The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

When KClO is heated with conc. HCl, a mixture of chlorine and chlorine dioxide is obtained [called Euchlorine]. $[KClO_3 + HCl \to KCl + HClO_3 ] ??2$ $2HClO_3 + 2HCl \to 2ClO_2 + Cl_2 + 2H_2O$ $2KClO_3 + 4HCl \to 2KCl + 2ClO_2 + Cl_2 + 2H_2O$

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:
