Deficiency Defect,
Zinc oxide is white in colour at
room temperature. On heating
it turns yellow.
On heating it loses oxygen, The excess Zn2+ ions move to
interstitial sites and the electrons to neighbouring interstitial
sites
Frenkel Defect: Cation is dislocated to an interstitial site. It does not change
the density of the solid. Frenkel defect is shown by ionic
substance in which there is a large difference in the size of
ions. Eg ZnS, AgCl, AgBr and AgI due to small size of Zn2+ and
Ag+ ions.
Schottky Defect A vacancy defect. The number of missing cations and anions
are equal. Schotky defect is shown by ionic substance in which
there is a small difference in the size of ions.Density
decreases. Eg NaCl, KCl, CsCl and AgBr.
Metal excess defect due to
anionic vacancies (F-centres )
When NaCl heated in an atmosphere of Na vapour, the Na
atoms deposit on the surface of the crystal. The Cl– ions
diffuse to the surface of the crystal and combine with Na
atoms to give NaCl. The
released electrons diffuse into the crystal and occupy anionic
sites . The anionic sites occupied by unpaired electrons are
called F-centres .They impart yellow colour to the crystals of
NaCl. Similarly, excess of lithium makes LiCl crystals pink and
excess of potassium makes KCl crystals violet (or lilac).
Doping The conductivity of intrinsic semiconductors is increased by
adding an appropriate amount of suitable impurity. This
process is called doping.
n / p -type semiconductors n- type : Si (14th Gp) + As, Sb or Bi (15th Gp)
p-type: Si(14th Gp) + B ,Ga , In or Tl(13th Gp)
13 –15 compounds
12–16 compounds
13 – 15 compounds: InSb, AlP and GaAs.
12 – 16 compounds :ZnS, CdS, CdSe and HgTe
Paramagnetic substances Weakly attracted by a magnetic field. Atoms of these
substances have unpaired electrons. Examples: O2, Cu2+, Fe3+,
Cr3+
Diamagnetic substances Weakly repelled by a magnetic field. Atoms of these
substances have paired electrons.
Eg: H2O, NaCl and C6H6
Ferromagnetism: Strongly attracted by external magnetic field.Domains are
oriented in same direction resulting in combined magnetic
moment. Eg iron, cobalt, nickel, gadolinium and CrO2.They are
attracted very strongly by a magnetic field.
DAV CENTENARY PUBLIC SCHOOL, PASCHIM ENCLAVE, NEW DELHI - 87
Page 3
Antiferromagnetism Domains oppositely oriented and cancel out magnetic moment.
Eg MnO.
Ferrimagnetism: Domains aligned in parallel and anti-parallel directions in
unequal numbers.Lose ferrimagnetism on heating and become
paramagnetic. Example: Fe3O4 (magnetite)
Conductors solids with conductivities ranging from 104 to 107 S m–1.
valence band is only partially filled or it overlapsa vacant
conduction band of slightly higher energy. electrons can easily
flow under the influence of electric field
Insulators conductivities ranging from 10–20 to 10–10 S m–1. the gap
between the valence band and conduction band is large. Due to
this the valence electrons cannot jump to the conduction band
and conduct electricity.
Semiconductors intermediate conductivities ranging from 10–6 to 104 S m–1. the
gap between the valence band and nearest conduction band is
small. On applying the electric field, some electrons can jump
to the conduction band and provide low conductivity.
SOLUTIONS
Solid Solutions Gas in solid Solution of hydrogen in palladium
Liquid in solid Amalgam of mercury with sodium
Temp. Vs Conc.
Mass %, ppm, mole fraction and molality are independent of
temperature,
whereas molarity depends on temperature. This is because volume
depends on temperature.

Henry‘s law.
Mole fraction of gas in the solution is proportional to the partial
pressure of the gas
over the solution.
The partial pressure of the gas in vapour phase (p) is proportional to the
mole fraction
of the gas (x) in the solution.
p = KH . x
KH = Henry‘s law constant
( greater the KH value, lower the solubility.)
Different gases have different KH values at the same
temperature
Application of
Henry‘s law.
1.To increase the solubility of CO2 in soft drinks, the bottle is sealed
under high pressure.
2. To avoid bends, the tanks used by scuba divers are filled with air
diluted with helium.
Temp and Solubilty
of gas
Solubility of gas increases with decrease of temperature. It is due to
this reason that aquatic species are more comfortable in cold waters
rather than in warm waters.
Raoult‘s law for
volatile liquids
For a solution of volatile liquids,
The partial vapour pressure of each component in the solution is directly
proportional to its mole fraction. PA α xA pA = pA0 xA
Where pA0 is the vapour pressure of pure component A at the same
temperature.
Similarly, for component B
PB = pB0 xB
where pB0 represents the vapour pressure of the pure component B.

Negative deviations : Forces between A-A and B-B are weaker than
those between A-B

constant temp.

Colligative properties
Properties that depend upon the number of particles of solute and not
on the nature of solute. e.g. Elavation of boiling point, depression of
fruzing point.
Relative Lowering of
Vapour Pressure

P0A = vapour pressure of solvent.
PA = vapour pressure of solution.

