Account for the following: Oxygen shows catenation behavior less than sulphur.
Advertisements
उत्तर
Sulphur shows catenation behavior more than that of oxygen because the oxygen atom is smaller in size as compared to sulphur, the O-O bonds in oxygen experiences repulsions due to the lone pairs present on oxygen atom and therefore, are weaker as compared to the S-S bonds.

Which of the following statement is incorrect?
Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The boiling point of hydrides of Group 16 elements follows the order:
H2O > H2Te > H2Se > H2S
Statement II: On the basis of molecular mass, H2O is expected to have a lower boiling point than the other members of the group but due to the presence of extensive H-bonding in H2O, it has a higher boiling point.
