enthalpy.

7. Increasing order of size: Al3+ < Mg2+ < Na+ < F- < O2-
This is an isoelectronic series i.e. the number electrons are the same in all the elements.
Thus, as the effective nuclear charge decreases, electrons are held away from the

(i) H2+ is more stable than H2- as it contains no electron in antibonding MO while latter
contains an electron in antibonding MO making it less st
(ii) PCl5 contains axial and equatorial bonds. Axial bonds are longer than equatorial
bonds as they face more repulsion from equatorial bonds. Hence axial bonds are
weaker than equatorial bonds.
(iii) NaI is more covalent due to high polarizability of iodide ion due to its bigger size
than chloride ion.
15.
(i) This is due to the reason that the molecules which undergo evaporation are high
energy molecules and therefore, the kinetic energy of the remaining molecules
becomes less. Since the remaining molecules have lower average kinetic energy,
their temperature becomes low.
(ii) This is due to surface tension of liquids. Due to surface tension, the molecules of a
liquid, try to make surface area to be minimum and for a given volume, sphere has
the minimum surface area. Therefore the falling liquid drops are spherical.
(iii) Intermolecular forces are stronger in acetone than in ether. Thus the vapour
pressure of acetone is less than ether.

Examples: H+, Cl+,NO2 +, R3C+.

22.
(a) Lithium and magnesium follow diagonal relationship and so lithium like magnesium
forms nitride while other alkali metals do not.

(b) Size of O 2- ion is smaller than SO42-. Since a bigger anions stabilizes bigger cation
more than a smaller cation stabilizes a bigger anion, lattice enthalpy of BaO is
smaller than BaSO4. BaO is soluble as hydration energy is more than lattice energy
but BaSO4 (as hydration energy is less than lattice energy) is insoluble in water.

By solving,

Substituting the values,

ΔH= [715.0 + 2(242) -30.5-(-135.5)] kJ/mol

(a) Bond energy is the amount of energy required to dissociate one mole of bonds
present between the atoms in the gaseous phase. As molecules dissociate
completely into atoms in the gaseous phase therefore bond energy of a diatomic
molecule is called enthalpy of atomization.

(b) C(s) +2H2(g) → CH4(g) ΔrH = -74.8 kJ

 C(s) → C(g) ΔrH0 = +719.6kJ
H2(g) → 2H(g) ΔrH0 = +435kJ

C(s) + 2H2(g) → C(g) + 4 H (g)

C(s) - 2H2(g) - CH4(g)
0 = C(g) + 4 H (g) - CH4(g)
ΔrH = 719.6 +2(435.4) + 74.8

(a) This is because boric acid does not act as proton donor rather it accepts a lone pair
of electrons from OH- ions. There by acting as monobasic lewis acid.
(b) PbO2 and SnO2 both are in +4 oxidation state. But due to sronger ionetr par effect
Pb2+ ion is more stable than Sn2+ ion.
(c) In other way Pb2+ ions is more easily reduced to Pb2+ ions. Thus PbO2 acts as a
stronger oxidizing agent than SnO2.
(d) The molecules of CO2 are held together by weak Van der Waals forces of attraction
which can be easily overcome by collisions of the molecules at room temperature.
Onsequently CO2 is a gas.
While silicon atoms forms four single covalent bonds with 0-atm which are
tetrahedrally arranged and form a three- dimensional structure. Thus SiO2 is a high
melting solid.
(e) SiF62- is known but SiCl62- is not known, because interaction between lone pair of
chloride ion and Si4+ ion is not strong. Also six large chloride ions cannot be
accommodated around Si4+ due to limitation of its size.

Its formula is B3N3H6. The compound is isoelectric and isostructural with benzene.

s-character 25% s-character 50%

Since s-orbital are closer to the nucleus, hence due to more s character in ethyne (sp
hybridized) the hybridized orbital is nearest to this carbon atom in comparison to
sp2 hybridised carbon. This leads to the movement of C-H bond pair more towards sp
hybridized carbon, leading to the development of partial positive charge on the
hydrogen attached to sp hydridised carbon and eventually helps in release of proton
(H+). Thus, ethyne is more acidic than n-hexane.