XB = mole fraction of solute.
Boiling Point and
Freezing Point
Boiling point of a liquid is the temperatures at which the vapour pressure
of the liquid becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure.
Freezing point is the temperature at which the solid and the liquid forms
of the substance have the same vapour pressure.
Elevation of Boiling
Point
ΔTb = elevation in boiling point,
Kb = molal elevation constant
Molal elevation constant is the elevation in boiling point when one mole of
solute is dissolved in one kilogram of the solvent.
MB = molecular weight of solute,
WB = weight of solute

WA = weight of solvent
m = molality
Depression of
Freezing Point
ΔTf = depression in freezing point,
Kf = molal depression constant
Molal depression constant or molal cryoscopic constant for the solvent
Kf may be defined as the depression in freezing point of a solution when
one mole of a solute is dissolved in 1 kilogram of the solvent.
MB = molecular weight of solute,
WB = weight of solute
WA = weight of solvent
m = molality
Osmosis Solvent flows through the semi permeable membrane from pure solvent
to the solution.
Osmotic pressure The extra pressure applied on the solution that just stops the flow of
solvent is called osmotic pressure of the solution
Osmotic pressure(π)

R = gas constant
T = Temperature in Kelvin
RT , RT
where C is concentration of solution.
Isotonic solutions Two solutions having same osmotic pressure
Hypertonic Higher osmotic pressure than a particular soln
Hypotonic Lower osmotic pressure than a particular soln
Reverse Osmosis
The direction of osmosis can be reversed if a pressure larger than the
osmotic pressure is applied to the solution side. That is, now the pure
solvent flows out of the solution.
Application : Desalination of sea water
Abnormal Colligative
Properties.
Sometimes while measuring colligative properties abnormal results are
obtained due to the following reasons :
In case of association two or more solute molecules associate to form a
DAV CENTENARY PUBLIC SCHOOL, PASCHIM ENCLAVE, NEW DELHI - 87
Page 7
bigger molecule. The number of effective molecules in the solution,
therefore decreases.
Consequently, the value of the collgative property (relative lowering of
vapour pressure, elevation of boiling point, depression of freezing point,
osmotic pressure) is observed to be less than that calculated on the
basis of unassociated molecules.
In case of dissociation of the solute in the solution, the number of
effective solute particles increases. In such cases the value of the
observed collgative property will be greater than that calculated on the
basis of undissociated solute particles.

Faraday‘s 1st Laws
The amount of chemical reaction which occurs at any electrode during
electrolysis is proportional to the quantity of electricity passed through
the electrolyte (solution or melt).
Faraday‘s 2nd Laws
The amounts of different substances liberated by the same quantity of
electricity passing through the electrolytic solution are proportional to
their chemical equivalent weights (Atomic Mass of Metal ÷ Number of
electrons required to reduce the cation).

Rate expression
Rate law is the expression in which reaction rate is given in terms of
molar concentration of reactants with each term raised to some
power, which may
or may not be same as the stoichiometric coefficient of the reacting
species in a balanced chemical equation.
For
aA + bB → cC + Dd
The rate expression for this reaction is :
Rate α [A]x [B]y => Rate = k [A]x [B]y
k is the Rate const. (x , y from expts)
Order of a Reaction
(Has to get from expt.
Not from balanced
equation.)
The sum of powers of the concentration of the reactants in the rate
law expression is called the order of that chemical reaction.
If Rate = k [A]x [B]y ( x and y found out experimentally)
Order = x + y
Elementary reactions The reactions taking place in one step are called Elementary
Reactions.
Unit of rate constant
For n th order reaction : mol1-n Ln-1 s-1
Molecularity of a
Reaction
The number of reacting species taking part in an elementary reaction,
which must collide simultaneously in order to bring about a chemical
reaction is called molecularity of a reaction (values are limited from
1 to 3)
Rate Determining Step The overall rate of the reaction is controlled by the slowest step in a
reaction called the rate determining step
Half-life (t1/2) The half-life of a reaction is the time in which the concentration of a
DAV CENTENARY PUBLIC SCHOOL, PASCHIM ENCLAVE, NEW DELHI - 87
Page 13
reactant is reduced to one half of its initial concentration. It is
represented as t1/2.

For zero order : t1/2 α [R]0.
For first order reaction t1/2 is independent of [R]0
Example of Zero Order
Reactions
The decomposition of gaseous ammonia on a hot platinum surface is a
zero order reaction at high pressure.
Rate = k [NH3]0 = k
Radioactive decay All natural and artificial radioactive decay of unstable nuclei take
place by first order kinetics
Pseudo First Order
Reaction
When one of two reactants is present in large excess. During the
hydrolysis of 0.01 mol of ethyl acetate with 10 mol of water The
concentration of water does not get altered much during the course
of the reaction and the reaction behaves as first order reaction.
Such reactions are called pseudo first order reactions.
Activation Energy Activation energy is given by the energy difference between
activated complex and the reactant molecules.
Arrhenius equation
k = A e -Ea /RT (exponential form)
ln k = – Ea/RT + ln A (logarithmic form)
A is the Arrhenius factor or the frequency factor or pre-
exponential factor
e -Ea /RT The factor e -Ea /RT corresponds to the fraction of molecules that
have kinetic energy greater than Ea
If k1 and k2 are rate
constants at
T1 and T2
Action of catalyst Catalyst provides an alternate pathway or reaction mechanism by
reducing the activation energy between reactants and products and
DAV CENTENARY PUBLIC SCHOOL, PASCHIM ENCLAVE, NEW DELHI - 87

