The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

$ {$\underset{\mathrm{Cold, dilute}}{ {Cl_2 + 2NaOH}}$ ->$\underset{\mathrm{sod. hypochlorite }}{ { NaCl + NaCIO + H_2O }}$ }$ $ {$\underset{\mathrm{ hot cone }}{ { 3C12 + 6NaOH}}$-> $\underset{\mathrm{ sod. chlorate}}{ {5NaCl + NaCIO3 + 3H2O }}$ }$ So sodium chloride is formed in both cases.

Notes on p -Block Elements

Concepts Used:

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:
