All the complex are d6 and contain weak field ligand

(22) The order of increasing bronsted acidity for
boron hydrides is
(1.) B5H9 < B6H10 < B10H14

(3.) B6H10 < B10H14 < B5H9

Acidity of boron hydride depends on the size of
borane greater the sizes higher will be the acidity.
This is because the negative charge, formed upon
deprotonation, can be better delocalized over a large
anion with many boron atoms than over a small one.

The color changes observed with redox indicators at
the equivalence point is due to structural changes in
the indicator molecules. The redox indicators used
are organic molecules; they undergo structural

changes upon being oxidized or reduced. This can he

illustrated with ferroin indicator which is the iron(II)
complex of the organic compound 1,10phananthroline (Fig. 4.8}.

Each of the two nitrogen atoms in 1, 10phenanthroline has an unshared pair of electrons that
can be shared with the Fe(II) ion. Three such ligand
molecules get attached to one Fe(II) ion to form a
blood red complex ion. This complex can he
oxidized to the corresponding light blue
Fe(III) complex with the same structure. Therefore, a
sharp colour change from red to blue occurs on
oxidation of the complex.
[Ph3Fe]2+ [Ph3Fe]3+ + e- E0 = -1.06 V
The indicator is prepared by mixing equivalent
quantities of iron(II) sulphate and 1, 10phananthroline. The resulting Fe(II) complex
sulphate is called Ferroin. The Fe(III) complex
sulphate is called ferrin. The colour changes occur at
about -1.11 V (not at -1.06), since the color of ferroin
is so much more intense than that of ferrin.

(3.) Two bonds are longer than four others
(4.) They are shorter than the Mn-O bond in [MnO4]Soln (1)

The three 5p electrons are promoted to higher energy

The 5s three 5p and one 5d orbitals hybridize to give

orbitals are used for bond formation to two uorine
and two oxygen atoms. The fth hybrid orbital
contains the lone pair. The other 5d electrons of
xenon which do not take part in the hybridization
scheme are involved in -bond formation to two
oxygen atoms. The structure of XeO2F2 is

Soln (1)
The lanthanide and actinide elements are all metallic
and are formally members of Group 3 of the Periodic
Table. They all form 3+ ions in their compounds and
in aqueous solution, with few exceptions. The
actinide elements form a larger range of oxidation

states than the lanthanides, but the 3+ ions are used

in this section for comparison purposes. Figure
shows the lanthanides metallic and 3+ ionic radii.
There is an almost regular decrease in metallic radius
along the lanthanide series, with discontinuities at Eu
and Yb. Most of the Lanthanide metals contribute
three electrons to bands of molecular orbitals
constructed from the 5d and 6s atomic orbitals, their
other valency shell

electrons remaining as 4fn congurations that do not

interact with those on neighboring atoms. In the
cases of Eu and Yb, the atoms only contribute two
electrons to the 5d/6s bands and retain the
congurations 4f7and 4F14, respectively, and so
maximize their exchange energies of stabilization.
The contributions of only two electrons each to the
bonding bands makes the Eu and Yb metallic radii
larger than those of their neighbors that contribute
three electrons.
The 3+ ions have regular 4f orbital llings, and there
is an almost linear decrease in their ionic radii along
the series. This is known as the Lanthanide
contraction, and has consequences for the transition
elements

When chlorine is present, the M + 2 peak becomes
very significant. The heavy isotope these elements is
two mass units heavier than the lighter isotope. The
natural abundance of 37Cl is 32.5% that of 35Cl.
When Chlorine is present, the M + 2 peak becomes
quite intense. If a compound contains two chlorine
atoms, a distinct M + 4 peak, as well as an intense M
+ 2 peak, should be observed.

Steps to Analyze NMR Spectra

a. First we know that delta value of aromatic protons
comes at 7.2 . So the first delta value 7.75 indicates
the proton is deshielded . so it must be adjacent to
EWG. Further since it is doublet of doublet hence
there must be meta and ortho coupling based on their
J values.
So 1 and 4th option are straight away ruled out since
the above condition is not followed.
Further in 3rd , all the three aromatic protons will give
doublet of doublet which is clearly not the case.

ZSM-5 is an acid catalyst and is typically used for

The 5d orbitals of Re are higher in energy than the 3d
orbitals of Mn, so an LMCT excitation requires more
energy for ReO-. In addition, since the molecular
orbitals derived primarily from the 3d orbitals of
MnO4- are lower in energy than the corresponding
MOs of ReO4-, MnO4- is better able to accept
electrons; it is a better oxidizing agent.

chosen because (I) both CO(III) and Cr(III) form
inert complexes and (2) the complexes of Co(II) and
Cr(III) are labile.
Under these circumstances the chlorine atom, while
remaining rmly attached to the inert Co(III) ion, can
displace a water molecule from the labile Cr(III)
complex to form a bridged intermediate:
[Co(NH3)3Cl]2+ + [Cr(H2O)6]2+ [(H3N)5Co-ClCr(OH2)5]4+ + H2O
The redox reaction now takes place within this
dinuclear complex with formation of reduced Co(II)
and oxidized Cr(III). The latter species forms an inert
chloroaqua complex, but the cobalt(II) is labile, so
the intermediate dissociates with the chlorine atom

Expansion of gas into vacuum and freezing of water

However , it is sometimes possible to cool liquid
water at low temperature without solidification. The
liquid below the freezing point is in the supercooled
state.This state is not quite stable and is known as
metastable state. The metastable state is
spontaneously converted into stable state by addition
of small amount of ice to the supercooled liquid ,
which will result in the solidification of water. This

(127) Stability of lyophobic dispersions is

determined by
(1.) inner-particle electric double layer repulsion and
intra-particle van der Waals attraction
(2.) inner-particle electric double layer attraction and
intra-particle van der Waals repulsion

The theory of the stability of lyophobic dispersions
was developed by B. Derjaguin and L. Landau and
independently by E. Verwey and J.T.G. Overbeek,
and is known as the DLVO theory. It assumes that
there is a balance between the repulsive interaction
between the charges of the electrical double layers on
neighboring particles and the attractive interactions
arising from van der Waals interactions between the
molecules in the particles. The potential energy
arising from the repulsion of double layers on
particles of radius a has the form

Reactants A and B have 3N-6 vibrational degrees of
freedom if non-linear, 3N-5 if linear. The same is
true of the activated complex, which has 3(NA + NB)6 vibrational modes if it is non-linear. One of these
modes is of a different character from the rest
corresponding to a very loose vibration that allows

the complex to dissociate into products. For this

degree of freedom we can use a vibrational partition
function q* in which the vibrational frequency v
tends to zero. i.e.
