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\(_4\))\(_3\)

correct option: d

Z = 1s\(^2\) 2s\(^2\) 2p\(^6\) 3s\(^2\) 3p\(^1\)

\(\therefore\) We have Z\(^{3+}\) and SO\(_4 ^{2-}\)

The formula is:

 Z\(^{3+}\) + SO\(_4 ^{2-}\) \(\to\) Z\(_2\)(SO\(_4\))\(_3\).

The following are isoelectronic ions except

A

Na\(^+\)

B

Mg\(^{2+}\)

C

Si\(^{2+}\)

D

O\(^{2+}\)

correct option: c

Isoelectronic refers to two atoms, ions, or molecules that have the same electronic structure and the same number of valence electrons. Atoms or ions with the same electronic configurations are said to be isoelectronic to each other or to have the same isoelectronicity

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.

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

correct option: a

The given reaction is endothermic, as a result of that, a decrease in temperature will favour the exothermic side which is the backward reaction.

Which quantum divides shells into orbitals?

A

Spin

B

Principal

C

Azimuthal

D

Magnetic

correct option: c

An azimuthal quantum number is a quantum number for an atomic orbital that determines its orbital angular momentum and describes the shape of the orbital. It is also known as the orbital angular momentum quantum number, orbital quantum number or second quantum number, and is symbolized as ℓ (pronounced ell).
