The I. E. of group 15 is much larger than that of group 14 because of

  1. the smaller size

  2. the half filled p - orbitals

  3. high electronegativity

  4. none of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Ans : 2.

In the fifteenth group of the periodic table, there is a considerable increase in the covalent radius from N to P, but from As to Bi, there is only a small increase. The reason is

  1. shielding effect

  2. completely filled d and f orbitals in heavier members

  3. ionisation energy

  4. electronegativity


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Ans : 2.

Out of all the elements of group15, only nitrogen can form multiple bonds due to

Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Ans : 3.

Nitrogen does not show covalency greater than four because

Water is a liquid, while hydrogen sulphide is a gas at room temperature. The reason is

  1. that the size of oxygen is smaller than that of sulphur

  2. that sulphur can expand its valency

  3. the anomalous behaviour of oxygen

  4. the tendency of water molecules to form hydrogen bonds


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Water is a liquid, while hydrogen sulphide is a gas at room temperature because water molecules have the tendency to form hydrogen bonds. Due to hydrogen bonding, the force of attraction becomes stronger, but there is no hydrogen bonding in H2S.
