MCQ 31 Mark
Catenation i.e., linking of similar atoms depends on size and electronic configuration of atoms. The tendency of catenation in Group $14$ elements follows the order:
  • A
    $\text{C > Si > Ge > Sn.}$
  • ✓
    $\text{C >> Si > Ge ≈ Sn.}$
  • C
    $\text{Si > C > Sn > Ge.}$
  • D
    $\text{Ge > Sn > Si > C.}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\text{C >> Si > Ge ≈ Sn.}$
The decrease in catenation property is linked with $M – M$ bond energy which decreases from carbon to tin.
$\text{C}-\text{C}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{Si}-\text{S}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{Ge}-\text{Ge}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{Sn}-\text{Sn}\\^{83\text{kcal/ mol}}\ \ \ \ ^{54\text{kcal/ mol}}\ \ \ \ ^{40\text{kcal/ mol}}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ^{37\text{kcal/ mol}}$
Thus, two options $(a)$ and $(b)$ are correct in this question but $(b)$ is more approprite.
$\text{C}>>\text{Si}\ \ \ \ \ \ > \ \ \ \ \ \text{Ge}\approx\text{Sn}\\ ^{\text{large difference}\\ \ \ \ \text{in energy}}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ^{\text{Small difference}\\ \ \ \ \text{in energy}}$

Which of the following figures show$(s)$ the bonding in diborane?
  • A
  • B
  • ✓
    Both $(A)$ and $(b)$
  • D
    None of these.
Answer
Correct option: C.
Both $(A)$ and $(b)$
In the structure of diborane, each $B$ atom uses $sp^3$-hybridised orbital for bonding. Out of the four $sp^3 -$hybridised orbitals on each $B$ atom, one is without an electron shown by dotted lines. The terminal $B-H$ bonds are normal $2$ centre$-2$ electron bonds but the two bridge bonds are $3$ centre$-2$ electron bonds. The $3$ centre$-2$ electron bridge bonds are also refered as banana bonds.

MCQ 61 Mark
In representative elements the ionization energy values generally decrease smoothly down the group. But in boron group the values show an erratic trend. This is mainly due to:
  • A
    increase in metallic nature down the group
  • B
    inert pair effect in the heavier elements of the group
  • ✓
    $d-$block contraction and lanthanide contraction affecting the values of later elements due to poor shielding by $d$ and $f$ electrons
  • D
    The different type of packing in their crystalline structure
Answer
Correct option: C.
$d-$block contraction and lanthanide contraction affecting the values of later elements due to poor shielding by $d$ and $f$ electrons
Poor shielding of nuclear charge in $Ga$ by $3d$ electrons results in smaller atomic size and higher $I.P$ for the atom. Similarly, in $TI$ the poor shielding by the $4f$ electrons leads to higher $I.P$ or the atom. Hence, first $I.P$ values for the $3^{rd}$ group elements show erratic trend.

Vapour pressure of a solvent containing nonvolatile solute is $.........$
  • A
    more than the vapour pressure of a solvent
  • ✓
    less than the vapour pressure of solvent
  • C
    equal to the vapour pressure of solvent
  • D
    none
Answer
Correct option: B.
less than the vapour pressure of solvent
At any given temperature, the vapor pressure of a solution containing a nonvolatile solute is less than that of the pure solvent. This effect is called vapor pressure lowering. The solid line in Figure is a plot of the vapor pressure of pure water versus temperature. The break in the curve at $0^{\circ} C$ is the intersection of the curve of the vapor pressure of the solid with the curve of the vapor pressure of the liquid. The dashed line in is a plot of the vapor pressure of an aqueous solution of sugar versus temperature. Notice that the vapor pressure of the solution is always less than that of the pure solvent.
The vapor pressure of pure water is shown as a solid line; the vapor pressure of an aqueous solution is shown as a dashed line. Note the differences between the solution and the pure substance in melting point and boiling point.

  • A
    $Tl$
  • B
    $Pb$
  • C
    $Bi$
  • ✓
    $C$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$C$
The inert pair effect is the tendency of the electrons in the outermost atomic $s$ orbital to remain unionized or unshared in compounds of post$-$transition metals. The term inert pair effect is often used in relation to the increasing stability of oxidation states that are two less than the group valency for the heavier elements of groups $13, 14, 15$ and $16$. The inert pair effect is shown by $Tl, Pb$ and $Bi$ due to which, the lower oxidation state is more stable than the higher oxidation state. But $C$, being higher up in the periodic table, does not show inert pair effect.

  • D
    $\ce{dsp^2}$, square planar.
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\mathrm{sp}^3$, tetrahedral.
Boron has die electronic configuration:
$1\text{s}^22\text{s}^22\text{p}^1_\text{x}2\text{p}^0_\text{y}2\text{p}^0_\text{z}$
In the excited state, $2s-$orbital electrons are impaired and one electron is shifted to a $p-$orbital. Now, hybridisation occurs between one $s-$and three $p-$orbitals to give $sp^3$ hybridisation and tetrahedral geometry.
$1\text{s}^2\underbrace{2\text{s}^12\text{p}^1_\text{x}2\text{p}^1_\text{y}2\text{p}^0_\text{z}}\\ \ \ \ \text{sp}^3\text{-hybridisation}$
