List-I (Oxoacids of Sulphur) | List-II (Bonds) | ||
A | Peroxodisulphuric acid | I | Two S–OH, Four S=O, One S–O–S |
B | Sulphuric acid | II | Two S–OH, One S=O |
C | Pyrosulphuric acid | III | Two S–OH, Four S=O, One S–O–O–S |
D | Sulphurous acid | IV | Two S–OH, Two S=O |
A body of mass 1000 kg is moving horizontally with a velocity of 6 m/s. If 200 kg extra mass is added, the final velocity (in m/s) is:
Halogens are the group 17 elements of the periodic table. The term ‘halogen’ means ‘salt-producing’, hence the name halogens as they possess the tendency to form salts after reacting to metals. It generally has five elements:
These are all naturally occurring halogens but Tennessine (Ts) is an artificially created halogen.
Halogens are highly reactive elements and are highly electronegative. They have a high tendency to react with metals to form salts. They are also known as Group 17 elements. They have 7 electrons in their outer shell with a configuration of (ns2 np5). Fluorine being the first halogen in group 17, is highly reactive. Astatine is a halogen because of its resemblance with iodine despite it being radioactive.
The general electronic configuration for group 17 elements is ns2np5. This configuration clearly shows that they have 7 electrons in their valence shell. They require one more electron to complete their octet and achieve noble gas configuration.
