Group 16: Calcogens Flashcards
compare I.E. group 16 and group 15 (group 16)
group 16 < group 15
half filled
minimum EA (group 16)
O
maximum EA (group 16)
S
highest catenation (group 16)
S
minimum oxidation state (group 16)
-2
maximum oxidation state (group 16)
+6
stability of which OS decreases down the group due to inert pair effect? (group 16)
+6 decreases and +4 increases
allotropes of oxygen(group 16)
ozone
oxygen
allotropes of sulphur (group 16)
rhombic sulphur(alpha) monoclinic sulphur (beta) plastic sulphur (delta)
general molecule on reaction with H2(group 16)
H2E
trend of BP on H2E (group 16)
H2S< H2Se < H2Te < H2O (H- bonding)
acidic strength of H2E (group 16)
increases down the group
bond energy H2E (group 16)
decreases down the group
Bond angle H2E (group 16)
decreases down the group due to Drago’s rule
thermal stability of H2E (group 16)
decreases down the group
general compound with oxygen (group 16)
EO3 and EO2
oxidation state directly proportional to acidic nature
EO3 > EO2
reducing nature of oxide(Group 16)
decreases down the group
General compound with halides (Group 16)
EX2 / EX4 / EX6
stability of halide (Group 16)
F > Cl> Br > I
only __ hexa halide is stable and exist in gaseous state (Group 16)
Flourids
due to bulkiness
Se2Cl2 show disproportionation like (Group 16)
SeCl4 + Se
other dimer also show such reaction
preparation of dioxygen (Group 16)
- factional distillation
- electrolysis of acidified water
- decomposition of oxides
- photosynthesis
