As is increasing in the upward direction, hence speed is decreasing as we go up. So the rays at the bottom will

be ahead of the rays at the top, hence the wavefront bends as shown. And the waves move to the wavefront.
Hence the beam will bend upwards.

C ( s) 2O 2 (melt ) CO2 ( g ) 4e
In the metallurgy of aluminium, purified Al2 O3 is mixed with Na3 AlF6

or CaF2 which lowers the

melting point of the mix and brings conductivity.

The fused matrix is electrolyzed. Na3 AlF6 alone is not the electrolyte.

So H2O2 can act as both reducing as well as oxidizing agent.

For alkaline earth metal sulphates solubility decreases down the group. So only for the soluble BeSO4, hydration
energy is greater than its lattice enthalpy.

45.(4)

For inter-halogen compounds (X X) bond energy is lesser than general X X bond {except for

F - F},

and also inter-halogen bond is polar. So they are more reactive.

Down the group in inert gases inter-particle forces increase, so boiling point increases.

Nitrogen and oxygen do not react at ambient temperatures. In order to produce various oxides of nitrogen, they
have to undergo endothermic reaction at high temperatures. Generally the range of temperature to react N2 and
