Which of the following analogies is correct?(A) XeF2 : linear :: XeF6 : square planer(B) moist SO2 : Reducing agent :: Cl2 : bleaching agent (C) N2 : Highly reactive gas :: F2 : inert at room temperature(D) NH3 : strong base :: HI : weak acid |

Answer» Option : (B) moist SO2 : Reducing agent :: Cl2 : bleaching agent. The moist SO2 has reducing character due to evolution of nascent hydrogen. SO2 + 2H2O → H2SO4+ 2[H] Cl2 acts as bleaching agent, Cl2 + H2O → HCl+ HClO Hypochlorous acid is unstable, It easily dissociates to form nascent oxygen. HClO → HCl + [O] due to nascent oxygen it act as bleaching agent. XeF2 → Linear, but XeF6 → distorted octahedral N2 → Very less reacitive gas, and F2 highly reactive gas. NH3 → Strongbase, HI → Strong acid. |
