PYQ

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)]

a

\(I{O}_{3}^{-},Cl{O}_{4}^{-}\text{and }Br{O}_{2}^{-}\)

✓ Correct answer: a)

\(I{O}^{-},Cl{O}_{2}^{-}\text{and }Br{O}_{3}^{-}\)

Explanation

Hydrolysis of interhalogen compounds:

\(\mathrm{ICl}+{\mathrm{H}}_{2}\mathrm{O}\to \mathrm{HIO}+\mathrm{HCl}\) (produces IO)

\({\mathrm{ClF}}_{3}+2{\mathrm{H}}_{2}\mathrm{O}\to {\mathrm{HClO}}_{2}+3\mathrm{HF}\) (produces \({\mathrm{ClO}}_{2}^{−}\))

\({\mathrm{BrF}}_{5}+3{\mathrm{H}}_{2}\mathrm{O}\to {\mathrm{HBrO}}_{3}+5\mathrm{HF}\) (produces \({\mathrm{BrO}}_{3}^{−}\))

d

\({\mathrm{HSO}}_{3}\mathrm{F}\)

✓ Correct answer: b)

\({\mathrm{H}}_{2}{\mathrm{SO}}_{3}{\mathrm{F}}^{+}\)

Explanation

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 .

F

✓ Correct answer: d)

F

Explanation

Fluorine has no vacant d-orbitals so no electron excitation is possible and so it does not exhibit variable oxidation states.

Q7 FREE PREVIEW
PYQ

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)

a

Z=7

b

Z=15

c

Z=33

d

Z=51

✓ Correct answer: a)

Z=7

Explanation

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.

Q8 FREE PREVIEW
PYQ

The species formed on fluorination of phosphorus pentachloride in a polar organic solvent are

a

[PF4]+ [PF6]and [PCl4]+ [PF6]

b

[PCl4]+ [PCl4F2]and [PCl4]+ [PF6]

c

\({\mathrm{PF}}_{3}\) and \({\mathrm{PCl}}_{3}\)

d

\({\mathrm{PF}}_{5}\) and \({\mathrm{PCl}}_{3}\)

✓ Correct answer: b)

[PCl4]+ [PCl4F2]and [PCl4]+ [PF6]

Explanation

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].

Q9 FREE PREVIEW
PYQ

Q10 FREE PREVIEW
PYQ

At room temperature, disproportionation of an aqueous solution of in situ generated nitrous acid (\({\mathrm{HNO}}_{2}\)) gives the species

a

\({H}_{3}{O}^{+},N{{O}_{3}}^{−}andNO\)

b

\({H}_{3}{O}^{+},N{{O}_{3}}^{−}andN{O}_{2}\)

c

\({H}_{3}{O}^{+},N{O}^{−}andN{O}_{2}\)

d

\({H}_{3}{O}^{+},N{{O}_{3}}^{−}and{N}_{2}O\)

✓ Correct answer: a)

\({H}_{3}{O}^{+},N{{O}_{3}}^{−}andNO\)

Explanation

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

Q11 FREE PREVIEW
PYQ

Incorrect Statement among the following is (JEE mains memory based shift-1 23/01/2025)

a

\({\mathrm{SO}}_{2}\) acts as oxidizing agent but not reducing agent

b

\({\mathrm{NO}}_{2}\) exist as a dimer

c

\({\mathrm{PF}}_{5}\mathrm{exists}\mathrm{but}{\mathrm{NF}}_{5}\) does not

d

\({\mathrm{PH}}_{3}\) has lower proton affinity than \({\mathrm{NH}}_{3}\)

✓ Correct answer: a)

\({\mathrm{SO}}_{2}\) acts as oxidizing agent but not reducing agent

Explanation

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.
