View full solution →The ionic character of metallic halides tends toward covalent nature as per Fajan's rule. Such covalent halides behave as non-metal in their higher oxidation states. The property to hydrolyse to give oxy-acids of the element and corresponding hydro halogen acid for most non-metallic elements proceeds exceptionally in the way, keeping oxidation number of element and halide sam in oxo-acids.
Non-polar halides are immiscible in water, as they do not show hydrolysis, but halides of some elements with empty d-orbital undergo hydrolysis. Stability of halides of the higher state is governed by the inert-pair effect.
1. How does halide undergo hydrolysis to give oxy-acids of underlined element $PCl _3$ ? (1)
2. Out of $NCl _3$ and $BCl _3$ undergoes hydrolysis to form oxy-acids? Write the chemical reaction for the correct answer. (1)

View full solution →IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) system of nomenclature. Common names are useful and in many cases indispensable, particularly when the alternative systematic names are lengthy and complicated. A systematic name of an organic compound is generally derived by identifying the parent hydrocarbon and the functional group(s) attached to it. By using prefixes and suffixes, the parent name can be modified to obtain the actual name. In a branched-chain compound, small chains of carbon atoms are attached at one or more carbon atoms of the parent chain. The small carbon chains (branches) are called alkyl groups. An alkyl group is derived from a saturated hydrocarbon by removing a hydrogen atom from carbon. Abbreviations are used for some alkyl groups. For example, methyl is abbreviated as Me, ethyl as Et, propyl as Pr and butyl as Bu.

2. How is the numbering in branched chain hydrocarbon done? (1)
