- Topic: Group 15 Elements
- Chapter: P-block Elements
- Number of Questions: 10
- Target: Class 12th Board Exam
Let’s Start
1. As we go down the group, metallic character
- Decreases.
- Increases.
- Remains same.
- None of these.
See Answer
Answer: 2. Increases.
Explanation: The ability of an element to lose valence electrons from top to bottom increases therefore metallic character increases.
2. Covalent radii ____________ in size down the group.
- Increases.
- Decreases.
- Remains same.
- First increase and then decrease.
See Answer
Answer: 1. Increases.
Explanation: New orbitals are added with increasing atomic numbers.
.
3. Ionisation enthalapy ____________ down the group.
- Increases.
- Remains constant.
- Decreases.
- None of these
See Answer
Answer: 3. Decreases.
Explanation: As we go down the group, size increases that’s why ionisation enthalapy decreases.
4. The electronegativity value
- Increases down the group.
- Decreases down the group.
- Remains same.
- None of these.
See Answer
Answer: 2. Decreases down the group.
Explanation: It decreases down the group because of poor shielding effect and increasing atomic size.
5. Which element of Group 15 doesn’t show allotropy
- Arsenic.
- Phosphorous.
- Bismuth.
- Nitrogen.
See Answer
Answer: 4. Nitrogen.
Explanation: Nitrogen doesn’t show allotropy because of its small size and high electronegativity.
6. Nitrogen doesn’t form pentahalide due to non-availability of
- s orbital.
- p orbital.
- d orbital
- None of these.
See Answer
Answer: 3. d orbital
Explanation: None
7. The correct order of Basicity is
- BiH3>SbH3>AsH3>PH3>NH3.
- NH3>PH3>AsH3>SbH3>BiH3.
- PH3>NH3>BiH3>SbH3>AsH3.
- None of these
See Answer
Answer: 2. NH3>PH3>AsH3>SbH3>BiH3.
Explanation: Down the group tendency to donate electrons decreases hence basicity decreases.
8. The tendency to exhibit -3 oxidation state ____________ down the group.
- Decreases.
- Increases.
- Remains same.
- None of these.
See Answer
Answer: 1. Decreases.
Explanation: Due to increase in size and metallic character.
9. Nitrogen is restricted to a maximum covalency of
- 5
- 2
- 4
- 3
See Answer
Answer: 3. 4
Explanation: Only four( one s and three p) orbitals are available for bonding.
10. The stability of hydrides from NH3 to BiH3 is
- Increases.
- Decreases.
- Remains same.
- None of these.
See Answer
Answer: 2. Decreases.
Explanation: As the size of the central atom increases, the stability decreases.
