
maximum value and_ after that decrease.Explain
Thisisbecause the number of unpaired electrons of the transition elements first increase then decrease,
Why do transition elements exhibit higher enthalpies of atomisation?
Because of large number of unpaired electrons in their atoms they have strong interatomic interaction and
hence strong bonding between atoms resulting higher enthalpies of atomisation.
In the 3d series the enthalpy of atomisation of Zinc is lowest ie 126 Jmol. why ?
Inthe formation of metallic bonds , no electrons from 3d orbitals are involved in case of zinc, while in all
other metals of the 3d sereis, electrons from the d orbitals are always involved in the formation metallic bonds.
‘The metals of the second (4d Jand third (5d ) series have greater enthalpies of atomisation than the
corresponding elements of the first series.
This is because the 4d and Sd series of the transition metals have more. frequent metal - metal bonding in their
compounds than 3d metals,
‘Metal -metal bonding is more frequent for the 4d and Sd series transition metals than that
for the 3d series. Explain
This is because 4d and Sd series elements have greater distance of outer eleectrons form the nucleus as
compared to 3d series elements Thus the valence electrons are less tightly held and hence can form
metal -metal bond more frequent
In the transition series with increase in atomic number, the atomic radius does not change very much
why is it so?
As we move from left to right along a transition series, the nuclear charge increase which tends to decrease the
size but the addition of electrons in the d - subshell increase the screening effect which counterbalances the
effect of increased nuclear charge
Why Zr and Hf show similiar Properties
Zrand Hshow similiar properties due to same atomic radii
Why the jon enthalpies of Zn, Cd & Hg are very high?
This is due to the greater stablity of fullyfilled d-orbitals.
Why the first ionisation energy of Sd elements is higher than those of 3d and 4d elements ?
This is due to the weak sheilding effect of the 4f electrons present in Sd series of transition elements
Why Transition elements show variable oxidation states?
‘They show variable oxidation state. This is because there is very little difference in energies of ns and
penultimate (n-I)d subshell and electrons form both of shell participate in the bond formation,

Why Transition elemnts form coloured compounds?
Due to the presence of unpaired electrons they show d-d transition and form coloured compounds
[Ti (H,O),|* is coloured while [Se(H,O),|**is colourless explain,
‘T?hasone unpaired electron but Sc™ has no unpaired electrons.
Zn™ salts are white while Cu* salts are coloured
Zn** salts have completely filled d orbitals ( 34") thus d-d transition is not possible, while in Cur salt
d- orbitalsare incomplete ( 3d” )and d - d transition is possible which makes its salt coloured.
‘Most of the transition elements and their compound show catalytic properties.Explain

Why Transition elements form alloys ?
Because they have nearly equal atomic rad
Why Transition elements form Interstitial compounds?
Due to the presence of vaccant space in their crystal lattice, they form interstitial compounds.
Why Transition elements form complex compounds?
Transition elements have good tendency to form complex compounds because of lower ionic radii higher
nuclear charge and presence of vacant d orbitals
Cu is more stable than Cu". Explain
‘Cu'* with d'® configuration should be more stable but actually Cu is more stable than Cu'* ion because of high
