The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which analogy is correct, we need to analyze the properties of the compounds mentioned in the video transcript. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze HNO3 - **Identify the oxidation state of nitrogen in HNO3.** - The formula for HNO3 is: H + N + 3O = 0 - Hydrogen (H) has an oxidation state of +1. - Oxygen (O) has an oxidation state of -2. - Let the oxidation state of nitrogen (N) be X. The equation becomes: \[ +1 + X + 3(-2) = 0 \] Simplifying this gives: \[ +1 + X - 6 = 0 \implies X - 5 = 0 \implies X = +5 \] - **Conclusion:** The oxidation state of nitrogen in HNO3 is +5. ### Step 2: Analyze Ammonia (NH3) - **Determine the hybridization of nitrogen in NH3.** - The central atom is nitrogen, which has 5 valence electrons. - There are 3 hydrogen atoms (monovalent), contributing 3 electrons. - The steric number (SN) can be calculated as: \[ \text{SN} = \text{Number of atoms bonded} + \text{Lone pairs} \] In NH3, nitrogen is bonded to 3 hydrogen atoms and has 1 lone pair. Thus: \[ \text{SN} = 3 + 1 = 4 \] - **Determine hybridization based on steric number:** - A steric number of 4 corresponds to sp³ hybridization. - **Conclusion:** The hybridization of nitrogen in NH3 is sp³. ### Step 3: Evaluate Other Statements - **Check the statement regarding XePtBr6.** - The first compound of noble gas is XePtF6, not XePtBr6. Therefore, this statement is incorrect. - **Check the statement regarding SO2.** - Sulfur in SO2 has an oxidation state of +4. It can act as both an oxidizing and reducing agent, but the statement that it is only oxidizing is incorrect. - **Check the statement regarding ozone.** - Ozone (O3) is thermodynamically unstable and decomposes to form O2, making this statement incorrect. - **Check the statement regarding phosphorus.** - Red phosphorus exists in a monoclinic structure, while the statement claims otherwise. This statement is also incorrect. ### Final Conclusion - The only correct analogy is the first one regarding HNO3 and NH3, where the oxidation state of nitrogen in HNO3 is +5 and the hybridization of nitrogen in NH3 is sp³. ### Answer The correct analogy is: **HNO3 has an oxidation state of nitrogen +5, and ammonia has a hybridization of sp³.** ---
