formation of zwitter ion or dipolar ion.

example)
24 a) (i) In +3 oxidation state of phosphorus tends to disproportionate to higher and 1
lower oxidation states / Oxidation state of P in H3PO3 is +3 so it undergoes
disproportionation but in H3PO4 it is +5 which is the highest oxidation state, so it
cannot. 1
(ii) F cannot show positive oxidation state as it has highest electronegativity/
Because Fluorine cannot expand its covalency / As Fluorine is a small sized 1
atom, it cannot pack three large sized Cl atoms around it.
(iii) Oxygen has multiple bonding whereas sulphur shows catenation / Due to
pπ-pπ bonding in oxygen whereas sulphur does not / Oxygen is diatomic
therefore held by weak intermolecular force while sulphur is polyatomic held by
strong intermolecular forces.
