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.
Among the elements mentioned below, some are not stable in their +3 oxidation state and undergoes disproportionation reactions easily:
A. N
B. \(P\)
C. As
D. Sb
E. Bi
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A N and As only
- B As and Sb only
- C N and P only
- D P and As only
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) N and P only
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Nitrogen (N) in +3 oxidation state (e.g., in HNO2) readily disproportionates to +5 (HNO3) and +2 (NO) oxidation states. Phosphorus (P) in +3 oxidation state (e.g., in H3PO3) can disproportionate to +5 (H3PO4) and -3 (PH3) oxidation states. For Arsenic (As), Antimony (Sb), and…
