The electronic configuration of element Z is 1s\(^2\) 2s\(^2\) 2p\(^6\) 3s\(^2\) 3p\(^1\). What is the formula of the compound formed between Z and tetraoxosulphate (VI) ion.

A. Z\(_3\)(SO\(_4\))\(_2\)

B. ZSO\(_4\)

C. Z\(_2\) SO\(_4\)

D. Z\(_2\)(SO\(_4\))\(_3\)

Detailed Solution

Z = 1s\(^2\) 2s\(^2\) 2p\(^6\) 3s\(^2\) 3p\(^1\)
\(\therefore\) We have Z\(^{3+}\) and SO\(_4 ^{2-}\)
The reaction : Z\(^{3+}\) + SO\(_4 ^{2-}\) \(\to\) Z\(_2\)(SO\(_4\))\(_3\).

A. sp\(^3\) and sp

B. sp

C. sp\(^2\)

D. sp\(^3\) and sp\(^2\)

Detailed Solution

56.

The following are isoelectronic ions except

A. Na\(^+\)

B. Mg\(^{2+}\)

C. Si\(^{2+}\)

D. O\(^{2+}\)

Detailed Solution

Two or more ions are said to be isoelectronic if they have the same electronic structure and the same number of valence electrons.
Na\(^+\) = 10 electrons = 2, 8
Mg\(^{2+}\) = 10 electrons = 2,8
O\(^{2-}\) = 10 electrons = 2,8
Si\(^{2+}\) = 12 electrons = 2,8,2
\(\implies\) Si\(^{2+}\) is not isoelectronic with the rest.

57.

Consider the reaction: A + 2B\(_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons \) 2C + D\(_{(g)}\) (\(\Delta\)H = +ve)What will be the effect of decrease in temperature on the reaction?

A. Rate of backward reaction will increase

B. The equilibrium constant will shift

C. Rates of forward and backward reactions are not affected

D. Rate of forward reaction will increase

Detailed Solution

The given reaction is endothermic, hence, a decrease in temperature will favor the exothermic side which is the backward reaction.

58.

A cell shorthand notation can be written as A / A\(^+\) // B\(^{2+}\) /B. The double slash in the notation represents the

A. electrolyte

B. electrodes

C. salt bridge

D. solid - liquid interface

Which quantum divides shells into orbitals?

A. Spin

B. Principal

C. Azimuthal

D. Magnetic

Detailed Solution

The azimuthal quantum number determines an atom's orbital angular momentum and the shape of the orbital. The principal quantum number determines its number of shells. Magnetic quantum number determines how many orbitals there are as well as their orientation within a subshell.
