The stability of hydrogen halides is in the order of:

  1. $HF>HI>HBr>HCl$

  2. $HI>HBr>HCl>HF$

  3. $HF>HCl>HBr>HI$

  4. $HCl>HBr>HI>HF$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Due to large difference in electronegativity of upper halogens and hydrogen, they are more stable than lower hydrogen halide.
$\therefore $ Stability order: $HF>HCl>HBr>HI$.

The hydride ion, $H^{-}$ is a stronger base than its hydroxide ion $OH^{-}$. Which of the following reactions will occur, if sodium hydride $(NaH)$ is dissolved in water?

  1. $H^{-} _{\left ( aq \right )}+H _{2}O\rightarrow H _{3}O^{-}$

  2. $H^{-} _{\left ( aq \right )}+H _{2}O _{\left ( l \right )}\rightarrow OH^{-}+H _{2}$

  3. $H^{-}+H _{2}O _{(l)}\rightarrow\ no\ reaction$

  4. $None\ of\ the\ above$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Sodium hydride $(NaH)$ react with water to form hydrogen gas and the sodium hydroxide $(NaOH)$.
$NaH+H _2O\rightarrow H _2+NaOH$
i.e., $Na^+, H^-$ and $H^+, OH^- $ give rise to $H _2$ and $NaOH$. So, it is similar to option B.

According to recent views, which is the current representation of hydrated proton in aqueous solution?

  1. $H^{+}$

  2. $H _{9}O _{5}^{+}$

  3. $H _{9}O _{4}^{+}$

  4. $H _{3}O^+$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The hydrated proton is represented as $H _3O^+$. Hence, the correct option is $D$.

Which of the following metals directly combine with hydrogen gas to give a hydride? 

  1. Au

  2. Ni

  3. Ca

  4. Cu


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Amongst, $Au$, $Ni$, $Ca$ and $Cu$, $Ca$ is the most reactive metal. So it easily combines with $H _2$ to form hydride while the other metals do not combine directly.


The reaction can be given as:-
$Ca+H _2\longrightarrow CaH _2$

What is the trend of boiling points of hydrides of N, O, and F?

  1. Due to lower molecular masses $NH _{3}, H _{2}O$ and HF have lower boiling points than those of the subsequent group member hydrides

  2. Due to higher electronegativity of N, O and F; $NH _{3}, H _{2}O$ and HF show hydrogen bonding and hence higher boiling points than the hydrides of their subsequent group members.

  3. There is no regular trend in the boiling points of hydrides

  4. Due to higher oxidation states of N, O and F, the boiling points of $NH _{3}, H _{2}O$ and HF are higher than the hydrides of their subsequent group members.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The boiling point increases with increase in molecular masses. But in the case of $N, O$ and $F$ they show the higher boiling point in molecules. 

This is due to the higher electronegativity of $N, O$ and $F$ which leads to hydrogen bonding in $NH _3, H _2O$ and $HF$ due to which the boiling point of these increases & is higher than the hydrides of their subsequent group members.

Which of the following hydrides is electron-precise hydride?

  1. $B _2H _6$

  2. $NH _3$

  3. $H _2O$

  4. $CH _4$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Methane $CH _4$ is electron-precise hydride.
Diborane $B _2H _6$ is electron-deficient hydride
Ammonia $NH _3$ and water $H _2O$ are electron-rich hydrides.

Elements of group 14 form electron-precise (having required number of electrons to write the Lewis structure ) form precise hydrides.

Non-stoichiometric hydrides are produced by:

  1. palladium, vanadium

  2. manganese, lithium

  3. nitrogen, filorine

  4. carbon, nockel


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The hydrogen deficient compounds formed by the reaction of $d-block$ and $f-block$ elements with dihydrogen are called Non-stoichiometric compounds. 

The d-block and f-block element form non-stoichiometric hydride because of the vacant d- and f-orbitals along with the small size.
Their elemental composition proportions cannot be represented in integers. They disobey the law of constant composition. Among the elements given, only vanadium and palladium form non-stoichiometric hydrides.


Answer: (A) palladium, vanadium

From group 6 only one metal forms hydride. This metal is:

  1. Mo

  2. W

  3. Cr

  4. Co


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The low affinity of the elements of the group $6,7,8$ and $9$ towards hydrogen in their normal oxidation states prevent the formation of hydrides. This is called as hydride gap. 

In the group, $6$, Chromium $(Cr)$ is an exception as it is the only group $6$ element to form a hydride.

Answer: $(Cr)$

Only one element of ________ forms hydride.

  3. group 8

  4. group 9


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The only element of group $6$ i.e. Chromium $(Cr)$ forms hydride. The other elements do not form hydride due to low affinity towards hydrogen.


Answer: (A) group $6$

  3. Groups 15, 16, 17

  4. Group 14

  4. $(A)\rightarrow (iii), (B)\rightarrow (ii), (C)\rightarrow (i) (D)\rightarrow (iv)$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
NaH is an ionic compound and is made of sodium cations $\left ( Na^{+} \right )$ and hydride anions $\left ( H^{-} \right )$. It has the octahedral crystal structure with each sodium ion surrounded by six hydride ions.

$CH _{4}$ forms molecular or covalent hydrides. These are mainly formed by p - block elements and some s - block elements.

The third compound has an oxidation number of hydrogen which is zero. So it belongs to Interstitial hydride.

In $B _{2}H _{6}$ the Boron atom is surrounded by 6 electrons, so it is electron deficient due to its incomplete octet.

The correct option is D.
