Classification of Oxides

  • Oxides are binary compounds of oxygen with metals or non-metals.
  • They are classified based on acid-base behavior: acidic, basic, amphoteric, and neutral oxides.
  • Acidic oxides are formed by non-metals and react with bases to form salt and water.
2

Ozone and its Properties

  • Ozone (O₃) is an allotrope of oxygen with a bent/V-shaped structure.
  • It is prepared by passing oxygen through a silent electric discharge (Siemens ozonizer).
  • Ozone is a powerful oxidizing agent and unstable, decomposing to O₂.
3

Sulphuric Acid – Manufacture and Properties

  • Manufactured by Contact Process using V₂O₅ catalyst.
  • SO₂ is produced by burning sulfur or roasting pyrites.
  • SO₂ is oxidized to SO₃ at 720K and 2 atm pressure using V₂O₅.
4

Hydrogen Halides and Oxoacids of Chlorine

  • Hydrogen halides: HF, HCl, HBr, HI — acidity increases down the group: HF < HCl < HBr < HI.
  • HF has high boiling point due to hydrogen bonding.
  • HCl prepared by NaCl + H₂SO₄ or direct combination of H₂ and Cl₂.
