The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

$\underset{\text{(Bleaching powder)}}{Ca(OCl)Cl} \to Ca^{+2} + \overset{-}{O}Cl + Cl^-$ $\underset{\text{(oxo acid}}{HOCl} {->[\Delta]} H^+ + OCl^-$ $2HOCl {->[\Delta]} H_2O + Cl_2O$ Anhydride of oxoacid $(HOCl)$ is $Cl_2O$.

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:
