Which compound form linear polymer due to H-bond:
\(H_2O\)
\(NH_3\)
\(HBr\)
\(HCl\)
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Ammonia \((NH_3)\) can form linear chains or polymers through hydrogen bonding between ammonia molecules, leading to the formation of \(NH_3NH_3NH_3.….\) chains. This hydrogen bonding is responsible for some of the unique properties of ammonia, such as its high boiling and melting points.
So, the correct option is (B): \(NH_3\)

- An electron (mass \(9 \times 10^{-31}\) kg and charge \(1.6 \times 10^{-19}\) C) moving with speed \(c/100\) (\(c\) = speed of light) is injected into a magnetic field of magnitude \(9 \times 10^{-4}\) T perpendicular to its direction of motion. We wish to apply a uniform electric field \( \vec{E} \) together with the magnetic field so that the electron does not deflect from its path. (speed of light \(c = 3 \times 10^8\) m/s):

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:
- Group 13 Elements: Boron family
- Group 14 Elements: Carbon family
- Group 15 Elements: Nitrogen family
- Group 16 Elements: Oxygen family
- Group 17 Elements: Fluorine family
- Group 18 Elements: Neon family
