Account for the follwing :
(i) `Bi(v)` is a stronger oxidizing agent then Sb(v).
(ii) N-N single bond is weaker then P - P Single bond.
(iii) Noble gases have very low boiling points.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) Because in inert pair effect + 5 oxidation state is less in Bi then in Sb. So the bi in + 5
state will immediately get reducced to its +3 state and thus will be a better oxidizing agent than + 5 state of Sb
(ii) N-N single bond is weaker then P-P bond due to smaller size of N as compared to P.
Smaller size of N leads to the lone pair of electons on the both the N atoms repal each
other leading to unstability or weakening of N-N bond.
(iii) Noble gases have weak interatomic forces between them and thus have a very low boiling point.

All the noble gases are colourless and tasteless monoatomic gases. In general, noble gases are least reactive and their inertness to chemical reactivity is attributed to the following reasons. Reactive and their inertness to chemical reactivity is attributed to the following reasons. (i)Except helium, all have completely filled ns^(2)np^(6) electronic configuration in their valence shells. (ii)All have high ionisation enthalpy and more positive electron gain enthalpy. However, a number of xenon compounds mainly with most electronegative elements like fluorine and oxygen have been synthesized under different conditions and fluorides of xenon have been used as an oxidising agent and a fluorinating agent in many of the chemical reactions Noble gases have very low melting and boiling points because.
