| Statement I: | Acid strength increases in the order given as HF < HCl < HBr < HI. |
| Statement II: | As the size of the elements F, Cl, Br, I increases down the group, the bond strength of HF, HCI, HBr, and HI decreases and so the acid strength increases. |
| 1. | Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect |
| 2. | Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct. |
| 3. | Both Statement I and Statement II are correct. |
| 4. | Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect. |
The incorrect statement regarding diamond and graphite is-
| 1. | In diamond each carbon is sp2 hybridised and in graphite, each carbon is sp3 hybridised. |
| 2. | Diamond is an insulator |
| 3. | Graphite has a planar geometry. |
| 4. | Both (2) and (3) |
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. |
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. |
Boric acid is polymeric due to-
1. Its acidic nature.
2. The presence of hydrogen bonds.
3. Its monobasic nature.
4. Its geometry.
