Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow :
All neutral halogens are diatomic and readily reduced to halide ions.
All combine with hydrogen to form gases which except for HF, are strong acids in aqueous solution.The chemistry of the halogens is governed in large part by their tendency to acquire an electron to attaina noble gas electron configuration.
Except, fluorine, all halogens disproportionate in sodium hydroxide(dilute) forming halides and hypohalites. All the hypohalite ions are unstable with respect to the disproportionation;
3OX– → XO3–+ 2X–
Which of the following product is formed when one mole periodate ion (IO\(_{4}^{-}\)) reacts with excess of iodideions followed by the acidification of solution –
-
Solution
he shape of XeO2F2 molecule is
-
Solution
XeO2F2 has trigonal bipyramidal geometry, but due to presence of lone pair of electrons on equitorial position,its actual shape is see-saw.
The reaction of P4 with X leads selectively to P4O6. The X is
-
Solution
