Which of the following statement/s is/are wrong?
A. Methylamine is more basic than ammonia.
B. Amines form hydrogen bonds.
C. Ethylamine has higher boiling point than propane.
D. Dimethylamine is less basic than methylamine.
E. Amines are soluble in organic solvents like alcohol.
Choose the correct from the options given below:
- A A only
- B D only
- C B & E only
- D A & C only
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) D only
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Statement D is wrong. Dimethylamine is more basic than methylamine due to the presence of two electron-donating methyl groups, which increases the electron density on the nitrogen atom more than one methyl group.

- Answer the question on basis of passage given below
The noble gases have closed shell electronic configuration and are monatomic gases under normal conditions. The low boiling points of lighter noble gases are due to the weak dispersion forces between the atoms and the absence of other inter atomic interaction. The direct reaction of xenon with fluorine leads to a series of compounds with oxidation numbers \(+2, +4\) and \(+6\).
\(\text{XeF}_4\) reacts violently with water to give \(\text{XeO}_3\). The compound of Xenon exhibit stereoisomerism and their geometries can be deduced considering the total number of electrons in the valence shell.

The transition elements which give the greatest number of oxidation states occur in or near the middle of the series. Manganese, for example, exhibits all the oxidation states from +2 to +7. The lesser number of oxidation states at extreme ends stems from either too few electrons to lose or share (Sc, Ti) on too many d-electrons (hence fewer orbitals available in which to share electrons with others) for higher valence (Cu, Zn). Thus early in the series scandium (II) is virtually unknown and titanium (IV) is more stable than Ti (III) or Ti (II). At the other end, the only oxidation state of zinc is +2 (no d electrons are involved). The maximum oxidation states of reasonable stability correspond in value to the sum of the s- and d-electrons upto manganese (\(TiO_2, VVO^+, CrVIO_4^{2-}, MnVIIO_4\)) followed by a rather abrupt decrease in stability of higher oxidation states, so that the typical species to follow are \(Fe^{II,III}, Co^{II,III}, Ni^{II}, Cu^{I,II}, Zn^{II}\).
The variability of oxidation states, a characteristic of transition elements, arises out of incomplete filling of d-orbitals in such a way that their oxidation states differ from each other by unity, e.g. \(V^{II}, V^{III}, V^{IV}, V^{V}\). This is in contrast with the variability of oxidation states of non transition elements where oxidation states normally differ by a unit of two.
An interesting feature in the variability of oxidation states of the d-block elements is noticed among the groups (groups 4 through 10). Although in the p-block, the lower oxidation states are favoured by the heavier members (due to inert pair effect), the opposite is true in the groups of d-block. For example, in group 6, Mo(VI) and W(VI) are found to be more stable than Cr(VI). The Cr(VI) in the form of dichromate in acidic medium is a strong oxidising agent, whereas \(MoO_3\) and \(WO_3\) are not.
Low oxidation states are found when a complex compound has ligands capable of \(\pi\)-acceptor character in addition to the \(\sigma\)-bonding. For example, in \(Ni(CO)_4\) and \(Fe(CO)_5\), the oxidation state of nickel and iron is zero.
The elements giving minimum number of oxidation states are in extreme left and right in 3d series.

Formaldehyde is the first member of the aldehydic series. It is present in green leaves of plants where its presence is supposed to be due to the reaction of \(CO_2\) with water in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll. Commercially, formaldehyde is obtained by the controlled oxidation of methane in the presence of molybdenum oxide (\(MoO\)) acting as a catalyst. Formaldehyde is a constituent of a number of polymers also called resins. These are non volatile solids or semi solids which are obtained directly from certain plants and can be synthesized in the laboratory.

P block elements are placed in groups 13 to 18 of the periodic table. Their valence shell electronic configuration is \(ns^2 np^{1-6}\). Group 16 of the p block elements are known as the group of chalcogens having \(ns^2 np^4\) as their general electronic configuration. They exhibit number of oxidation states but the stability of \(- 2\) oxidation state decreases down the group. They are sometimes also known as group of chalcogens as the name is derived from the Greek word for brass and points to the association of sulphur and its congeners with copper. Their ionisation enthalpy decreases down the group. Oxygen shows anomalous behaviour due to its small size and high electronegativity.