hence lowering the potential energy barrier.
Collision frequency (Z)
The number of collisions per second per unit volume of the reaction
mixture.
For A + B → Products Rate = P.ZAB e−Ea/ RT
P is probability or steric factor ZAB is collision frequency of
reactants, A and B.
SURFACE CHEMISTRY
Adsorption Accumulation of molecular species at the surface rather
than in the bulk of a solid or liquid.
Adsorbate & Adsorbent. The substance adsorbed is called adsorbate. And the
surface provider is called adsorbent.
Desorption. The process of removing an adsorbed substance from a
surface.
Adsorption and Absorption In adsorption, the substance is concentrated only at the
surface while in absorption, the substance is uniformly
distributed throughout the bulk of the solid.
Sorption Both adsorption and absorption can take place
simultaneously.
Enthalpy of adsorption Adsorption is exothermic ΔH is -ve.
There is decrease in entropy, ΔS is -ve.
For a process to be spontaneous, ΔG must be negative,
so ΔH should have sufficiently high-ve value.
Surface area & Adsorption Adsorption increases with the increase of surface area
of the adsorbent. Thus, finely
divided metals and porous substances having large
surface areas are good adsorbents.
Physisorption van der Waals‘ forces / not specific /reversible /easily
liquefiable gases adsorbed readily./ Enthalpy of
adsorption is low/ Low temperature is favourable /

Adsorption Isotherm Variation of amount of gas adsorbed by the adsorbent
with pressure at constant temperature can be
expressed by means of a curve termed as adsorption
isotherm.

Homogeneous catalysis Reactants and the catalyst are in the same phase.eg
Lead Chamber Process of manufacture os sulphuric acid.
Heterogeneous catalysis Reactants and the catalyst are in different phases.eg
contact process of manufacture of sulphuric acid.
Activity of a solid catalyst Depends upon strength of chemisorption Reactants must
get adsorbed reasonably strongly.
Selectivity of a catalyst The selectivity of a catalyst is its ability to direct a
reaction to yield a particular product.
Promoters and poisons Promoters are substances that enhance the activity of a
catalyst while poisons decrease the activity of a
catalyst. For example, in Haber‘s process for
manufacture of ammonia, molybdenum acts as a
promoterfor iron which is used as a catalyst.
Shape- Selective Catalysis by
Zeolites
Depends upon the pore structure of the catalyst and the
size of the reactant and product molecules. Example:-
ZSM-5 (a zeolite) converts alcohols directly into
gasoline (petrol).
Characteristics of enzyme catalysis Highly efficient/ Highly specific / active under optimum
temperature& pH/ Increasing activity in presence of
activators and co-enzymes/ Influence of inhibitors and
poisons

