  1. Which of the following is a property of acid solutions?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    a. sour taste<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    b. More than one response is correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    c. slippery feel<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    d. change red litmus to blue<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Order the following atoms\/ions by increasing size:
      (small ? large)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Cl2+, Br2-, Cl, Cl+, Cl-, Br<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The Correct Answer and Explanation is :<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Answers:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      1. Which of the following is a property of acid solutions?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      Answer: (b) More than one response is correct.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Explanation:<\/strong>
      Acids exhibit several characteristic properties, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Sour taste<\/strong> (Option a<\/strong>): Acids like citric acid (in lemons) or acetic acid (in vinegar) have a distinctly sour taste.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Changing blue litmus red<\/strong>, not red to blue (Option d<\/strong> is incorrect).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Slippery feel<\/strong> (Option c<\/strong> is incorrect): This is a property of bases, not acids. Bases feel slippery due to their reaction with skin oils to form soap-like substances.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Since option (a) is correct but not the only correct response<\/strong>, the best choice is (b) More than one response is correct<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n\n\n\n

        2. Ordering of Atoms\/Ions by Increasing Size:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

        Given atoms\/ions: Cl\u00b2\u207a, Br\u00b2\u207b, Cl, Cl\u207a, Cl\u207b, Br<\/strong>
        Increasing size order:<\/strong>
        [
        Cl\u00b2\u207a < Cl\u207a < Cl < Br < Cl\u207b < Br\u00b2\u207b
        ]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Explanation:<\/strong>
        The size of an atom or ion is influenced by three main factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Nuclear Charge (Z)<\/strong> \u2013 More protons pull electrons closer, reducing size.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Electron Repulsions<\/strong> \u2013 More electrons or negative charge increases size.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Energy Level (n)<\/strong> \u2013 Higher periods (down the periodic table) have larger orbitals.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Cl\u00b2\u207a (smallest):<\/strong> A highly positive ion loses two electrons, leading to strong nuclear attraction and a very small radius.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Cl\u207a:<\/strong> Losing one electron still reduces repulsion, making it smaller than neutral Cl.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Cl (Neutral):<\/strong> Standard atomic size for chlorine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Br (Neutral):<\/strong> Bromine is below chlorine on the periodic table (Period 4 vs. Period 3), so it has a larger atomic radius.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Cl\u207b:<\/strong> Gaining an electron increases repulsion, expanding the atomic size.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Br\u00b2\u207b (largest):<\/strong> Gaining two electrons greatly increases electron-electron repulsion, making it the largest in this set.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Thus, the order is:<\/strong>
            [
            Cl\u00b2\u207a < Cl\u207a < Cl < Br < Cl\u207b < Br\u00b2\u207b
