Note: Questions with (*) mark are from syllabus of class XI.
1. In spectrochemical series chlorine is above water i.e. Cl > H2O, this is due to :
(1) good -acceptor properties of Cl. (2) strong -donor and good -acceptor properties of Cl.
(3) good -donor properties of Cl. (4) larger size of Cl than H2O.
Sol.: In spectrochemical series, chlorine is above water because the size of Cl is larger than H 2O so it can form weak -bond to the
metal ion as compared to H2O. Cl would thus be a weak  donor as compared to O.

Sol.: Nylon 6, 6 is a polyamide containing polar amide linkages, which are bonded through hydrogen bonding.
Buna-S and polythene are both hydrocarbon polymers having –C–C–linkages only but since Buna-S is a copolymer of
butadiene and styrene, it will have larger surface area w.r.t polythene, so stronger inter molecular forces are present in Buna-
S than in polythene.
