Q35.
Nitrogen ions are reduced to nitrogen atoms.NaOCl is a reducing agent(bleach). And NaCl gives a white precipitate with Silver nitrate.(Cations and anions Tests)
So, if something's being merely reduced, it still undergoes redox?
.
Tch, Look what I've written... this is pathetic. Okay Can you just define redox for me so I can clarify A once and for all?
I'm still confused.

Redox means when an element is oxidised or reduced. yes, Andif something's being merely reduced, it still undergoes redox

A'ight ppl... this is the third time I'm re-asking this question - and they claim third time's lucky - So let's see about that.

The equation below represents the combination of gaseous atoms of non-metal X and of
hydrogen to form gaseous X

2H6 molecules.
2X(g)

+ 6H(g) X2H6(g) ΔH = –2775 kJ mol–1
The bond energy of an X–H bond is 395 kJ mol

–1.
What is the bond energy of an X–X bond? ans :+405 how ?

ok the way i have thought of it without any calculation ....how many electrons does carbon want = 4 ...how many will Al lose 3
so if we have 3 Al x 4 = 12 electrons and no. of carbons will be 4 x 3 = 12 :p i knw its kinda wierd but when u got thinkk out of the box smtimes nd if ur lucky enough it ill work so we get Al4 C3

q-1 can anyone help?

Answer is A.
Consider BF3.
B is in Grp III.
F is in Grp VII
When B bonds covalently with 3 Fluorine atoms, it forms 3 single CVBs.

So three electrons offered by Boron while each Fluorine atom gives one electron each.
Total CVBs = 3 (Single).
Total electrons shared = 6.
Electronic configuration of Boron in BF3: 1s2. 2s2, 2p6.
Incomplete valence shell... hence A.

What about the other 3 options???????

B
CH3-
First look at CH3.
Three single CVBs between C and H.
C has 4 + 3 = 7 electrons.
But now notice that lil' sign on top of CH3. : -
Hence C has an extra electron.
Valence now has: 7 +1 = 8 electrons.

C
F2O:
O has 6 electrons. Two partake in CVB formation with F. (So 4 remain)
Two CVBs: 4 shared electrons.
Now add shared electrons to remaining (aka the two lone pairs) of O... 4 + 4 = 8


D:
H3O+
Three CVBs.
6 shared electrons.(3 electrons provided by O for this - 6-6 = 3 left)
Add shared to remaining electrons.
6 + 3 = 9 electrons.
Now due to the +ve sign, take one electron away... 9 - 1 = 8

There.

9701/11/M/J/12 q-14 Please help
MJ12/variant 11?

Btw after this, kindly tell me about the different radicals that can be formed during free radical substitution reactions!
I've no idea how to do them!

eg:
CH3CH2(C)(CH3)3
What are the radicals possible?

You mean when it reacts with a halogen atom?

Im sorry, im not able to understand this.
I've come across questions in which they ask the possible radical formations of the organic specie during Free-radical substitution.
I can't find those questions right now.
But all we need to know is that with the removal of one H, the C gains a +ve charge. Is that right?

And confirm the year. MJ12? Or MJ11? (Referring to yr question)

Yes it is.
Thanks anyways.

And referring to my question its may/ june 2012
