The balanced equation for preparation of SO₂ from sodium sulfite is:
Noble gases are chemically inert because:
Sample Questions
Which of the following are correct about halogens?
Show answer
They have ns²np⁵ configuration, They are called salt-forming elements, They are highly reactive, They exist as diatomic molecules
Halogens have ns²np⁵ configuration, are called salt-forming elements (Greek: halo=salt, gene=born), are highly reactive due to high electronegativity, and exist as X₂ molecules. Except F, others show multiple oxidation states.
Oxygen shows anomalous behavior compared to other Group 16 elements due to:
Show answer
Small atomic size, High electronegativity, Absence of d-orbitals
Oxygen's anomalous behavior is due to its small size, highest electronegativity after fluorine, and absence of d-orbitals in valence shell which prevents expansion of octet.
Which compound is used as a bleaching agent for paper and textiles?
Show answer
ClO₂
Chlorine dioxide (ClO₂) is used as a bleaching agent for paper pulp and textiles due to its strong oxidizing properties without damaging the material.
The shape of ozone (O₃) molecule is:
Show answer
Angular
Ozone has angular (bent) structure with O-O-O bond angle of about 117°. It is a resonance hybrid of two canonical forms.
