In sulphide ore, depressants selectively prevent impurity from coming to the fourth.

If the radius of the 3^rd Bohr’s orbit of hydrogen atom r₃ and the radius of 4^th Bohr’s orbit is r₄. Then

Payal Gupta

Radius of Bohr’s orbit $R_{n} = 0.529 \overset{o}{A} \times \frac{n^{2}}{z}$

Radius of Bohr’s orbit for hydrogen, $R_{n} = 0.529 \overset{o}{A} \times n^{2}$

For third orbit (R₃) = $0.529 \overset{o}{A} \times 9$ = r₃ and

Fourth orbit (R₄) = $0.59 \overset{o}{A} \times 16 = r_{4}$

$∴ r_{4} = \frac{16 r_{3}}{9}$

Arrange the following in the decreasing order of their covalent character:

(A) LiCl
(B) NaCl
(C) KCl
(D) CsCl

Alok Kumar Singh

Covalent character is $L i C l > N a C l > K C l > C s C l .$ As the cationic size increases polarization decreases.

$∴$ Covalent character decreases.

Kindly consider the following figure

Number of lone pairs of electrons in the central atom of SCl₂, O₃, ClF₃ and SF₆, respectively are:

Vishal Baghel

SCl₂ – 2 lone pair of central atom

O₃ – 1 lone pair of central atom

ClF₃ – 2 lone pair of central atom

SF₆ – 0 lone pair of central atom
