p-Block Elements-II – 5 Mark Questions
Most Repeated 5 Marks
Note : Number next to questions tells, how many times it has been repeated in past few years
1.Write the action of dil and conc.Naoh on Cl2? (3)
Chlorine reacts with cold dilute alkali to give chloride and hypochlorite while with hot concentrated alkali chlorides and chlorates are formed.


2.Give two equations to illustrate the chemical behaviour of phospine? (2)
Thermal stability: Phosphine decomposes into its elements when heated in absence of air at 317 K or when electric current is passed through it.

Combustion: When phosphine is heated with air or oxygen it burns to give meta phosphoric acid.

3.Structure of ammonia? (2)
- Ammonia molecule is pyramidal in shape
- N-H bond distance is 1.016 Å and
- H-H bond distance is 1.645 Å with a bond angle 107°.
- The structure of ammonia may be regarded as a tetrahedral with one lone pair of electrons in one tetrahedral position hence it has a pyramidal shape

4.Explain the action of heat on pcl5? (2)
1)OF2 (-1 always for flourine)
= -1
2)O2F2
= -1
3)Cl203
- 2x + 3(-2) = 0
- 2x -6 = 0
- 2x = 6
- x = 6/2
- = +3
2)I2O4
- 2x + 4(-2) = 0
- 2x – 8 = 0
- 2x = 8
- X = 8/2
- X = +4
