Question:

A translucent white waxy solid $(A)$ reacts with excess of chlorine to give a yellowish white powder $(B)$. $(B)$ reacts with organic compounds containing $-OH$ group converting them into chloro derivatives. $(B)$ on hydrolysis gives $(C)$ and is finally converted to phosphoric acid. $(A)$, $(B)$ and $(C)$ are

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

$\underset{\text{(A)}}{ {P4}} +$$ {10Cl_2 ->}$ $\underset{\text{(B)}}{ {4PCl5}}$ $ {PCl_5 +C2H5OH -> C2H5Cl +POCl3 +HCl}$ $ {PCl5 +H2O ->}$$\underset{\text{(C)}}{ {POCl3}}+ {2HCl}$ $ {POCl3 + 3H2O -> H3PO4 +3HCl}$

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:
