Number of electrons in hydrogen chloride molecule = 18
Number of electrons in tetrachloromethane molecule = 74.
The van der Waal's forces in the second molecule is much greater.
Polarity should be used to justify higher melting point of a molecule over another only if their Mr is same or very similar.
In huge differences like this, it shouldn't be done.

Thanks a lot,can you explain this as well?

1- u can calculate the values if u want
or see , H-Cl bond is stronger than H-Br so its less likely that H-Cl bond breaks , thats means enthalphy change will be higher for H-Cl
2 - HBr is more likely to form than HI due to stronger H-Br bond than H-I nd Kp is proportional to the products so a higher value of Kp for H-Br since hydrogen bromide can form more easily than HI
3 - Cl atom is smaller than I so more force of attraction from nucleus so its not easy to remove an electron from a Cl atom.....so it has higher Ionization energy

A nd B is wrong since its an electrophilic addition reaction which is undergone by alkenes
D- alkyl halide cnt form hydrogen bonds
C - its the only right one - when both Br2 in first compound nd one Br2 in second is removed it gives the same product

These are halogenoalkanes. They undergo nuclephilic substitution.
The first compound has no hydrogen bonds with water.
When halogenoalkanes undergo hydrolysis, the halogen atoms are replaced by OH groups.
The first compound will have both its bromine atoms replaced, and the second one will have the one replaced. Both will end up with the same result.

EDIT: maybe second compound should not be called a halogenoalkane because it has OH group as well. The answer remains the same though.

Q31
1) Both have proton no. = 3
2) both have electron = 2
3) neutrons of H = -2(idk about minus) and Li = 3
Ans = B

Q4
Use : P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 (convert Celsius to kelvin)

Q31
1) 1 UPE
2) 4 UPE
3) 2 UPE

Brother its coming as unavailable :/
subsitute the equation for kc of the first reaction into the kc of the second reaction. product changes into reactant so the Kc (2) will be reciprocalled too and become 1/2.
then in the first equation there were 2 mol of X2Y so it was squared in the equation. in the second reaction is is just one so does not need to be squared so square root is taken on both sides of the eq.
It was posted by Daredevil.. :)

How does Q31 3 have 2 UPE?Doesnt the ion have just 4s2?

If u follow chemguide (Tim) then i guess u should have not face this problem.. Well my new school is awesome... was taught this concept at the end of Electronic concepts <3
I guess it makes sense though,it'll lose from the S shell first as they are paired i guess.

asadalam This one concept is very tricky to remember... (The first ten transitoin elements)
If u r confident check out 3d 4s concept on chemguide...
PS Only if u r confident that u are good enough to understand it coz it may tangle u...
