      Compare and contrast the following : (i) Structure of oxides of nitrogen and phosphorus (ii) Electron affinity of fluorine and chlorine (iii) Maximum covalency of oxygen and sulphur.                 (a) What are inter halogen compounds and why are they more reactive than corresponding molecular halogen? (b) Present comparative account of each of the following. (i) Acidic properties of HF and (ii) Basic properties of and

    Answer:

      (i) Structure of oxides of nitrogen   (a)  (b) Structure of oxides of phosphorus (i) (ii).   (ii) Chlorine shows higher electron affinity than fluorine because fluorine atoms have higher inter electronic repulsion and low bond dissociation enthalpy. (iii) Oxygen shows maximum covalency 4 whereas sulphur shows maximum covalency 6 because in oxygen, d- orbital is absent but in sulphur d-orbital is present.