Colloids A colloid is a heterogeneous system in which one
substance is
dispersed (dispersed phase) as very fine particles in
another substance
called dispersion medium.
Diameters of the colloid particles is between 1 and
1000 nm.
Lyophilic colloids Liquid-loving/ can be reconstituted/ reversible/easily
prepared/stable/ eg- gum, starch.
Lyophobic colloids Liquid-hating/ not be reconstituted/ irreversible/
prepared by special methods/ precipitated on addition
of electrolytes/heating/shaking/ not stable./ eg –metal
sols , sulphide sols.
Multimolecular colloids Large number of atoms or molecules of a substance
aggregate eg- gold sol , sulphur sol.
Macromolecular colloids Macromolecules in suitable solvents. Eg-starch, cellulose,
proteins and enzymes; polythene.
Associated colloids (Micelles) Substances at low conc behave as strong electrolytes,
but at high conc exhibit colloidal behaviour due to the
formation of aggregates(micelles.) eg- soaps and
detergents.
Kraft Temperature (Tk) Formation of micelles takes place only above a particular
temperature.
CMC Formation of micelles takes place only above a particular
conc.- critical micelle concentration.
For soaps, the CMC is 10-3mol/l to 10-4 mol/l
Cleansing action of soaps Soap molecules form micelle around the oil droplet in
such a way that hydrophobic part of the stearate ions is
in the oil droplet and hydrophilic part projects out of
the grease droplet like the bristles . Since the polar
groups can interact with water, the oil droplet
surrounded by stearate ions is now pulled in water and
removed from the dirty surface.
Electrical disintegration or
Bredig‘sArc method
This process involves dispersion as well as condensation.
Colloidal sols of metals such as gold, silver, platinum,
etc., can be prepared.
Electric arc is struck between
electrodes of the metal immersed in the dispersion
medium
DAV CENTENARY PUBLIC SCHOOL, PASCHIM ENCLAVE, NEW DELHI - 87
Page 17
The intense heat produced vapourises the metal,
which then condenses to form particles of colloidal size.
Peptization Process of converting a ppt into colloid by shaking it
with dispersion medium in the presence of a small
amount of electrolyte. The electrolyte used for this
purpose is called peptizing agent.
Dialysis: Removal of dissolved substance from colloidal by
diffusion through a suitable membrane.
Tyndall effect Colloidal particles scatter light in all directions.
Scattering of light illuminates the path of beam of the
light.
Conditions for Tyndall effect (i) Diameter of particles is not much smaller than
wavelength of the light used;
(ii) Refractive indices of the phase and medium
differ greatly in magnitude
Charge on colloidal particles +ve charged sols Hydrated metallic oxides e.g.,
Al2O3.xH2O, CrO3.xH2O andFe2O3.xH2O,
etc.,/methylene blue sol. /Haemoglobin (blood)
-ve charged sols Metals,/ sulphides e.g., As2S3,
Sb2S3, CdS sols. / eosin, congo red / starch, gum,
gelatin, clay,charcoal.
Origin of charge on colloidal particles Preferential adsorption of ions . The sol particles
acquire positive or negative charge by preferential
adsorption of +ve or –ve ions. When two or more ions are
present in the dispersion medium, preferential
adsorption of the ion common to the colloidal particle
usually takes place.
When silver nitrate solution is added to potassium iodide
solution,the precipitated silver iodide adsorbs iodide
ions from the dispersion medium and negatively charged
colloidal solution results. AgI/I– , Fe2O3.xH2O/Fe3+
However,when KI solution is added to AgNO3 solution,
positively charged sol results due to adsorption of Ag+
ions from dispersion medium. AgI/Ag+
Zeta potential The combination of the two layers of opposite charges
around the colloidal particle is called Helmholtz
electrical double layer.
Potential difference between the fixed layer and the
diffused layer is called Zeta Potential.
Electrophoresis The movement of colloidal particles under an electric
DAV CENTENARY PUBLIC SCHOOL, PASCHIM ENCLAVE, NEW DELHI - 87
Page 18
potential is called electrophoresis.
Electroosmosis If electrophoresis is prevented , it is observed that the
dispersion medium begins to move in an electric field.
Coagulation(ppt) The stability of the lyophobic sols is due to the
presence of charge on colloidal particles. If, somehow,
the charge is removed, the particles will come nearer to
each other to form aggregates (or coagulate) and settle
down under the force of gravity.
The process of settling of colloidal particles is called
coagulation or precipitation of the sol.
Reason of Coagulation Electrophoresis/mix oppositely charged
sols/boiling/persistent dialysis/addition of electrolytes.
Hardy-Schulze rule The greater the valence of the flocculating ion added,
the greater is its power to cause precipitation.
For coagulation of a negative sol, : Al3+>Ba2+>Na+
For coagulation of a negative sol :[Fe(CN)6]4– > PO4

Emulsions Liquid-liquid colloida (i) Oil dispersed in water (O/W
type) - milk and vanishing cream .
(ii) Water dispersed in oil (W/O type).- butter and
cream.
Demulsification Emulsions can be broken into constituent liquids by
heating, freezing, centrifuging, etc.
Artificial Rain By throwing electrified sand , spraying a sol of opposite
charge to the clouds from aeroplane
Formation of Delta River water is a colloidal solution of clay. Sea water
contains a number of electrolytes. When river water
meets the sea water, the electrolytes present in sea
water coagulate the colloidal solution of clay resulting in
its deposition.
Electrical precipitation of
smoke(Cottrellppter)
The smoke, before it comes out from the chimney, is led
through a chamber containing plates having a charge
opposite to that carried by smoke particles. The
particles on coming in contact with these plates lose
their charge and get precipitated.

Ore The mineral from which a metal can be profitably and conveniently extracted
is called ore.i.e. All ores are minerals but all minerals are not ores.
Gangue / Matrix: Earthly or undesired materials present in mineral are called gangue
Metallurgy:
The entire scientific and technological process used for isolation of the
metal from its ores is known as metallurgy.

Concentration of ore
Conversion to oxide Reduction Refining
Hydraulic
washing:
In this method, the light (low specific gravity) earthy impurities are removed
from the heavier metallic ore particles by washing with water. It is
therefore, used for the concentration of heavier oxide ores, like haematite
(Fe2O3 ) tinstone (SnO2 ) and gold (Au).
Magnetic
separation
This is based on difference in magnetic properties of the ore component.
Froth floatation
method
It is based on the difference in the wetting qualities of the gangue and
sulfide ore particles with water and oil. Where as the ore particles are
wetted by oil, the gangue particles are wetted by water.
Collectors enhance non-wet ability of the mineral particles. e.g. Pine oil, fatty acid,
xanthates, etc
Froth
stabilizers
stabilizes the forth e.g. Cresol, aniline, etc.
Depressants are reagents used to suppress or depress the formation of forth.
For example, ZnS and PbS can be separated from each other in the forth
floatation process by the addition of small amounts of NaCN which act as
depresent.
NaCN selectively prevents ZnS from coming to the froth by forming soluble
complex But allows PbS to come with the froth.

