Question

Which of the Following compound does not give oxyacid of central atom on hydrolysis

Answer 1

Answer:NCl3

Explanation:

NCl3 doesn't have vacant d-orbitals so it doesn't undergo hydrolysis.

Insted OXYACID of Cl is formed.

The reaction is as follows-:

NCl3 + 3H2O → NH3 + 3HOCl

Here nitrogen changes from +3 to -3 oxidation state.

Which of the following compound does not give oxyacid of central atom on hydrolysis ?

(A)Sicl4

(B)Pcl5

(C)Pcl3

(D)Ncl3

The correct answer would be (D) Ncl3

• Hydrolysis refers to the process of adding a molecule of water to a substance.

• Ncl3 does not contain any vacant d-orbtitals.

Hence it doesn't undergo hydrolysis.

• Vacant d-orbtitals refers to the empty place in the atom and is ready to receive electrons from another atom.
