The absorption at λmax 279 nm (ε = 15) in the UV spectrum of acetone is due to:
  • a)
    π-π* transition
  • b)
    σ-σ* transition
  • c)
    n-π* transition 
  • d)
    π-σ* transition
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Edurev.iitjam answered
The type of transition is responsible for a band at λmax = 279 nm in absorption spectrum of acetone. In case of n → π* transitions, the polar solvents form hydrogen bonds with the ground state of polar molecules more readily than with their excited states. Therefore, in polar solvents the energies of electronic transitions are increased.

The correct statement about the Cu–N bond distance in [Cu(NH3)6]2+ is:
  • a)
    All the bond distance are equal.
  • b)
    The axial bonds are longer than the equatorial ones.
  • c)
    The equatorial bonds are longer than the axial ones.
  • d)
    All the bond distances are unequal.
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Edurev.iitjam answered
- In [Cu(NH3)6]2+, there are six NH3 ligands arranged in an octahedral geometry around the central Cu2+ ion.
- The bond distances are different due to the difference in the orientation of the ligands.
- There are two types of bond distances in this complex: axial and equatorial.
- Axial bonds: These are the bonds that are perpendicular to the plane of the equatorial bonds. There are two axial bonds in this complex.
- Equatorial bonds: These are the bonds that lie in the plane of the complex. There are four equatorial bonds in this complex.
- The repulsion between the lone pairs of electrons on the NH3 ligands causes the axial bonds to be longer than the equatorial bonds.
- Therefore, the correct statement is that the axial bonds are longer than the equatorial ones (option B is correct).

For the reaction in equilibrium, A B

Thus, K is
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Sushil Kumar answered
From the  reaction
-d[A]/dt = d[B] /dt
⇒2.3 × 106 [A] = k [B]
 as given in question [B] /[A] = 4 × 108
so [A] / [B] = 1/ 4 ×108
⇒ 2.3 × 106 . [A] /[B] = k
⇒  2.3 × 106 / 4 × 108 = k
Or k = 5.8 × 10-3 /sec¹

What is meant by a body diagonal in a crystal lattice? How to find the formula of crystal when one body diagonal is removed?

Akshat Saini answered  •  Dec 25, 2024
Understanding Body Diagonal in a Crystal Lattice
A body diagonal in a crystal lattice refers to the diagonal line that connects two opposite corners of a three-dimensional unit cell. This line traverses through the interior of the cell, passing through the center. It is significant as it helps in determining the geometry and dimensions of the unit cell.
Importance of Body Diago
... more
- Geometric Representation: The body diagonal provides insight into the spatial arrangement of atoms in a crystal structure.
- Coordination Number: It influences the coordination number, which is the number of nearest neighbors surrounding an atom.
Finding the Formula When One Body Diagonal is Removed
When one body diagonal is removed from a crystal structure, the resulting changes can be analyzed as follows:
- Identify the Original Structure: Recognize the original unit cell and its formula based on the atoms and their positions.
- Analyze the Impact of Removal: Evaluate how the removal of a body diagonal affects atomic connectivity and symmetry. This can result in a shift in coordination numbers and bond lengths.
- Recalculate the Unit Cell: With the new arrangement, recalculate the number of atoms per unit cell.
- Derive the New Formula: The new empirical formula can be derived by adjusting the count of each type of atom based on the modified lattice.
Example of Modification
- Cubic Structure: For a cubic crystal, removing one body diagonal may lead to a change in symmetry, potentially altering it to a less symmetric form, such as a tetragonal or orthorhombic structure.
- Resulting Formula: If the original formula was AB with a specific ratio, the new formula could evolve to a different stoichiometric ratio depending on the remaining atomic arrangements.
By understanding these principles, you can effectively analyze the changes in crystal structures resulting from the removal of a body diagonal.

  • a)
    True
  • b)
    False
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Akshat Saini answered  •  Feb 11, 2024
Explanation:

The ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom or ion in the gaseous state. It is a measure of how tightly an electron is held by the nucleus of an atom. When an electron is removed from an atom, it requires energy to overcome the attractive force between the electron and the nucleus. Therefore, the ionization energy is always positiv
