Explanation / Answer

7.12

a) Phosphonium Iodide, PH4I, is the most stable of these compounds since it is formed by direct combination of phosphorus, iodine, and water in a gaseous phase.

b) The acidity depends on the bond strength of H and the other element. Accordingly, H-Te is stronger than H-Se which is stronger than H-S which is stronger than H-O. So, H2Te is the strongest acid.

c) Basic oxides are always oxides of metals. So, among these, only one non-metal oxide is present - CO which is an acidic oxide.

d) The Mg-F bond is the stronger than Mg-Br and Mg-Cl. So, MgF2 is the strongest acid.

e) The strongest base is PH2- since the P has more orbitals to accommodate the H+.

7.14

The more the oxidation state, more is the acidic nature. Hence, Mn(VII) is the most acidic among the given.

Mn(IV) has Mn in the +4 oxidation state, an intermediate value, so it is amphoteric.

Mn2+ is least in oxidation state, so most basic.
