Which of the following is true regarding nitric acid?

Detailed Solution for Chemistry: CUET Mock Test - 8 - Question 10

Nitric acid is a very weak reducing agent since it has a polar O – H bond. This breaks to donate the H+ ion which is why it is a strong oxidizing agent and a strong acid. Since there is only one cleavable O – H bond, the basicity of nitric acid is unity (one HNO3 molecule can donate only 1 H+ ion). It exists as a planar molecule in vapor phase.

Chemistry: CUET Mock Test - 8 - Question 11

What happens to the size of atoms of elements of p-block as we move from left to right in the same period?

Detailed Solution for Chemistry: CUET Mock Test - 8 - Question 11

The size of the atoms of the elements decrease from left to right in the same period. Considering the row to be the same, the electrons are added to the same shell. However, the increase in atomic number reflects the increase in number of protons i.e. the positive charge. Hence, the overall effective nuclear charge increases. Consequently, the electron cloud is pulled even more closer to the nucleus of the atom. Therefore, the size decreases.

Chemistry: CUET Mock Test - 8 - Question 12

Why does nitrogen show poor tendency towards catenation?

Detailed Solution for Chemistry: CUET Mock Test - 8 - Question 12

The N – N single bond is highly weak and unstable due to high magnitude of inter-electronic repulsions of non-bonding electrons which in turn is caused by the single bond’s small bond length. As a result the catenation tendency becomes weaker due to the mentioned factors leading to instability.
