(26) Where is liquid nitrogen used for?
(27) Why Nitrogen
dioxide (NO2) dimerises to form Dinitrogen tetraoxide (N2O4)?
(28) Why Nitrogen
dioxide (NO2) is coloured but Dinitrogen tetraoxide (N2O4) is colourless?
(29) Which will
have very fast tendency to dimerized ClO2 or NO and
why?
(30) Why does H3PO3 acts as a reducing agent but H3PO4 does
not?
(31) Hypophosphorous
acid (H3PO2) and Phosphorous acid (H3PO3) act as as good reducing agents while
H3PO4 does not.Why?
Phenyl group is known to extract negative inductive effect, but each phenyl ring in biphenyl is more reactive than benzene towards Electrophilic substation. Why?
It is because, in biphenyl, one of the phenyl groups acts as donor and the other as electron acceptor. This increases electron density on benzene ring and facilitates Electrophilic attack at ortho and para position.

Are all the five bonds of PCl5 equivalent? Justify your answer.
PCl5 has Sp3d hybridisation and trigonal bipiramidal geometry. PCl5 has three equivalent equatorial and two equivalent axial P – Cl bonds. However, due to greater bond pair – bond pair repulsions, the axial P – Cl bonds are longer and hence different from the three equatorial bonds

Methylation of Diborane (B2H6) replace only four hydrogen why ?
Methylation of Doborane:
(1) In diborane two boron atoms and four terminal hydrogen atoms lie in one plane. While two bridge hydogen atoms (encircled ) lie smmetrically above and below the plane.
(2) Total valence electrons in B2H6 is 12(6 from boron
3x2) and 6 from six hydrogen atoms) and there are two B-H-B (3C-2e) bridge
bonds and four B-H (2C-2e) terminal bonds.
(3) Bond energy of B-H-B bond is 441 kj per mole
which greater than bond energy B-H bond (341Kj per mole)
hence methylation of diborane no more than four hydrogen.
(4) In above reaction it is clearly reveal that none of the bridge hydrogen in B2H6 has been replaced by –CH3 .ie in this reaction both the bridge bond remaine undissociate.
