Question:

Which of the statements given below is incorrect ?

Updated On: Jul 13, 2024
  • ONF is isoelectronic with $O_2 N^-$
  • $OF_2$ is an oxide of fluorine
  • $Cl_2O_7$ is an anhydride of perchloric acid
  • $O_3$ molecule is bent

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

i) No. of electron in ONF = 24
No. of electron in ${NO_2^{-} = 24$
both are isoelectronic
(ii) ${OF_2}$ is a fluoride of oxygen not oxide of fluorine because EN of fluorine is more than oxygen
${OF_2}$ = oxygen difluoride
(iii) ${Cl_2O_7}$ is an anhydride of perchloric acid
${2HClO_4 ->[\Delta][-H_2O] Cl_2 O_7}$
(iv) ${O_3} $ molecule is bent

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:
