1 Q1.Boron is unable to make BF63- ion. Explain.
Solution : Due to non-availability of d-orbitals, boron is unable to expand its octet. Therefore the maximum covalency of boron cannot exceed 4 9/19/2018 Gogin Haridas XI A

2 Q2.White fumes appear around the bottle of anhydrous aluminium chloride. Give reasons
Solution: Anhydrous aluminium chloride is partially hydrolysed with atmospheric moisture to liberate HCl gas. Moist HCl appears in white colour. 9/19/2018 Gogin Haridas XI A

3 Q3.Why is boric acid considered as weak acid?
Solution: Because it is not able to release H+ ions on its own. It receives OH- ions from water molecule to complete its octet and in turn releases H+ ions . 9/19/2018 Gogin Haridas XI A

4 Q4. Standard electrode potential values for Al3+/Al is -1
Q4. Standard electrode potential values for Al3+/Al is V and that of Tl3+/Tl is+1.26 V. Predict about the formation of M3+ ions in solution and compare the electropositive character of the two metals. Solution: Standard electrode potential values for two half cell reactions suggest that aluminium has the highest tendency to make Al3+ ions, whereas Tl3+ is not only unstable in solution but is powerful oxidising agent. Thus Tl+ is more stable in solution than Tl3+.Aluminium being able to form +3 ions easily, is more electropositive than thallium. 9/19/2018 Gogin Haridas XI A

5 (iii) Silicon and germanium
Q5. Select the members of group 14 that (i) forms the most acidic dioxide ,(ii) is commonly found in +2 oxidation state (iii) used as a semi-conductor. Solution: (i) Carbon (ii) Lead (iii) Silicon and germanium 9/19/2018 Gogin Haridas XI A

6 Q6. Diamond is covalent, yet it has high melting point. Why?
Solution: Diamond has a three dimensional network involving C-C bonds, which are very difficult to break and in turn has a melting point. 9/19/2018 Gogin Haridas XI A

7 Q7. [SiF6]2- is known whereas [SiCl6]2-not.Give possible reasons.
Solution: The possible reasons are: Six large chloride ions cannot be accommodated around Si4+ due to limitation of its size. Interaction between lone pair of chloride ion and Si4+ is not very strong. 9/19/2018 Gogin Haridas XI A

8 They are hydrophobic (water repellant) in nature
Q8.What are silicones? Solution: Simple silicones consist of chains in which alkyl or phenyl groups occupy the remaining bonding positions on each silicon. They are hydrophobic (water repellant) in nature 9/19/2018 Gogin Haridas XI A
