Main Group Elements - Question 3

Correct order of metal ion regarding logβ value for [M-crown-6]+ in gas phase is

Detailed Solution for Main Group Elements - Question 3

In gas phase, ion tends to form stable complex with ligand having more contact point (donor atom) rather than more preference to cavity size. Hence, Na+ due to high charge density than K+ favour crown-6 more than K+ in gas phase. Correct option is (b)

Main Group Elements - Question 11

Hydrolysis of P2X4 produces an acid which have basicity _________


Detailed Solution for Main Group Elements - Question 11

Main Group Elements - Question 12

Electrophilic substitution reaction of terminal H atom attached to B in closo-1, 2 C2B10H12 follow the sequence

Detailed Solution for Main Group Elements - Question 12

Terminal H atom attached to Boron undergo facile electrophilic substitution and sequence of reactivity follow the sequence of negative charge density on B–Ht group.
More the distance from carbon = more the reactivity towards nucleophile.

Main Group Elements - Question 13


The correct statement regarding P is/are
(I) electrical conductivity decreases with increase in temperature
(II) M-graphite compounds are coloured.
(III) Mechanism of conductivity in M-graphite complexes are similar to conductivity in n-type semiconductors.
(IV) In product planarity and delocalization of layers are retained.

Detailed Solution for Main Group Elements - Question 13

Metal graphite complexes has conductivity like Metals and their conductivity decreases with increase in temperature.
These complexes have excess electron in valence band. Hence, their conductivity is due to migration of free electron.

Main Group Elements - Question 14

Match Column-A (species) with Column-B (properties related to species)

Detailed Solution for Main Group Elements - Question 14

Main Group Elements - Question 15


Correct statement regarding A is/are
(1) It has T-shaped structure
(2) 129Xe NMR spectrum show a triplet
(3) 19F NMR spectrum show four signal
(4) It has TBP geometry

Detailed Solution for Main Group Elements - Question 15
