MCQ
Compound having highest oxidation state of central atom act as acid lowest one act as basic and intermediete $O.S.$ act as amphoteric. Which one of the following is amphoteric
  • $HOCl$
  • B
    $HClO_2$
  • C
    $HClO_4$
  • D
    None

Answer

Correct option: A.
$HOCl$
a
$(a)$ $1 s ^{2} 2 s ^{2} \rightarrow Be$

$(b)$ $1 s ^{2} 2 s ^{2} 2 p ^{4} \rightarrow O$

$(c)$ $1 s ^{2} 2 s ^{2} 2 p ^{3} \rightarrow N$

$(d)$ $1 s ^{2} 2 s ^{2} 2 p ^{1} \rightarrow B$

The ionization enthalpy order is $B < Be < O < N$

Be has more IE compared to $B$ due to extra stability and $N$ has more $IE$ compared to oxygen due to extra stability

Hence, $N \rightarrow 1402 kJ / mol$

$O \rightarrow 1314 kJ / mol$

$B \rightarrow 801 kJ / mol$

$Be \rightarrow 899 kJ / mol$
