Pregunta Respuesta
What are O, S, Se, Te, Po commonly called?
Naturally existing sulphates Gypsum - CaSO4.2H20 Epsom Salt - MgSO4.7.H20 Baryte - BaSO4
Naturally occurring SULPHIDES Galena - PbS Zinc blende - ZnS Copper pyrites - CuFeS2
General electronic configuration ns2 np4 (6 valence electrons)
Atomic/ Ionic radii Increases down the group (more shells)
Ionisation enthalpy (energy to remove an e-) Decreases down the group lesser than gr 15 (1/2-filled p-orbitals)
Electron gain enthalpy (energy to gain an e-) More negative to less negative
Why is the electron gain enthalpy of oxygen less (-ve) than sulphur? Compact nature of oxygen atom
Electronegativity (ability to pull an e- pair towards itself) Decreases down the group (hence metallic character increases from O to Po)
Metallic character O, S - Non-metals Se, Te - Metalloids Po - Metal
Radioactive element(s) Polonium
Melting and boiling points (trend) Increase down the group (increase in size)
Why is there a large difference between the melting and boiling points of Oxygen and Sulphur? Due to difference in atomicity Oxygen - O2 (diatomic) Sulphur - S8 (Polyatomic)
Oxidation states exhibited -2 - stability decreases down the group +2 +4 - stability increases down the group (inert pair effect) - covalent bonding +6 - stability decreases down the group - covalent bonding
When does oxygen exhibit +2 oxidation state? Oxygen has high electronegativity, hence exhibits negative ox. states (-2) In OF2 - +2
Oxidation states of S, Se, Te with O, F with oxygen - +4 with fluorine - +6
Anomalous behaviour of oxygen is due to... 1. Small size 2. High electronegativity
Why is there strong hydrogen bonding in H2O, but not in H2S? (H2O is liquid while H2S is gaseous) 1. Small size 2. High electronegativity
Covalency of Oxygen, reason Limited to 4 Absence of d-orbitals
Hydrides and their trends H2O, H2S, H2Se, H2Te, H2Po 1. Acidity -> (decrease in bond dissociation enthalpy, more ability to release H+) 2. Thermal stability -> '' 3. Strength of reducing agent -> (except H2O)
Types of oxides EO2 - reducing strength decreases down the group (SO2 reducing, TeO2 - oxidising) EO3 - S, Se, Te (both are acidic in nature)
Halides EX2, EX4, EX6
Stability of halides stability - F > Cl > Br > I
stable hexahalides and their structure hexafluorides , octahedral SF6 is most stable (steric reasons)
Structure and hybridisation of tetrafluorides sp3d - Trigonal bipyramidal with one lp in the equatorial position (SEE - SAW)
Dichlorides, dibromides Structure, hybridisation Hybridisation: sp3 Structure: Tetrahedral DIMERIC in nature (S2F2, S2Cl2, S2Br2, Se2Cl2, Se2Br2)
Disproportionation in dimeric halides +2 +4 0 2Se2Cl2 ->SeCl4 +3Se
