- A, C and D Only
- C and D Only
- B, C and D Only
Answer
(3) C and D Only
Solution
A. Vanadium(V) oxide, V2O5, is the catalyst of the Contact process for H2SO4, but it is amphoteric (mainly acidic), not basic ⇒ false
B. Ziegler–Natta catalyst = TiCl4 + Al(C2H5)3
In TiCl4, Ti4+ = [Ar] 3d0 ⇒ n = 0 ⇒ = n(n+2) = 0 BM (2.84 BM needs n = 2) ⇒ false
C. The p-block compound is Al(C2H5)3, in which Al is in the +3 state ⇒ true
D. Wacker process uses PdCl2; Pd2+ = [Kr] 4d8 ⇒ 8 electrons in the outermost d orbitals ⇒ true
∴ C and D only
