result, bond dissociation enthalpy decreases.
Hence, the correct order of bond enthalpy is :

2. (c) Among carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and boron only phosphorus has vacant d -orbital hence, only
phosphorus has the ability to form pπ−dπ bonding.
3. (a) Nitrogen does not show allotropy due to its small size and high electronegativity. The N−N bond is weak
due to high inter-electronic repulsions among non- bonding electrons due to the small bond distance. Hence,
it does not show allotropy.
4. (c) Maximum covalency of nitrogen is 4 in which one electron is from s-orbital and 3 electrons are from p-
orbitals. Hence, total four electrons are available for bonding.
5. (b) The only well characterised compound having +5 oxidation state of Bi is BiF 5. It is due to smaller size and
high electronegativity of fluorine.
6. (b) Helium is used as diluent for oxygen in modern diving apparatus because of its very low solubility in
blood.
7. (a) It is true that generally b.p. increases with increase in molar mass but due to H -bonding in H 2 O, the
correct order of b.p. is:
H 2 S < H 2 Se< H 2 Te< H 2 O
8. (c) Noble gases have weak dispersion forces hence they have low melting and boiling points.
9. (c) On going down the group, bond dissociation enthalpy of the hydrides of oxygen family decreases.
