Question:

A gas $(X)$ is obtained when copper reacts with dilute $HNO_3$. The gas thus formed reacts with oxygen to give brown fumes of $(Y)$. $(Y)$ when dissolved in water gives an important acid $(Z)$ and the gas $(X)$. $X$ , $Y$ and $Z$ respectively are

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

$ {3Cu + 8HNO3_{(dil)} \to 3Cu(NO3)_2}$ $+\,\underset{\text{(X)}}{ {2NO}}\,+ {4H2O}$ $ {2NO +O2 <=>}$ $\underset{\text{(Y)}}{ {2NO2}}$ $\underset{\text{(Y)}}{ {3NO2}}+ {H2O} \to$ $\underset{\text{(Z)}}{ {2HNO3}}+$ $\underset{\text{(X)}}{ {NO}}$

P-Block Elements

  • P block elements are those in which the last electron enters any of the three p-orbitals of their respective shells. Since a p-subshell has three degenerate p-orbitals each of which can accommodate two electrons, therefore in all there are six groups of p-block elements.
  • P block elements are shiny and usually a good conductor of electricity and heat as they have a tendency to lose an electron. You will find some amazing properties of elements in a P-block element like gallium. It’s a metal that can melt in the palm of your hand. Silicon is also one of the most important metalloids of the p-block group as it is an important component of glass.

P block elements consist of:
