NH3 forms a hydrogen bond but PH3 does not because:
1. | Phosphorus is more electronegative as compared to nitrogen. |
2. | Nitrogen is more electronegative as compared to phosphorus. |
3. | Nitrogen and phosphorous have equal electronegativity. |
4. | Nitrogen is more stable as compared to phosphorus. |
Nitrogen exists as a diatomic molecule and phosphorus as P4 because on moving
1. | up a group, the tendency to form pπ−pπ bonds decreases. |
2. | down a group, the tendency to form pπ−pπ bonds decreases. |
3. | down a group, the tendency to form dπ−dπ bonds decreases. |
4. | up a group, the tendency to form dπ−dπ bonds decreases. |
A chemical that depletes the ozone layer is:
1. Sulphur
2. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
3. Nitrogen
4. Hydrogen
Fluorine forms only one oxoacid, HOF because of -
1. Low electronegativity and small size
2. High electronegativity and small size
3. High electronegativity and big size
4. Low electronegativity and big size
Oxygen forms hydrogen bonds while chlorine does not, because :
1. | Chlorine has a bigger size and as a result, a higher electron density per unit volume. |
2. | Oxygen has a smaller size and as a result, a lower electron density per unit volume. |
3. | Oxygen has a smaller size and as a result, a higher electron density per unit volume. |
4. | Oxygen has a bigger size and as a result, a higher electron density per unit volume. |

2. It is used as a bleaching agent
3. Both '1'and '2'
4. None of the above
Halogens are colored because -
1. They absorb radiations in the U.V region
2. They absorb radiations in the visible region
3. They absorb radiations in the infrared region
4. They absorb radiations in the radiowaves region
4HCl + O2 → X + 2H2O
