Group 16 (p-Block Elements)

1

Which of the following statements regarding group 16 elements is not true?

1

ASSERTION (A): By mass, oxygen is the most abundant element in the human body.
REASON (R): It is principally found as O₂ in the bloodstream.

2

Which of the following gasses is heavier than air?

2

The formation of O⁻ is ( exothermic, endothermic ), whereas the formation of O⁻² is ( exothermic, endothermic ).

1

The formation of the oxide ion, O²⁻(g), from oxygen atom requires first, and exothermic and then an endothermic reaction as shown below:
O(g) + e⁻ → O⁻(g) ; ΔfH⁻ = -141kJ mol⁻¹
O(g) + e⁻ → O²⁻(g) ; ΔfH⁻ = +780kJ mol⁻¹
Thus, process of formation of O²⁻ in gas phase is not favourable even though O²⁻ is isoelectronic with neon. It is due to the fact that:

1

ASSERTION (A): Both rhombic and monoclinic sulphur exist as S₈, but oxygen exists as O₂.
REASON (R): Oxygen forms pπ-pπ multiple bond due to small size and small bond length but pπ-pπ bonding is not possible in sulphur.

1

The allotrope of oxygen is the primary absorber of UV solar radiation in Earth's atmosphere.

1

What is the correct order of reactivity of group 16 elements?

1

The hybridisation state of the central atom and shape of the molecules is given below. Mark the incorrect combination.

1

What is the hybridisation state and oxidation state of sulphur in Caro's acid?

2

Choose the correct order(s) of hydrolysis at room temperature.

1

What is the general outer electronic configuration of the Oxygen family?

1

The ratio of sulphur in SO₂ and SO₃ molecules is 2:1.

1

Oxidation number of S in S₂Cl₂ is .

1

Name this oxoacid which is also know as Oleum.

1

Sulphuric acid has:

3
