NTA Abhyas JEE Main2020Chemistryp Block Elements (Group 13 & 14)Practice
An inorganic compound A made of two most occurring elements in the earth’s crust and it is used in building construction when made to react with carbon forms a poisonous gas B which is diatomic molecule. Compounds A and B are
Options
- AS i O 2 , C O 2
- BS i O 2 , C O
- CS i O 2 , N 2
- DC a O , C O 2
Correct answer
B. S i O 2 , C O
Step-by-step solution
S i O 2 is a compound of oxygen and silicon most abundant elements of earth’s crust and is used in construction. S i O 2 + 2 C → S i + 2 C O (Poisonous gas and diatomic molecule)
