Short Answer TypeAn element with molar mass 27 g mol-1 forms a cubic unit cell with edge length 4.05 x 10-8 cm . If its density is 2.7 g cm-3 , what is the nature of the cubic unit cell?
How would you account for the following?
Actinoid contraction is greater than lanthanoid contraction.
How would you account for the following?
Transition metals form coloured compounds.
In the presence of ligands, the d-orbitals of transition metal ions split up into two sets of orbitals having different energies. Thus, the transition of electrons takes place from one set to another. The energy required for these transitions is quite less and falls in the visible region of radiation. The ions of transition metals absorb the radiation of a particular wavelength and the rest is reflected, imparting colour to the solution.
For a reaction A + B → P, the rate is given by Rate = k[A] [B]2
(i) How is the rate of reaction affected if the concentration of B is doubled?
(ii) What is the overall order of reaction if A is present in large excess?
A first order reaction takes 30 minutes for 50% completion. Calculate the time required for 90% completion of this reaction.
(log 2 = 0.3010)
Account for the following:
(i) Acidic character increases from HF to HI.
(ii) There is a large difference between the melting and boiling points of oxygen and sulphur.
(iii) Nitrogen does not form pentahalide.
