75. Given below are two statements:
Statement I : N(CH3)3 and P(CH3)3 can act as
ligands to form transition metal complexes.
Statement II: As N and P are from same group, the
nature of bonding of N(CH3)3 and P(CH3)3 is always
same with transition metals.
In the light of the above statements, choose the
most appropriate answer from the options given
below:
(1) Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is
correct
(2) Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
(3) Statement I is correct but Statement II is
incorrect
(4) Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
Ans. (3)
Sol. N(CH3)3 and P(CH3)3 both are Lewis base and acts
as ligand, However, P(CH3)3 has a -acceptor
character.
76. Match List I with List II

their respective groups)
Elements with highest
electronegativity
Elements with largest
atomic size
Elements which show
properties of both
metals and non metal
Elements with highest
negative electron gain
enthalpy
Choose the correct answer from the options given
below :
(1) A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
(2) A-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV
(3) A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
(4) A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III
Ans. (3)
Sol. Elements with highest electronegativity F, O
Elements with largest atomic size Fr, Ra
Elements which shows properties of both metal
and non-metals i.e. metalloids Ge, As
Elements with highest negative electron gain
enthalpy Cl, S
77. Iron (III) catalyses the reaction between iodide and
persulphate ions, in which
A. Fe3+ oxidises the iodide ion
B. Fe3+ oxidises the persulphate ion
C. Fe2+ reduces the iodide ion
D. Fe2+ reduces the persulphate ion
Choose the most appropriate answer from the
options given below:
(1) B and C only (2) B only
(3) A only (4) A and D only
Ans. (4)
Sol. 2Fe3+ + 2I– 2Fe2+ + I2
2Fe2+ + S2O82– 2Fe3+ + 2SO42–
Fe+3 oxidises I– to I2 and convert itself into Fe+2.
This Fe+2 reduces S2O82– to SO42– and converts
itself into Fe+3.
78. Match List I with List II
