(a) Give reasons:
(i) H3PO3\mathrm{H}_3\mathrm{PO}_3 undergoes disproportionation reaction but H3PO4\mathrm{H}_3\mathrm{PO}_4 does not.
(ii) When Cl2\mathrm{Cl}_2 reacts with excess of F2,ClF3\mathrm{F}_2, \mathrm{ClF}_3 is formed and not FCl3\mathrm{FCl}_3.
(iii) Dioxygen is a gas while sulphur is a solid at room temperature.
(b) Draw the structures of the following:
(i) XeF4\mathrm{XeF}_4
(ii) HClO3\mathrm{HClO}_3
OR
(a) When concentrated sulphuric acid was added to an unknown salt present in a test tube, a brown gas (A) was evolved. This gas intensified when copper turnings were added to this test tube. On cooling, the gas (A) changed into a colourless solid (B).
(i) Identify (A) and (B).
(ii) Write the structures of (A) and (B).
(iii) Why does gas (A) change to solid on cooling ?
(b) Arrange the following in the decreasing order of their reducing character :
HF,H,HBr,HI\mathrm{HF}, \mathrm{H}, \mathrm{HBr}, \mathrm{HI}
(c) Complete the following reaction:
XeF4+SbF5\mathrm{XeF}_4 + \mathrm{SbF}_5 \rightarrow
