pBlockElements Chapter 07: p-Block Elements

6. In SO2 molecule, two oxygen atoms are attached to central sulphur atom through two double bonds.
bonds are formed by overlap of sp2 hybrid orbital of sulphur with p-orbital of oxygen. One bond is
formed by overlap of p-orbital of sulphur with p-orbital of oxygen. Another bond is formed by overlap of
d-orbital of S with p-orbital of O.
9. Moist ammonia is dried by passing over quick lime(CaO). Ammonia reacts with drying agents like H2SO4
and P2O5 to form salts. It also forms a complex (CaCl2.8NH3) with CaCl2. Hence, these drying agents (i.e.,
H2SO4, P2O5 and CaCl2) cannot be used for drying of ammonia.
12. More ionic the compound more it is soluble in water. Metal fluorides are most ionic and metal iodides are
least ionic. The decreasing order of the ionic character of the MX bond in metal halides is:
MF > MCl > MBr > MI. Hence AgI, which is a metal iodide, is insoluble in water.
13. Reducing character follows the order
HI > HBr > HCl > HF
14. Disproportionation reaction is one in which an atom gets both oxidised and reduced.
