(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(4) In above reaction it is clearly reveal that none of the bridge hydrogen in B2H6  has been replaced by –CH3 .ie in this reaction both the bridge bond remaine undissociate.
