The p-Block Elements - Online Test

Q1. Ammonia act as a Lewis base because nitrogen has
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

NH3has one lone pair of electrons therefore can act as Lewis base.
Q2. Which allotrope of phosphorous is most stable?
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Black Phosphorus is most stable isotope of phosphorus because it is highly polymerized form of phosphorous.

Q3. At what temperature white phosphorous changes to red phosphorous?
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

White phosphorus when heated to 573 K in an inert atmosphere for several days red Phosphorus is obtained.

Q4. What is the spontaneous ignition temperature of white phosphorous?
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Ignition temperature of white phosphorus is 35 oC
Q5.
is the structure of
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

This structure is of H3PO4. (Orthophosphoric acid). It has three P-OH and one P=O bonds.
Q6.
is the structure of
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

H3PO2 is Hypophosphorus acid. It has one P-OH, two P-H and one P=O bonds.
Q7. Elements of which group are known as ore forming elements?
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

Maximum number of ores contain group16 elements (O, S etc). They are known as "chalcogens" which was derived from the Greek word chalcos , meaning "ore formers," since they all are be found in copper ores.

Q8. Most metal oxides are
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

In general, metal oxides are basic and ionic in nature.

Q9. The thermal stability of hydrides of group 16 elements decreases in the order
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

As we move down the group bond length increases and bond enthalpy for the dissociation of H-E bond decreases. Due to decrease in enthalpy the thermal stability of hydrides decreases down the group.

Q10. Formula of oleum is
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Oleum is pyrosulphuric acid (H2S2O7)
