Question

1.Mg CO3 decomposes at a lower temperature than SrCO3 because:

A ) Mg2+ is amphoteric, Sr2+ is not               B)   Mg2+ is more polarizing than Sr2+

C)  Sr2+ is more polarizing than Mg2+           D)  Sr2+ shows evidence of the inert pair effect

E)   MgCO3 is a polymer, SrCO3 is not

2.  Which pair is given in order of decreasing size?

    A)  Cl-, Clo     B) Sr, Ca     C) I-, Br-    D) K, K+     E) none of these

3.  sp:

    A)  0     B)  2     C)  3     D) 4      E)  5

4.  The outer shell, valence configuration for Co in CoBr4-2 is:

    A)   s2     B)   d2      C)     d4   D)     s1d1      E)     d0

5.  The Bond order for  N2is:

      A)   1.0   B)   2.0 C)   3.0  D)   2.5   E) 1.5

Explanation / Answer

1) mg+2 has small size sr+2 is big ion

we have big ion stabilises big small stabilises small rule for lattice energy


s melting point depends on inter molecular force mgco3 because of polarisation of small mg +2 ion has less melting point


2)b,c,d


3)2,3 are possible


4)it has Co+2 ion having valence configuration=d7 atomic no is 27 remove elctrons from 4s


5)bond order is 3
