MCQ
Assertion : The halogens absorb visible light.

Reason : All halogens are coloured.

  • A
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • C
    If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
  • D
    If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Answer

Correct option: B.
If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
b
Hypochlorite ion : $ClO ^{\circ}$

Chlorate ion : $ClO _3^{\ominus}$

Per chlorate ion : $ClO _4^{\ominus}$

$(A)$ Acidic order : $HC1O < HClO _3^{+5}< HClO _4^{+7}$ Conjugate base order : $ClO ^{-}> ClO _3^{-}> ClO _4^{-}$

$(B)$ Hypochlorite ion $\left( ClO ^{\circ}\right)$ : (image) Linear shape
Chlorate ion $\left( ClO _3^{\ominus}\right)$ :  (image) Trigonal pyramidal shape
Perchlorate ion $\left( ClO _4^{\circ}\right)$ : (image) Perfect tetrahedral shape due to resonance

In chlorate ion bond angle changes due to presence of lone pair on chlorine atom. While hypochlorite ion is linear and perchlorate ion is tetrahedral and there is no effect of lone pair on hypochlorite ion.

$(C)$ Disproportionation reaction of

$(i)$ hypochlorite ion : $3 ClO ^{\circ} \rightarrow 2 Cl ^{-}+ ClO _3^{\ominus}$

$(ii)$ Chlorate ion : $4 ClO _3^{\circ} \rightarrow 3 ClO _4^{\circ}+ Cl ^{\circ}$

$(D)$ $ClO ^{-}+ SO _3^{2-} \rightarrow SO _4^{2-}+ Cl ^{\circ}$
