A molecule with the formula \({\mathrm{AX}}_{4}\mathrm{Y}\)has all it's elements from p-block. Element A is rarest, monoatomic, non-radioactive from its group and has the lowest ionization enthalpy value among A, X and Y. Elements X and Y have first and second highest electronegativity values respectively among all the known elements. The shape of the molecule is :
[JEE Main 2025, 2 Apr (Shift 1)]
Square pyramidal
X = F (highest electronegativity)
Y = O (second highest)
A = Tl (rarest, lowest IE in group 13)
\({\mathrm{AX}}_{4}\mathrm{Y}\) → 5 bond pairs, no lone pair → square pyramidal

Memory Based Question 29/Jan/25 Evening shift
\({\mathrm{H}}_{2}{\mathrm{SO}}_{3}{\mathrm{F}}^{+}\)
Magic acid ( FSO 3H·SbF 5) is a superacid consisting of a mixture, most commonly in a 1:1 molar ratio, of fluorosulfuric acid ( HSO 3F) and antimony pentafluoride ( SbF 5). The super acidity of super acid is due to the formation of \({\mathrm{H}}_{2}{\mathrm{SO}}_{3}{\mathrm{F}}^{+}\)ion .
Element not showing variable oxidation state:
(Memory Based JEE Mains 22/01/2025 ,Shift -1)
F
Fluorine has no vacant d-orbitals so no electron excitation is possible and so it does not exhibit variable oxidation states.
Which of the following group-15 element forms \(p\pi -p\pi\) bond and strongest basic hydride? (memory based jee mains shift-2 28/01/2025)
Z=7
Nitrogen (Z=7) forms strong pπ−pπ bonds (e.g., N≡N in N₂) due to its small size and effective orbital overlap. It also has the strongest basic hydride (NH₃) because of its highly available lone pair. Heavier Group-15 elements (P, As, Sb) have weaker bonding and less basic hydrides. Correct answer: (A) Z=7.
The species formed on fluorination of phosphorus pentachloride in a polar organic solvent are
[PCl4]+ [PCl4F2]– and [PCl4]+ [PF6]–
In a polar solvent, PCl5 undergoes auto-ionization to form ionic species [PCl4]+ [PCl6]–. Upon fluorination, fluorine, being more electronegative and smaller, tends to replace chlorine in the coordination sphere. This results in the formation of ionic isomers such as [PCl4]+ [PCl4F2]– and [PCl4]+ [PF6]–.
A 'p'-block element (E) and hydrogen form a binary cation \({\left({\text{EH}}_{\text{x}}\right)}^{+}\), while EH3 on treatment with K2HgI4 in alkaline medium gives a precipitate of basic mercury(II) amido-iodine. Given below are first ionisation enthalpy values \(\left({\text{kJmol}}^{−1}\right)\) for first element each from group 13, 14, 15 and 16. Identify the correct first ionisation enthalpy value for element E.
[JEE Main 2026, 22 Jan (Shift 2)]
1402
Element E is N, the species is \({\text{NH}}_{4}^{+}\), among B, C, N and O, N has highest first ionization energy.
At room temperature, disproportionation of an aqueous solution of in situ generated nitrous acid (\({\mathrm{HNO}}_{2}\)) gives the species
\({H}_{3}{O}^{+},N{{O}_{3}}^{−}andNO\)
In HNO₂:
Oxidation state of N = +3
In disproportionation, same species undergoes oxidation and reduction simultaneously
So N(+3) can:
Oxidize → +5 (NO₃⁻)
Reduce → +2 (NO)
3 HNO₂ → HNO₃ + 2 NO + H₂O
In aqueous solution: HNO₃ → H₃O⁺ + NO₃⁻
Final species present
H₃O⁺
NO₃⁻
NO
Incorrect Statement among the following is (JEE mains memory based shift-1 23/01/2025)
\({\mathrm{SO}}_{2}\) acts as oxidizing agent but not reducing agent
In SO₂, sulfur has an oxidation number of +4. It acts as a reducing agent by increasing its oxidation number to +6 ( forming H₂SO₄) and as an oxidizing agent by decreasing its oxidation number to 0 ( forming sulfur). Thus, SO₂ shows both behaviors.