Calcination and
Roasting.
Hydro
metallurgy
Calcinaton involves heating when the volatile matter escapes leaving behind
the metal oxide.
In roasting, the ore is heated in a regular supply of air in a furnace at a
temperature below the melting point of the metal.
If the ore contains iron, it is mixed with silica before heating.Iron oxide
‗slags of ‘* as iron silicate and
copper is produced in the form of copper matte which contains Cu2S and
FeS.
flux ‘ is added which combines with ‗ gangue ‗ to form ‗ slag ‗.
Slag separates more easily from the ore than the gangue.
Copper is extracted by hydrometallurgy from low grade ores. It is leached
out using acid or bacteria. The solution containing Cu2+ is treated with scrap

iron or H2
To displace Zn from solution of Zn2+ ions, we need more reactive elements
such as Al, Mg, Ca and K.
But all these metals react with water forming their corresponding ions with
the evolution of H2 gas.
Thus Al, Mg, etc. cannot be used to displace Zn from solution of Zn2+ ions.
Thus, copper can be extracted by hydrometallurgy but not zinc.
Electro

[For highly
reactive metals]
Highly reactive metals can be isolated from their ores by the process of
electrometallurgy.
The strongest possible reducing agent is an electron; any ionic material can
be reduced to their respective metal by electrolysis.

The process of converting metal oxide in to metal upon strong heating with a
suitable reducing agent is known as pyro metallurgy.

Principles of
Metallurgy
When the value of ∆G is negative only then the reaction will proceed. If ∆S
is positive, on increasing the temperature (T), the value of T∆S would
increase (∆H < T∆S) and then ∆G will become –ve.
If reactants and products of two reactions are put together (coupling)in a
system and the net ∆G of the two possible reactions is –ve, the overall
reaction will occur. The graphical representation of Gibbs energy was first
used by Ellingham.
This provides a sound basis for considering the choice of reducing agent in
the reduction of oxides. This is known as Ellingham Diagram.
Extraction of
iron from its
oxides
Oxide ores of iron, after concentration through calcination/roasting are

(c) Electrolysis (d) Zone refining
(e) Vapour phase refining (f ) Chromatographic methods
Distillation This method is employed for purification of volatile metals ( Zn, Hg, Cd ) by
heating the ore followed by condensation
Liquation : This method is used when the M.P of the metals are lower than those of the
impurities.
e.g. low melting metal – Sn

Anode : Impure metal ( Cu ) Cathode: Pure metal ( Cu )
Electrolyte : Soluble salt of same metal

The more basic metal remains in the solution and the less basic ones go to
the anode mud.
Copper is refined using an electrolytic method
Impurities from the blister copper deposit as anode mud which contains
antimony, selenium, tellurium, silver, gold and platinum.
Zone refining Principle-The impurities are more soluble in the melt than in the solid state
of the metal.
A circular mobile heater is fixed at one end of a rod of the impure metal.
The molten zone moves along with the heater which is moved forward. As the
heater moves forward, the pure metal crystallises out of the melt and the
impurities pass on into the adjacent molten zone.
At one end, impurities get concentrated. This end is cut off. This method is
very useful for producing semiconductor and other metals of very high
purity, e.g., germanium, silicon, boron,gallium and indium.
Vapour phase refining
Principle:-The metal is converted into its volatile compound and collected
elsewhere. It is then decomposed to give pure metal.

Chromato graphic methods
This method is based on the principle that different components of a
mixture are differently adsorbed on an adsorbent. The mixture is put in a
liquid or gaseous medium which is moved through the adsorbent.
Aluminium In the metallurgy of aluminium, purified Al2O3 is mixed with Na3AlF6 or CaF2
which lowers the melting point of the mix and brings conductivity.
The fused matrix is electrolysed. Steel cathode and graphite anode are used.
The graphite anode is useful here for reduction to the metal.
The oxygen liberated at anode reacts with the carbon of anode producing CO
and CO2.

