Which statement is not correct about fullerene C60 ?
It contains 20 six membered rings and 12 five membered rings
All carbon atoms undergo sp2 hybridisation
A six membered ring is fused with six membered rings only
A five membered ring is fused with six membered ring only
Which is the most stable allotrope of sulphur?
Octahedral sulphur
Monoclinic sulphur
Plastic sulphur
Colloidal sulphur
The element that does not form acidic oxide is
carbon
phosphorus
chlorine
barium
D.
barium
The acidic oxides are formed by the non-metals (group 14-17) whereas basic oxides are formed by the metals of group 1 and group 2 elements. As the atoms get larger, the ionisation energy decreases and the elements also become more basic. BeO is an amphoteric oxide, MgO is weakly basic while BaO is highly basic oxide.
