The oxides of Cl, Br and I are well known. They have various composition. The oxides are thermally unstable and dangerously explosive. They react with alkali. The bromine oxides are thermally more stable than chlorine oxides. The structure of halogen oxides is explained on the basis of VSEPR theory. The hydrides of chlorine, bromine and iodine can be made by direct synthesis an they are well strongly fuming become increasingly more powerful reducing agents. Halogens also form oxoacids of the form HOX,HXO_(2) ,HXO_(3) " and " HXO_(4) The acidic character of oxoacids and halogen oxides decreases from 'Cl' to 'I', however it increases with increase in oxidation number of halogen in them. Which of the following does not dimerise?

In a sample of ethyl ethanote (CH_(3)COOC_(2)H_(5)) the two oxygen atoms have the same number of electrons but different number of neutrons, which of the following is the correct reason for it?

    Two different formulas are used in order to represent composition of any miolecule, empirical formula and molecular formula . While the fomer gives an idea of relative ratio of number of atoms, latter gives the exact number of atoms in the molecule. An organic compound contains C N and O . The number of oxygen atom is same as that of nitogen atom which is one third of number of carbon atoms and number of hydrogen atoms is approximately 2.33 times of carbon atoms. If vapour density of the compound is 73 then molecular formula of the compound will be :

    Hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons is an exothermic reaction. Due to hyperconjugation and resonance the stability of unsaturated hydrocarbons increases and the increase in stability is more due to resonance. Compound with same number of pi- bonds and more stability has lower heat of hydrogenation. Heat of formation is defined as the energy evolved when a molecule is formed from its atoms. For isomers the more stable compounds has higher heat of formation. The order of heat of formation of the following molecules is :

    In a sample of ethyl ethanoate (CH_3COOC_2H_5) the two oxygen atoms have the same number of electrons but different number of neutrons. Which of the following is the correct reason for it ?

    Halogens react with each other to form a number of compounds called interalogen compounds. Their genral formula is AX_(n) , where A is less electronegative halogen while X is a more electronegative halogen and n is its number. The interhalogen compounds are essentially convalent and more reactive than the halogens since the bond A-X is weaker than A-A or X-X bond. The reaction of interhalogens are similar to those of halogens. How many lone pairs of electrons are present on chlorine in CIF_(3) molecule ?

    Read the paragraph carefully and answer the following questions: The property of hydrides of p-block elements mostly depends on (i) (electronegativity difference between central atom and hydrogen.. (ii) size of central atom and (iii)number of valence electrons in central atom. Some undergo hydrolysis in which central atom is less electronegative, Teal with OH to give hydrogen. While acidic property of hydride in a period depends on electronegativity of central atoms, I.e. more electronegative is the atom, more acidic is hydride. In a group, acidic property is proportional to the size of central atom. Some electron deficient hydride behaves as Lewis acid while only one hydride of an element in pblock behaves as Lewis base with lone pair of electrons Hydrides in which central atom's electronegativity is close to hydrogen has no reaction with water. QWhich one is the weakest acid among the following?