The maximum number of
covalent bonds formed by
nitrogen is 4. Why
Nitrogen has three unpaired electrons and one lone pair of
electrons; therefore, it can form three covalent bonds and one
co-ordinate bond.
Give reasons for the least
reactivity of nitrogen
molecule?
Due to presence of a triple bond between the two N-atoms, the
bond dissociation enthalpy (941.4 KJ mol-1) is very high. Hence N2
is least reactive.
Though nitrogen exhibits +5
oxidation state, it does not
form pentahalide. Give
reason.
Nitrogen does not have d orbitals to expand its covalence beyond
four. That is why it does not form pentahalide
In trimethyl amine, the
nitrogen has a pyramidal
geometry whereas in
trisilylamine N (SiH3)3 ,it
has a planar geometry.
(CH3)3 N is pyramidal due to sp3 hybridization and has a lone pair
of electrons. (SiH3)3 N has sp2 hybridization because lone pair of
nitrogen is donated to vacant d-orbitalof Si.
Why is NH3 a good
complexing agent?
NH3 is a good complexing agent because nitrogen has a lone pair
of electrons which it can donate to form co-ordinate bond.
On being slowly passed
through water, PH3 forms
bubbles but NH3 dissolves.
Why is it so?
N-H bond is more polar than P-H bond. Hence, NH3 forms
hydrogen bonds with H2 Omolecules and hence dissolves in it
whereas PH3 does not dissolve and forms bubbles.
Why does NO2 dimerise? NO2 contains odd number of valence electrons. On dimerisation,
it is converted to a stable N2O4 molecule with even number of
electrons.
Why does PCI3 fume in
moisture?
PCI3 hydrolysis in the presene of moisture giving fumes of HCl.
Why is nitrous acid oxidant
as well as reductant?
The oxidation state of N in nitrous acid (H-O-N) is +3 whick lies
in between its lowest oxidation state of -3 and highest oxidation
state of +5. Since the oxidation state of N in (HNO2) can be
decreased from +3 to any lower value, therefore, it acts as an
oxidizing agent.
Further since the oxidation state of N in HNO2 can be
increased from +3 to +4 or +5, therefore, it acts as a reducing
agent. Thus, nitrous acid acts both as an oxidant as well as a
reductant.
Why are the Group 16 Chalcogens means ore forming. The elements of Group 16 are

Why is F2O referred to as a

Noble gases have largest
radii. Explain.
In noble gases, we can measure only van der Waals‘ radii which
are larger than covalent radii
How does xenon atom form
compounds with fluorine
even though the xenon atom
has a closed shell
configuration?
This is because 1, 2 or 3 electrons from the 5p-orbitals can be
excited to empty 5d-orbitals thus making 2, 4 or 6 half-filled
orbitals available for bond formation
What prompted Bartlett to
prepare first noble gas
compounds.
Barlett observed ionization of energy of O2 is 1180 kJ mol-1
whereas that of Xe is 1170 kJ mol-1.
He could prepare O2 pt F6 which prompted him to prepare
first noble gas compound Xe+ [Pt F6].
Noble gases have very low
boiling points. Why?
Noble gases being monoatomic have no interatomic forces except
weak dispersion forces and therefore, they are liquefied at very
low temperatures. Hence, they have low boiling points.

H3PO2 and H3PO3 act as as
good reducing agents while
H3PO4 does not.
Both H3 PO2 and H3PO3 have P-H bonds, so they act as reducing
agents, but H3PO4, has no P-H bonds, so it cannot act as a
reducing agent.
ICI is more reactive than I2 Because ICI has less bond dissociation enthalpy than I2.
NH3 is a stronger base than
PH3
This is because the lone pair of electrons on N atom in NH3 is
directed and not diffused as it is in PH3 due to larger size of
phosphorus and hence more available for donation.
Sulphur has a greater
tendency for catenation
than oxygen.
Sulphur has a greater tendency for catenation than oxygen
because W-S bond is stronger than O-O bond due to less
interelectronic repulsions.
Bond dissociation energy of
F2 is less than that of CI2
This is due to relatively large electron- electron repulsion among
the lone pairs in F2 molecule where they are much closer to each
other than in case of CI2.
SF4 is easily hydrolysed
whereas SF6 is not easily
hydrolysed.
S atom in SF4 is not sterically protected as it is surrounded by
only four F atoms, so attack of H2O molecules can take place
easily and hence hydrolysis takes place easily. In contract, in SF6,
S is sterically protected by six F atoms. Therefore does not allow
H2O molecules to attack S atoms. As a result of this, SF6 does
not undergo hydrolysis.
XeF2 has a straight linear
structure and not a bent
angular structure
In Xe F2, Xe is sp3d hybridized having 2 bond pair and 3 lone pair
of electrons. The presence of 3 lone of electrons in Xe F2 at
equidistance to have minimum repulsion is responsible for its
linear structure.
NCl3 gets readily
hydrolysed while NF3 does
not.
In NCI3, CI has vacant d-orbitals to accept the lone pair of
electrons donated by O-atom of H2O molecule but in NF3, F does
not have d-orbitals
Elemental nitrogen exists as
a diatomic molecule whereas
elemental phosphorus is a
tetraatomic molecule.
Nitrogen because of its small size forms pπ- pπ multiple bonds
with other nitrogen atoms and thus it exists as a diatomic
molecule (N=N or N2 ). Phosphorus, on the other hand, because of
its large size usually does not form pπ- pπ multiple bonds with
other phosphorus atoms but instead forms single bonds.
Consequently, it exists as a stable tetraatomic (P4)
DAV CENTENARY PUBLIC SCHOOL, PASCHIM ENCLAVE, NEW DELHI - 87
Page 31
Molecule.
PH3 has lower boiling point
than NH3.
The electronegativity of N (3.0) is much higher than that of
P(2.1). So, NH3 undergoes extensive intermolecular H-bonding and
hence it exists as an associated molecule. To break these H-
bonds, a large amount of energy is needed. On the other hand,
PH3 does not undergo H-bonding and thus exists as discrete
molecules. Therefore, the boiling point of PH3 is much
lower than that of NH3.
PF5 is known but NF5 is not
known
P has vacant 3d-orbitals in its valence shell while N does not have.
As a result, P can form additional bonds to give PF5 while N
cannot extend its covalency beyond three and hence it forms only
NF3 but not NF5.
Unlike phosphorus, nitrogen
shows little tendency for
catenation
Catenation (i.e., linking of atoms .of the same kind with one
another) is related to the atom-atom bond energy. Greater the
atom-atom bond energy, greater is the catenation. Because of low
N—N bond energy (1638 kJ mol-1) nitrogen shows little tendency
for catenation; P—P bond energy (2O1.6 kJ mol-1 ) is quite high,
hence, it shows more tendency for catenation than nitrogen.
Bismuth is a strong
oxidising agent in the
pentavalent state.
As the inert pair effect is very prominent in Bi, its + 5 oxidation
state is less stable than its + 3 oxidation state. In other words,
bismuth in the pentavalent state can easily accept two electrons
and thus gets reduced to trivalent bismuth.
Bi5+2e- Bi3+
Thus, it acts as a strong oxidising agent
When NaBr is heated with
conc. H2SO4, Br2 is
produced but when NaC1 is
heated with conc. H2SO4
HCl is, produced.
When NaBr is heated with conc. H2SO4, HBr is first produced
which being a reducing agent reduces H2SO4 to SO2 while HBr
itself gets oxidised to Br2.
NaBr + H2 SO4 NaHSO4+ HBr
2 HBr+ H2SO4 2H2O+ SO2 +Br2,
As a result, only Br2 is produced.
Similarly, NaCl reacts with conc. H2SO4 to form HCI but since
HCldoes not act as a reducing agent, it does‘ not get oxidised to
Cl2.

