Element Atomic radius Covalent radius Ionic radius (Å) van der Waal ra- (Å) (Å) dius (Å) Oxygen 0.48 0.66 1.40 1.52 Sulfur 0.88 1.05 1.84 1.80 Table 1: Comparison of physical characteristics for oxygen and sulfur. 2 Electronegativity Sulfur is less electronegative than oxygen (2.4 and 3.5, respectively) and as a consequence bonds to sulfur are less polar than the corresponding bonds to oxygen. One signicant result in that with a less polar S-H bond the subsequent hydrogen bonding is weaker than observed with O-H analogs. A further consequence of the lower electronegativity is that the S-O bond is polar. 3 Bonds formed Sulfur forms a range of bonding types. As with oxygen the -2 oxidation state prevalent. For example, sulfur forms analogs of ethers, i.e., thioethers R-S-R. However, unlike oxygen, sulfur can form more than two covalent (non-dative) bonds, i.e., in compounds such as SF4 and SF6. Such hypervalent compounds were originally thought be due to the inclusion of low energy d orbitals 3 2 in hybrids (e.g., sp d for SF6); however, a better picture involves a combination of s and p ortbitals in bonding (Figure 1). Any involvement of the d orbitals is limited to the polarization of the p orbitals rather than direct hydridization.

  • Group 13 Elements
    GROUP I5 ELEMENTS Q. 1. Give chemical reaction in support of the statement that all the bonds in PCI5 molecule are not equivalent. Ans. Due to greater bond pair-bond pair repulsions, the two axial P — Cl bonds are less stable than the three equatorial P — Cl bonds. It is because of this reason that when PC15 is heated, the less stable axial bonds are Broken to form Cl2. Δ PCl5 -------------- PCl3 + Cl2. Q. 2. The tendency for catenation decreases down the group 14. Or Why carbon shows catenation but silicon does not Ans. As we move down the group 14, the atomic size increases and hence the strength of M—M bond decreases steadily. Consequently the tendency for catenation decreases down the group. Q. 3. PCI5 is known but NC15 is not known. Explain. 2 2 6 2 1 1 1 Ans. Electronic configuration of P is 1s 2s 2p 3s 3px 3py 3pz . Thus phosphorus has empty 3d orbitals in which the elecron of the 3s-orbital can be excited but nitrogen has no d-orbitals as its electronic configuration is 2 2 1 1 1 1s 2s 2px 2py 2pz . Q. 4. Why molecular nitrogen is not reactive ? Ans. The bond dissociation energy for the triple bond in N = N is very high because of small size of N-atoms and hence small internuclear distance. Q.5. H3PO3 is diprotic (or)dibasic. Why? Ans. Since it has only two ionisable H – atoms which are present as OH groups. Q. 6. Nitrogen exists as diatomic molecule, N2, whereas phosphorus exists a tetratomic molecule P4.

  • 2. Allotropy in Carbon the Property Due to Which an Element Exists In
    SUBJECT-CHEMISTRY DATE- 22/11/2020 CLASS- X TOPICS- Chap. 4 Carbon and its Compounds Carbon is one of the most essential components of living organisms. There are two stable isotopes of carbon C-12 and C-13. After these two one more isotope of carbon is present C-14. Carbon is used for radiocarbon dating One of the most amazing properties of carbon is its ability to make long carbon chains and rings. This property of carbon is known as catenation. Carbon has many special abilities out of all one unique ability is that carbon forms double or triple bonds with itself and with other electronegative atoms like oxygen and nitrogen. These two properties of carbon i.e catenation and multiple bond formation, it has the number of allotropic forms. Allotrope is nothing but the existence of an element in many forms which will have different physical property but will have similar chemical properties and its forms are called allotropes of allotropic forms. Allotropes are defined as the two or more physical forms of one element. These allotropes are all based on carbon atoms but exhibit different physical properties, especially with regard to hardness. The two common, crystalline allotropes of carbon are diamond and graphite. Carbon shows allotropy because it exists in different forms of carbon. Though these allotropes of carbon have a different crystal structure and different physical properties, their chemical properties are the same and show similar chemical properties. Both diamond and graphite have symbol C. Both give off carbon dioxide when strongly heated in the presence of oxygen.

Verma University Department of Chemistry Magadh University Bodh Gaya-824234 (31.07.2006) CONTENTS Introduction Silicones General introduction Structural features and synthesis Interesting properties and uses Phosphazenes General introduction Nature of bonding in triphosphazenes Uses Keywords Polymers, catenation, silicones, halosilanes, silicone oils, silicone elastomers, silicone resins, phosphazenes, diphosphazenes, polyphosphazenes, bonding in triphosphazenes, homorphic and heteromorphic interactions 1 Introduction Polymers have revolutionized human civilization. Carbon forms polymers most extensively on account of its unparalleled catenation property (tendency to form chains). Although to a limited extent, catenation is exhibited by some other elements in Group 14 and Group 15. For example, in Group 14, the catenation tendency follows the sequence C >> Si > Ge ~ Sn >>Pb. In Group 15, the NN single bond is so weak that its chain length does not go beyond 3 (in N3ion). The chain length in case of phosphorus is up to 2 (e.g. in P2H4). Silicon in Group 14 forms polymeric silanes with difficulty. In conjugation with oxygen however, it makes extensive SiOSi linkages forming silicones. Similarly, in conjugation with nitrogen, phosphorus shows unique capability of forming extensive — N = P — bonds in what are called phosphazenes. These two classes of polymers established Si and P as the second and the third most extensively polymer- forming elements, respectively and, have revolutionized polymer science on account of their oxidative, thermal and radiation stabilities. The C = C and C – H bonds in C-based polymers are susceptible to oxidation and the C-C bonds are prone to cleavage, but these two classes of silicones and phosphazenes are free from these lacunae.

