  1. a. Triclinic
  2. b. Monoclinic
  3. c. Orthorhombic
  4. d. Tetragonal

Solution:

  1. Answer: b

    The unit cell with crystallographic dimensions a ≠ b ≠c ; α = r = 90 and β≠90 is a monoclinic unit cell. Triclinic unit cell has crystallographic dimensions a ≠ b ≠c; α = β = r = 90°.

    Pentagonal unit cell has crystallographic dimensions a ≠ b ≠c ; α= β = r = 90°.

    Orthorhombic unit cell has crystallographic dimensions a ≠b ≠c; α = β= r = 90°.

    The monoclinic crystal system is one of seven crystal systems. A crystal system is described by three vectors. In the monoclinic system, the crystal is described by vectors of unequal lengths, as in the orthorhombic system. They form a rectangular prism with a parallelogram as its base. The unit cell will be monoclinic.

        2. b. [Co(NH3)6]3+
        3. c. [Co(Cl)6]3–
        4. d. [Cr(H2O)6]3+

        Solution:

        1. Answer: c

          When complex contains web ligand than CFSE has a lower value.

          Therefore, CFSE decreases in order

          [CO(NH3)6]3+> [Cr (CN)6]3– ≅ [Cr(CH2O)6]3+> [COCl6]3–

          Order of field strength is Cl– < H2O < NH3< CN–

          CFSE = (–0.4x + 0.6y) so

          x= number of electrons in eg

          y = number of electrons in eg

          so = 4 × (0.4) + 2 × 0.6

          = –0.4 ∆0

          For Cr 3+ cl3 low spin [Cr (CN)6]3– , [Cr (H2O)6]3+

          ∆0 = 3 × (–0.4) = 1.2∆0

          ∆0 = 6 × (–0.4) + 0 × 0.6 = – 2.4∆0

          Therefore, for [CoCl6] compare magnitude of ∆0 CFSE is minimum.

            σ1s2 σ *1s2 σ 2s2 σ *2s2 σ 2Pz2(παpα2 = παpy2)

            (π*2 px1=π*2Py )

            Total electrons in O+2 ions is 15

            Bond order = (Nb –Na)/2

            Nb = No. Of electrons in BMO

            Na = No. Of electrons in ABMO

            BO = (10-5/2)

            BO = 0.25

            Electronic configuration for O-2 is

            σ s2 σ *1s2 σ 2s2 σ *2s2 σ 2Pz2 σ(παpx2 = παpy2)

            (π*α px2=π*αPy1)

          1. a. BF3 is the strongest Lewis acid among the other boron halides
          2. b. Bl3 is the weakest Lewis acid among the boron halides
          3. c. There is maximum pπ–pπ back bonding in BF3
          4. d. There is minimum pπ–pπ back bonding in BF3

          Solution:

          1. Answer: c

            The maximum pπ– pπ back bonding exists in

            Bf3 because as the size of the halogen atom increases down the group, the overlapping of the vacant 2p-orbital of boron cannot take place easily and efficiently

            p-orbital will be of high energy levels.

          Question 56: Which of the following compound possesses the “C – H” bond with the lowest bond dissociation energy?

            Toluene exhibits lowest bond dissociation energy because of involvement of C–H in hyperconjugation.

          Question 57: In presence of HCl, H2S results in the precipitation of Group-2 elements but not Group-4 elements during qualitative analysis. It is due to

          1. a. higher concentration of S2–
          2. b. higher concentration of H+
          3. c. lower concentration of S2–
          4. d. lower concentration of H+

          Solution:

          1. Answer: c

            H2S is a weak electrolyte.

            Therefore, it ionizes slightly but HCl is a strong electrolyte.

            So it can be easily ionized.

            \(H_{2}S\rightleftharpoons 2H^{+}+S^{-2}\)

            HCl →H++ Cl–

            If DOD of H2S is low then the concentration of S–2 will also be low.

            sulphides with low solubility will be easily precipitated.