Page 32
only whereas other
members of its family show
oxidation states of +2, +4
and +6 as well
available for excitation of electrons. Further, it is the most
electronegative element of its family. Hence, it shows oxidation
state of -2 only. Other elements like sulphur have d-orbitals
available for excitation, thereby giving four and six half-filled
orbitals. Moreover, they can combine with more electronegative
elements. Hence, they show oxidation states of +2, +4 and +6 also
H2S acts only as a reducing
agent but SO2 acts both as
a reducing agent as well as
an oxidising agent.
The minimum oxidation number (O.N.) of S is — 2 while its
maximum O.N. is + 6. In SO2, the O.N. is +4, hence, it can not only
increase its O.N. by losing electrons but also reduce its O.N. by
gaining electrons. Thus, it acts both as a reducing agent as well as
an oxidising agent. In contrast, in. H2S, S has an O.N. of — 2.
Thus, it can only increase its U.N by losing electrons and hence
acts only as a reducing agent.
SF6 is known but SH6 is not
known
Fluorine being the strongest oxidising agent oxidises sulphur to
its maximum oxidation state of + 6 and thus forms SF6. In
contrast hydrogen being a very weak oxidising agent cannot
oxidise S to its maximum oxidation state of + 6 and hence does
not form SH6
Compounds of fluorine with
oxygen are called fluorides
of oxygen and not the
oxides of fluorine
This is because fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen.
SCI6 is not known but SF6
is known
Fluorine is a much stronger oxidising agent than chlorine,
therefore, it can easily oxidize sulphur to its maximum oxidation
state of + 6 and hence forms SF6. Chlorine being a weaker
oxidising agent can oxidise sulphur at the maximum to its + 4
oxidation state and hence can form SCI4 but not SCI6.
Sulphur exhibits greater
tendency for catenation
than selenium
As we move from S to Se, the atomic size increases and hence
the strength of E—E bond decreases. Thus, S—S bond is much
stronger than Se—Se bond consequently, S shows greater
tendency for catenation than selenium
Both NO and CIO2, are odd
electron species but NO
dimerises while CIO2 does

In NO, the odd electron on N is attracted b only one O-atom but
in ClO2, the odd electron on CI is attracted by two O-atoms.
Thus, the odd electron on N in NC) is localised while the odd
electron on CI in CIO2 is delocalised. Consequently, NO has a
tendency to dimerise but CIO2 does not.

