According to Gay-Lussac’s law of gaseous volume whenever gases react they do so in volumes
which bear a simple ratio to one another and to the volumes of the products of these are also
gases under similar conditions of temperature and pressure.

Electron gain enthalpy becomes less and less negative as the size of the halogen increases but
electron gain enthalpy of F is less negative than chlorine because due to the smaller size of
fluorine atom electron electron repulsion in fluorine is more hence a part of the energy is used to
overcome this interelectronic repulsion Cl > F > Br > I . Bond dissociation energy of F2 is less
than that of Cl − Cl and even Br − Br because of greater interelectronic repulsion in F2 and it is
in the order Cl2 > Br2 > F2 > I2 .

NO2+ > NO2 > NO2−
In NO2+ , N is sp hybridized so bond angle is 180o .
In both NO2 and NO2− , nitrogen is sp2 hybridized but greater the number of unshared electrons
on nitrogen, smaller the bond angle. NO2 has one unshared electron whereas NO2− has two
unshared electrons. So in NO2− the repulsion on the bond pair in NO2− is more hence angle is
less.

Q160. (3)
In SN2 reactions the attack of nucleophile occurs from the back side on the α-carbon (i.e.
carbon carrying the halogen). Hence the presence of bulky substituents on or near α-carbon
atoms hinder the approach of the nucleophile to the α-carbon. Hence greater the steric
hindrance slower is the reaction. So out of all the alkyl halides ethylbromide is the most reactive
in SN2 reactions.
