(a)
Interpretation:
The difference between acid salt and acid anhydride should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Acid salt is a metallic salt of an acid, whereas acid anhydride is formed by dehydration of an acid.
(b)
Interpretation:
The difference between azide and nitride should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Azide and nitride both are nitrogen containing compound.
(c)
Interpretation:
The difference between white phosphorous and red phosphorous should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The three common allotropes of phosphorous are white, red and black.
(d)
Interpretation:
The difference between ionic hydride and metallic hydride should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The binary compounds that hydrogen forms with other elements are known as hydrides. Hydrogen can form such hydrides with almost any element. However, such hydrides of noble gases are not common.

- When solid CrO3is dissolved in water, the solution is or-ange rather than the yellow of H2CrO4. How does this observa-tion indicate that CrO3is an acidic oxide?arrow_forwardNickel and copper ores are generally sulfides, whereasaluminum ore is an oxide. Explain this observation on thebasis of the hard/soft acid/base concept.arrow_forwardWhat is valence-state electronegativity? Explain the changein acidity of the oxides of Mn with changing O.N. of the metal.arrow_forward
- What is the dominant iron species in water samples ? What environmental factors may have contributed. why is it necesseyy to to investigate Fe3+ concentration and total Fe concentration dpeedtaely ? Why do we need to do the sample to determine total Fe concentration ? And how did then determine Fe2+ concentration?arrow_forwardAlkaline earth metals are involved in two key diagonal rela-tionships in the periodic table. (a) Give the two pairs of elementsin these diagonal relationships. (b) For each pair, cite two simi-larities that demonstrate the relationship. (c) Why are the mem-bers of each pair so similar in behavior?arrow_forwardBoron’s chemistry is not typical of its group.(a) Cite three ways in which boron and its compounds differ sig-nificantly from the other 3A(13) members and their compounds.(b) What is the reason for these differences?arrow_forward
- only iodine forms the heptafluoride but bromine and chlorine gives only pentafluorides.Why?arrow_forwardWhich hydrogen is more deshielded?? And why???arrow_forwardDiscuss detail account on fol soft ionization techniques:- a. chemical ionization (CI) b. atmospheric-pressure chemical ionization (APCI) c. electrospray ionization (ESI)arrow_forward
- The chemical properties of the metallic elements can be considered as arising from the ability of the elements to lose electrons to form the electron sea that binds together the cations and accounts for metallic bonding. Explain the increase in metallic character down Group 14 in terms of periodic trends.arrow_forwardAccount for the following observations: (a) H3PO3 is adiprotic acid. (b) Nitric acid is a strong acid, whereas phosphoricacid is weak. (c) Phosphate rock is ineffective as aphosphate fertilizer. (d) Phosphorus does not exist at roomtemperature as diatomic molecules, but nitrogen does.(e) Solutions of Na3PO4 are quite basicarrow_forwardArrange the following hydrides in the order of acidic strength and justify theorder: PH3, AsH3, NH3 and BiH3.arrow_forward