The d & f BLOCK ELEMENTS
Scandium (Z = 21) is a
transition element but Zinc
(Z = 30) is not?
Incompletely filled 3d orbitals in case of scandium
Zn & Zn2+ have completely filled d orbitals (3d10)
Of the d4 species, Cr 2+ is
strongly reducing while
manganese (III) is strongly
oxidising
E° value for Cr 3+ /Cr2+ is negative (— 0.41 V) while as E° value
for Mn3+ /Mn 2+ is positive (+ 1.57 V). Thus, Cr2+ ions can easily
undergo oxidation to give Cr3+ ions and, therefore, act as strong
reducing agent. On the other hand, Mn 2+ can easily undergo
reduction to give Mn2+ and hence act as oxidising agent.
The d1 configuration is very
unstable in ions
The ions with d1 configuration have the tendency to lose the
only electron present in d-subshell to acquire stable d°
configuration. Therefore, they are unstable and undergo
oxidation or disproportionation
Disproportion reactions? Disproportion reactions are those reactions in which the same
substance undergoes oxidation as well as reduction. In
disproportionation reaction, oxidation number of an element
increases as well decreases to form two different products. For
example,
VI VII IV
3MnO42- +4H+ 2MnO4
- +MnO2 +2H2O
A transition metal exhibits
higher oxidation states in
oxides and fluorides.
A transition metal exhibits higher oxidation states in oxides and
fluorides because oxygen and fluorine are highly electronegative
elements, small in size (and strongest oxidising agents).
For example, osmium shows an oxidation states of +6 in OsF6
and vanadium shows an oxidation states of +5 in VO5
Transition elements show
variable oxidation states.
Transition element which
does not exhibit variable
oxidation state
Transition elements show variable oxidation states because
electrons in ns and (n —1) d-orbitals are available for bond
formation.
Sc
First ionization energies of
5d elements are higher than
those of 3d and 4d elements
Because of weak shielding (or screening) effect of 4f electrons,
the effective nuclear charge acting on the valence electrons in
5d elements is quite high. Hence, the first ionization energies of
5d elements are higher than those of 3d and 4d elements.
Transition elements show
paramagnetic behavior.
Substances containing unpaired electrons are said to be
paramagnetic. Transition elements contain unpaired electrons in

their (n —1) d-orbitals. Hence, they are paramagnetic

copper in oxidation state +2, i.e., Cu2+ has incompletely filled d-
subshell (3d9).
Oxidising power:VO2+ <
Cr2O72– < MnO4

This is due to the increasing stability of the lower species
Account for the irregular
variation of IE
Due to varying degree of stability of different 3d-
configurations
The E0 (M2+/M) values are
not regular
Due to the irregular variation of IE , sublimation enthalpies
E0 of Mn3+/Mn2+ is more
positive than that for
Cr3+/Cr2+ or Fe3+/Fe2+?
Explain.
Much larger third IE of Mn (where the required change
is d5 to d4) is mainly responsible for this.
Highest oxidation state of a
metal exhibited in its oxide
or fluoride
Small size and high electronegativity O or F can oxidise the
metal to its highest oxidation state.
Which is a stronger reducing
agent Cr2+ or Fe2+ and why ?
Cr2+ is stronger reducing agent than Fe2+
Reason: d4 → d3 occurs in case of Cr2+ to Cr3+, d3 is stable
But d6 → d5 occurs in case of Fe2+ to Fe3+

What is meant by
disproportionation‘ of an
oxidation state? Give an
example.
When a particular oxidation state becomes less stable relative
to other oxidation states, one lower, one higher, it is said to
undergo disproportionation. For example, Mn (VI) becomes
unstable relative to Mn(VII) and Mn (IV) in acidic solution.
3 MnO4 2– + 4 H+ → 2 MnO4
- + MnO2 + 2H2O
Explain why Cu+ ion is not
stable in aqueous solutions?
Cu+ in aqueous solution undergoes disproportionation,
2Cu+(aq) → Cu2+(aq) + Cu(s) The E0 is favourable for this
Lanthanoids to exhibit +4
oxidation state.
Cerium (Z = 58)
Actinoid contraction is
greater than
lanthanoid contraction. Why?
5f electrons themselves provide poor shielding from element to
element in the actinoid series.
Mn2+ more stable than Fe2+ It is because Mn2+ has 3d5 configuration which is stability.

Anomers. The two cyclic hemiacetal forms of glucose differ only in the configuration
of the hydroxyl group at C1, called anomeric carbon Such isomers, i.e., α –
form and β -form, are called anomers.
Invert sugar Sucrose is dextrorotatory but after hydrolysis gives dextrorotatory glucose
and laevorotatory fructose. Since the laevorotation of fructose (–92.4°) is
more than dextrorotation of glucose (+ 52.5°), the mixture is laevorotatory.
Thus, hydrolysis of sucrose brings about a change in the sign of rotation,
from dextro (+) to laevo (–) and the product is named as invert sugar

NB: i) During reaction generally changes take place in the functional group only so see the
functional group very carefully.
ii) Remember structural formula of all the common organic compounds ( with their IUPAC
and common names)
iii) Wurtz Reaction and Aldol Condensation are not included in the table although they are
very important for conversions so study them .
iv) By taking examples practice all the above cases ( from 1 to 43 and Grignards reaction.)
vi) Start practicing NOW !

Example: - I > + R : - X , - CH=CH2 , -CH=CH-COOH , -CH2-Cl
These groups are deactivating but exceptionally o / p directing due to +E effect by the
attacking reagents electron density increases at ortho and para position .
If two groups are present initially
1. When both the groups present in benzene ring are o/p directing than the order of
influence
O- > NH2 > NR2 > OH > OCH3 > NHCOCH3 > CH3 > X
2. When both the groups present in benzene ring are meta directing than the order of
influence :
(CH3)3N+ > NO2 > CN > SO3H > CHO > COCH3 > COOH
3. When one group is o/p and another is m – directing than o/p directing group takes
priority