  • Chemistry of Sulfur (Z=16) Learning Objectives Describe the Chemistry of the Oxygen Group
    Chemistry of Sulfur (Z=16) Learning Objectives Describe the chemistry of the oxygen group. Give the trend of various properties. Remember the names of Group 16 elements. Explain the Frasch process. Describe properties and applications of H2SO4 . Explain properties and applications of H2S. Sulfur is a chemical element that is represented with the chemical symbol "S" and the atomic number 16 on the periodic table. Because it is 0.0384% of the Earth's crust, sulfur is the seventeenth most abundant element following strontium. Sulfur also takes on many forms, which include elemental sulfur, organo-sulfur compounds in oil and coal, H2S(g) in natural gas, and mineral sulfides and sulfates. This element is extracted by using the Frasch process (discussed below), a method where superheated water and compressed air is used to draw liquid sulfur to the surface. Offshore sites, Texas, and Louisiana are the primary sites that yield extensive amounts of elemental sulfur. However, elemental sulfur can also be produced by reducing H2S, commonly found in oil and natural gas. For the most part though, sulfur is used to produce SO2(g) and H2SO4. Known from ancient times (mentioned in the Hebrew scriptures as brimstone) sulfur was classified as an element in 1777 by Lavoisier. Pure sulfur is tasteless and odorless with a light yellow color. Samples of sulfur often encountered in the lab have a noticeable odor. Sulfur is the tenth most abundant element in the known universe. Sulfur at a Glance Atomic Number 16 Atomic Symbol S Atomic Weight 32.07 grams per mole Structure orthorhombic Phase at room temperature solid Classification nonmetal Physical Properties of Sulfur Sulfur has an atomic weight of 32.066 grams per mole and is part of group 16, the oxygen family.

  • ORGANIC CHEMISTRY Organic Chemistry Is Often Described As the Chemistry of Carbon-Based Compounds That Consist Primarily of Carbon and Hydrogen
    ORGANIC CHEMISTRY Organic chemistry is often described as the chemistry of carbon-based compounds that consist primarily of carbon and hydrogen. The unique chemistry of carbon • Carbon atoms have the ability to form four strong covalent bonds • Carbon undergoes a process known as hybridization which produces four available bonding sites ( see “process of hybridization”) • Carbon atoms bond with other carbon atoms to form chains or ring structures. This is called catenation These chains can be thousands of atoms long. • Carbon has the ability to make single, double and triple bonds with itself Catenation is described as the ability of carbon atoms to bond with themselves to form chain or ring structures The process of hybridisation A carbon atom in the ground state: C A carbon atom in the “excited” state: 4 x sp3 hyhrid sub-orbitals able to accept one electron each A process called orbital mixing now occurs where the 2s and 2p orbital’s now mix together to produce four sub-orbitals of equal energy. There sub- orbitals are known as sp3 hybrid orbital’s and it is these hybrid orbital’s that provide the four available bonding sites Classification of organic compounds THE HYDROCARBONS……are organic compounds containing carbon and hydrogen only H H H Alkanes H C H H C C H H H H Saturated compound – compounds in which all bonds between the carbon atoms are single bonds.

  • Oxygen Family
    01-Apr-20 Lecture 7 Group 6A (VIA) Oxygen Family (Chalcogens) • None of the Group 6A elements behaves as a typical metal. 2 1 01-Apr-20 Occurrence : • O2 makes up 21% of the Earth’s atmosphere • Oxygen exists in free form as O2 molecule in atmospheric and makes up to 21% by volume and 23% by weight of the atmosphere. • It also occurs in combined state such as metal oxide, carbonates and bicarbonates, etc. in earths crust. • Oxygen forms about 46.6% by mass of earth crust. • In upper layer of atmosphere it also exists as O3 (Ozone). 3 Physical properties of Oxygen • Oxygen gas can exists in all three physical state- solid, liquid and gases. It’s is pale-blue color in liquid and solid state. • Oxygen gas liquefies at 90 K and freeze at 55 K. 16 17 18 • There are three possible isotopes of oxygen; 8O , 8O , 8O . • Molecular orbital theory proves that dioxygen, O2 is paramagnetic in nature. 4 2 01-Apr-20 • Oxygen exists as diatomic gaseous molecule (O2). • Oxygen undergoes Pπ - Pπ overlapping with other oxygen atoms forming double bond, O = O. • Other elements are linked by single bonds and form polyatomic complex molecules eg. Sulphur and Selenium exist as octa-atomic molecules (S8 and Se8) 5 Catenation Catenation is the tendency of an atom to form bonds with identical atoms. Eg. oxygen links its two atoms in peroxides only (-O-O-)-2. • Sulphur shows greater tendency towards catenation because of stronger S-S bond than O-O bond. • Polysulphides are existing such as H-S-S-H, H- S - S - S - S -H • The S-S bond is very important in biological systems and occurs in several proteins and enzymes.
