Question:

With respect to hypochlorite, chlorate and perchlorate ions, choose the correct statement(s)

Updated On: May 13, 2024
  • The hypochlorite ion is the strongest conjugate base
  • The molecular shape of only chlorate ion is influenced by the lone pair of electrons of $Cl$
  • The hypochlorite and chlorate ions disproportionate to give rise to identical set of ions
  • The hypochlorite ion oxidizes the sulfite ion

The Correct Option is A, B, D

Solution and Explanation

In chlorate ion bond angle changes due to presence of lone pair on chlorine atom while hypochlorite ion is linear and perchlorate ion is tetrahedral and there is no effect of lone pair on hypochlorite ion.
(A)The hypochlorite ion is the strongest conjugate base
(B)The molecular shape of only chlorate ion is influenced by the lone pair of electrons of $Cl$
(D)The hypochlorite ion oxidizes the sulfite ion

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:
