Allotropy is the occurence of same eleme...

Allotropy is the occurence of same element in two or more different physical forms having more or less similar chemical properties but different physical properties. The different forms of the element are called allotropes. Allotropy is due to the difference in the arrangement of atoms in solid state. Allotropes may be crystalline or amorphous
Among the following statements are incorrect statement(s) is / are

A

Of all the elements carbon exhibit maximum catenation power

B

Silanes are less stable than hydrocarbon because - I effect of hydrogen, decreases the electron density of Si - Si bond

C

Silicon exhibit more catenation power in halides than in hydrides due to `ppi-ppi` nature

D

`CS_(2)` is a volatile liquid while `SiS_(2)` is high melting solid due to polymeric structure

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Generally Si is more catenation power

The necessary condition for a molecule to exhibit optical isomerism is dissymmetry or chiral. Thus all organic compounds which contain one as symetric carbon atom are chiral and exist in two stereoisomers. Although the two forms have the same structure, they have different arrangements of groups about the as symmetric carbon. In fact, they represent as symetric molecules. They do not have a plane of symmetry. They are related to each other as an object to its mirror image and are non superimposable. The two structures actually stand for dextro or (+) and leavo or (-) isomers. Since they are related each other as mirror images, they are commonly called enantiomers. Which of the following statements is correct regarding compounds I to III

Oxidation number is the charge which an atom of an element has in its ion or appears to have when present in the combined state. It is also called oxidation state. Oxidation number of any atom in the elementary state is zero. Oxidation number of a monoatomic ion is equal to the charge on it. In compounds of metals with non metals, metals have positive oxidation number while non metals have negative oxidation numbers. In compounds of two difference elements, the more electronegative element has negative oxidation number whereas the other has positive oxidation number. In complex ions, the sum of the oxidation number of all the atoms is equal to the charge on the ion. If a compound contains two or more atoms of the same element, they may have same or different oxidation states according as their chemical bonding is same or different. The oxidation state of the most electronegative element in the products of the reaction between BaO_(2) and H_(2)SO_(4) are
