Given below are two statements:

Statement $I$: The boiling point of hydrides of Group $16$ elements follow the order

$\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{Te}>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{Se}>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}$.

Statement $II$: On the basis of molecular mass, $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ is expected to have lower boiling point than the othe members of the group but due to the presence of extensive $\mathrm{H}$-bonding in $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$, it has higher boiling point.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • A
     Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are false
  • B
    Statement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false
  •  Statement $I$ is false but Statement $II$ is true
  • D
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are true
Answer
Correct option: C.
 Statement $I$ is false but Statement $II$ is true
c
Statement $I$ is correct, because boiling point of hydrides of group $16$ follows the order

$\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{Te}>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{Se}>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}$ .

Statement $II$ due to intermolecular $\mathrm{H}$-bonding $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ shows higher boiling point than respective hydrides of group $16$.

(Both Statement are true)

Order from $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{Te}$ to $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}$ is due to decreasing molar mass.

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R:$

Assertion $A:$ Metallic sodium dissolves in liquid ammonia giving a deep blue solution, which is paramagnetic.

Reason $R:$ The deep blue solution is due to the formation of amide.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  • A
    $A$ is false but $R$ is true
  • B
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$
  • C
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is NOT the correct explanation of $A$
  • $A$ is true but $R$ is false
Answer
Correct option: D.
$A$ is true but $R$ is false
d
On dissolving alkali metal (sodium) in liquid ammonia, a deep blue solution is developed due to ammoniated electron which absorbs energy in visible region of light and imparts blue colour. Due to unpaired electron, solution is paramagnetic.

$M +(x+y) NH _3 \rightarrow\left[ M \left( NH _3\right)\right]^{+}+\left[e\left( NH _3\right) y\right]^{-}$

So, assertion statement is correct but reason is incorrect.

Which one of the following orders is correct for the bond dissociation enthalpy of halogen molecules ?
  • A
    $Br_2 > I_2 > F_2 > Cl_2$
  • B
    $F_2 > Cl_2 > Br_2 > I_2$

Answer
Correct option: D.
$Cl_2 > Br_2 > F_2 > I_2$
d
$\mathrm{Cl}_{2}>\mathrm{Br}_{2}>\mathrm{F}_{2}>\mathrm{I}_{2}$

Bond dissociation energy of $F_{2}$ less than $C l_{2}$ and $B r_{2}$ because small size of atom result in strong lone pair repulsion.

The variation of the boiling points ofthe hydrogen halides is in the order $HF > HI > HBr > HCl.$ What explains the higher boiling point of hydrogen fluoride ?
  • There is strong hydrogen bonding between $HF$ molecules.
  • B
    The bond energy of $HF$ molecules is greater than in other hydrogen halides.
  • C
    The effect of nuclear shielding is much reduced in fluorine which polarises the $HF$ molecule.
  • D
    The electronegativity of fluorine is much higher than for other elements in the group.
Answer
Correct option: A.
There is strong hydrogen bonding between $HF$ molecules.
a
Due to strong $H-$bonding in $HF$ molecule, boiling point is highest for $HF$

Acidity of diprotic acids in aqueous solutions increases in the order
  • $H_2S < H_2Se < H_2Te$
  • B
    $H_2Se < H_2S < H_2Te$
  • C
    $H_2Te < H_2S < H_2Se$
  • D
    $H_2Se < H_2Te < H_2S$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$H_2S < H_2Se < H_2Te$
a
Acidic strength of hydrides increases as the size

of central atom increases which weakens the

$\mathrm{M}-\mathrm{H}$ bond. Since, the size increases from $\mathrm{S}$ to $\mathrm{Te}$

thus acidic strength follows the order.

$H_{2} S < H_{2} S e < H_{2} T e$

Acidic nature $\propto \frac{1}{\text { Bond disspciation enthalpy }}$

$S$ to $Te$ size increases, bond dissociation enthalpy

decreases and acidic nature increases.

Order of liquification of noble gases is
  • A
    $He > Ne > Ar > Kr > Xe$
  • $Xe > Kr > Ar > Ne > He$
  • C
    $Ar > Kr > Xe > He > Ne$
  • D
    $Xe > Kr > Ne > He > Ar$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$Xe > Kr > Ar > Ne > He$
b
The ease of liquefaction decreases with decrease in critical temperature.

He has the lowest critical temperature $(5.1 \,K$ ) while $Rn$ has the highest critical temperature $(373.5\, K$ ). It increases as we move down the group from helium to radon.

The decrease of the critical temperature follows the trend $Xe \,>\, Kr \,>\, Ar \,>\,Ne\, >\, He$ and hence, the same trend is followed for liquefaction.
