When chlorine gas reacts with hot and concentrated $$NaOH$$ solution, it disproportionates into chloride $$\left( {C{l^ - }} \right)$$ and chlorate $$\left( {ClO_3^ - } \right)$$ ions.
In this process, oxidation number of chlorine changes from 0 to - 1 and 0 to + 5. NOTE
In disproportionation reactions, the same element undergoes oxidation as well as reduction.

Anhydrous $$AlC{l_3}$$ is prepared by
A
reaction of $$HCl$$ and $$Al$$ metal
B
reaction of dry $$HCl$$ gas and heated $$Al$$ metal
C
passing conc. $$HN{O_3}$$ gas over heated $$Al$$ metal
D
reaction of $$A{l_2}{O_3}$$ with $$dil.\,HCl$$
Answer :
reaction of dry $$HCl$$ gas and heated $$Al$$ metal
$$CO_3^{2 - }$$ and $$NO_3^ - $$ are isoelectronic as both contain 32 electrons and isostructural as both have trigonal planar structures with $$s{p^2}$$ hybridisation of the central atom.

Identify the incorrect statement among the following.
A
$$B{r_2}$$ reacts with hot and strong $$NaOH$$ solution to give $$NaBr\,{\text{and}}\,{H_2}O$$.
B
Ozone reacts with $$S{O_2}$$ to give $$S{O_3}$$ .
C
Silicon reacts with $$NaO{H_{\left( {aq} \right)}}$$ in the presence of air to give $$N{a_2}Si{O_3}\,{\text{and}}\,{H_2}O$$.
D
$$C{l_2}$$ reacts with excess of $$N{H_3}$$ to give $${N_2}$$ and $$HCl$$ .
Answer :
$$C{l_2}$$ reacts with excess of $$N{H_3}$$ to give $${N_2}$$ and $$HCl$$ .
$$\mathop {{P_4}}\limits^0 + 3NaOH + 3{H_2}O \to $$ $$P\mathop {{H_3}}\limits^{ + 3} + 3Na{H_2}P\mathop {{O_2}}\limits^{ - 1} $$
It is redox reaction.
(i) Oxidation number increases during oxidation reaction and decreases during reduction reaction.
(ii) In a neutralisation reaction acids and bases reacts together to form salt and water.

Group 16 elements have lower value of first ionisation enthalpy as compared to group 15 elements because
A
half filled $$p$$ - orbitals in group 15 elements are more stable
B
group 16 elements have smaller size than group 15 elements
C
group 16 elements contain double bond while group 15 elements have triple bond
D
group 16 elements have more number of electrons in $$p$$ - orbitals.
Answer :
half filled $$p$$ - orbitals in group 15 elements are more stable
No explanation is given for this question. Let's discuss the answer together.

In case of nitrogen, $$NC{l_3}$$ is possible but not $$NC{l_5}$$ while in case of phosphorous, $$PC{l_3}$$ as well as $$PC{l_5}$$ are possible. It is due to
A
availability of vacant $$d$$ orbitals in $$P$$ but not in $$N$$
B
lower electronegativity of $$P\,{\text{than}}\,N$$
C
lower tendency of $$H$$-bond formation in $$P\,{\text{than}}\,N$$
D
occurrence of $$P$$ in solid while $$N$$ in gaseous state at
room temperature.
Answer :
availability of vacant $$d$$ orbitals in $$P$$ but not in $$N$$
$${}_7N = 1{s^2}2{s^2}2{p^3};\,\,\,\,\,{}_{15}P = 1{s^2}2{s^2}2{p^6}3{s^2}3{p^3}$$
NOTE: In phosphorous the $$3d$$- orbitals are available. Hence phosphorous can from pentahalides also but nitrogen can not form pentahalide due to absence of $$d\, - $$orbitals

Which of the following oxides of nitrogen is a coloured gas?
Diamond does not show electrical conductivity due to the absence of free electrons. Sodium and potassium are metallic conductors while graphite is a non-metallic conductor.

When three parts of cone. $$HCl$$ and one part of cone. $$HN{O_3}$$ is mixed, a compound $$'X'$$ is formed. The correct option related to $$'X'$$ is
A
$$'X'$$ is known as aqua-regia
B
$$'X'$$ is used for dissolving gold
C
$$'X'$$ is used for decomposition of salts of weaker acids
$$3HC{l_{\left( {conc.} \right)}} + HN{O_{3\left( {conc.} \right)}}$$ \[\to \underset{\begin{smallmatrix}
\left( X \right) \\
\text{Aqua regia}
\end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{NH{{O}_{3}}\cdot 3HCl}}\,\]
Aqua regia is used for dissolving noble metals like gold, platinum. $$HCl$$ decomposes salts of weaker acids e.g., carbonates, hydrogen carbonates, sulphites, etc.
