Explanation
Basic character decreases as the size of central atom increases in hydrides of group 15 members
NO2 and O2
Carbon does not show semi metallic properties
Ozone is not paramagnetic but it is diamagnetic. The third O atom pairs up the unpaired electrons of O2 molecule
No d - orbitals are available for bonding in nitrogen
CO reacts with haemoglobin in red blood cells to form carboxy haemoglobin which reduces the oxygen carrying capacity of haemoglobin.
In diamond each carbon atom is sp3-hybridized and thus forms covalent bonds with four other carbon atoms lying at the corners of a regular tetrahedron.
Alkaline solution of pyrogallol absorbs oxygen quickly
N2 is chemically inert as compared to CN‒ because of the absence of bond polarity
N2 molecule contains triple bond between N atoms having very high dissociation energy (946 kJ mol-1 ) due to which it is relatively inactive
NH4NO2 on heating gives N2 and H2O and not NH3. All others will give NH3 on heating.
Blasting of TNT is done by mixing it with NH4NO3. This mixture of 1:5 ratio is called amatol.
BF3 is least acidic due to back donation of electrons from F to B
H3BO3 is weak monobasic acid.
The bridging hydrogen atom will involve in the formation of a B-H-B bond with only two electrons and is called a three centred or a banana bond.
