A compound is formed by two elements P and Q. The element Q forms ccp and atoms P occupy \(1/3^{rd}\) of tetrahedral voids. What is the formula of the compound ?
- A \(P_2Q_3\)
- B \(Q_2P_3\)
- C \(PQ_2\)
- D \(P_2Q\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(P_2Q_3\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Number of Q atoms in ccp \(= 4\). Number of tetrahedral voids \(= 2 \times 4 = 8\). Number of P atoms \(= \frac{1}{3} \times 8 = \frac{8}{3}\). Ratio P : Q \(= \frac{8}{3} : 4 = 8 : 12 = 2 : 3\). Formula of the compound \(= P_2Q_3\).

- Answer the question on the basis of passage given below:
Second period elements of p-Block differs from the rest of their group members due to their small atomic size, high electronegativity, high ionization enthalpy and absence of d-orbitals. The elements from the second period like C, N, O have unique property of forming \(p \pi-p \pi\) multiple bonds whereas other heavier elements of p-block form \(d \pi-p \pi\) multiple bonds. This changes the properties of second period elements to great extent. Also the single bond strength of the p-block elements with their own atoms gets affected by their atomic size and presence of lone pairs.
Inert pair effect also affects the properties of the p-Block elements especially for those elements which are present from 4th period onward and this happens due to poor screening effect of inner (n-1)d subshell electrons.
