    91. Answer (1)The sum of the 3rd and 4th ionization energies of nickel is much higher than the sum of 1st and 2nd ionizationenergies. Hence, Ni (II) is more common. In case of platinum, the difference between IE3 + IE4 and IE1 + IE2is much less. Hence, Pt (IV) is more common.

    92. Answer (2)Lowest oxide of Cr is CrO which is basic. The highest oxide is CrO3 which is acidic. In between, Cr2O3 isamphoteric. Higher the oxidation state of the metal, more easily it can accept electrons and hence, greateris the acidic character.

    93. Answer (2)The electronic configuration of Hg(I), i.e., Hg+ is [Xe] 4f 145d106s1 and thus has one electron in the valence6s-orbital. If this were so, all Hg(I) compounds should be paramagnetic but actually they are diamagnetic. Thisbehaviour can be explained if we assume that the singly filled 6s-orbitals of the two Hg+ ions overlap to forma Hg-Hg covalent bond. Thus, Hg+ ions exist as dimeric species, i.e., +22Hg .

    C2. 1. Answer (3)At room temperature, ordinary hydrogen contains 75% of ortho hydrogen and 25% of para hydrogen. Asthe temperature is lowered, the percentage of ortho hydrogen in the mixture decreases while that of parahydrogen increases and at about 20 K, it is pure para hydrogen. In contrast, when a sample of ordinarydihydrogen is heated say to 400 K or above, the ratio of ortho and para hydrogen remains to be the same(3 : 1). Thus, it is possible to obtain pure para hydrogen but it is not possible to obtain pure orthohydrogen.

    Dihydrogen forms three types of hydrides, ionic, covalent and interstitial hydrides. Ionic or salt like (saline)hydrides are formed by alkali metals, alkaline earth metals with exception of Be and Mg and some highlyelectropositive members of lanthanide series.

    Covalent or molecular hydrides are formed by all the true non metals (except zero group elements) and theelements such as Al, Ga, Sn, Pb, Sb, Bi, Po etc., which are normally metallic in nature.

    Metallic or interstitial hydrides are formed by many d-block and f-block elements at elevated temperatures.These hydrides are often non-stoichiometric.

Ellingham diagram can be used to predict which metal/non-metal can be used to extract any other metal fromits oxide by using smelting process.Any metal having its metal-metal oxide line above any other metal can be extracted by other metals havingtheir metal-metal oxide line below in Ellingham diagram.

    15. (i) AlCl3, 6H2O exists as [Al(H2O)6]Cl3. Upon heating AlCl3 undergoes hydrolysis and forms Al2O3.(ii) AlCl3 lacks back-bonding as in BCl3 because of large size of Aluminium.

    Aluminium metal forms complete octet by coordinate bridges by chlorine atoms between two Al atoms.(iii) On heating, borax first swells up due to elimination of water molecules. On further heating, it melts to a

    liquid which then solidifies to a transparent glassy mass.

    (ii) (Y) gives alkaline solution and its solution forms white ppt (Z) with BaCl2 and (Z) on heating with acid giveseffervescences of CO2, so (Z) is BaCO3 and (Y) is metal carbonate

    (iii) Since (Y) and (A) are formed from (X) and thus, (X) is metal bicarbonate and (A) is CO2
