    Ans 1. (b) Phosphorus
    Explanation: Phosphorous forms tetra atomic molecule it does not form stable diatomic molecule whereas the other given elements form stable diatomic molecules(Due to larger atomic size P does not form pi bonds and so it exists as a tetra-atomic molecule in which each P atom is bonded with 3 other P atoms by 3 sigma bond. But, due to smaller atomic size N forms 1 sigma and 2 pi bonds i.e. triple bonds with another N atom, and exists as a diatomic molecule.

    Ans 2. (d)
    Explanation: When we go down the group the size of the atom increase also the distance between The metal hydrogen bond increases in hydrides. So the strength of the metal hydrogen bond decreases therefore hydrogen is easily released. A reducing agent is one that supplies hydrogen atoms.

    Ans 3. (b)
    Explanation: Mixed anhydride or double acid anhydride is the compound that reacts with water to form a mixture of two acidic anhydrides.
    Two oxides of nitrogen are acid anhydrides; that is, they react with water to form two nitrogen-containing oxyacids.
    2NO2​ + H2​O ⟶ HNO3 ​+ HNO2​

    Que 4. Which of the following statements is wrong?

    Ans 5. (b)
    Explanation: More the oxidation state of the central atom (metal) more is its acidity. Hence  SeO2 (O. S. of Se = +4) is acidic.

    (c) Hl gets oxidised to l2
    (d) Hl changes to HlO3
    Ans 6. (c)
    Explanation: Hydrogen iodide is a stronger reducing agent than sulphuric acid so it reduces H2SO4 to SO2 and HI to I2​.
    Chloride salts when treated with sulphuric acid to give colourless gas due to formation of HCl gas.
    NaCl + H2SO4 ⟶ HCl + Na2​SO4​
    Due to the formation of iodine (I2) gas, the violet fumes are evolved during the reaction.

    (c) NH3 has a higher boiling point than PH3 and has a lower melting point than PH3
    (d) PH3 is a stronger reducing agent than NH3 and it has a lower critical temperature than NH3
    Ans 9. (d)
    Explanation: Due to the larger atomic size of P the bond length of the P−H bond is larger and bond dissociation energy is smaller. Hence, PH3​ easily gets dissociated to give up H2​ gas. Therefore, PH3​ acts as a stronger reducing agent than NH3​.

    Que 10. Which of the following statements regarding N2O4 is not correct?
    (a) It is a planar molecule
    (b) It is used as a non-aqueous solvent
