  • a)
    HF > H2O > NH3
  • b)
    H2O > HF > NH3
  • c)
    NH3 > HF > H2O ​
  • d)
    NH3 > H2O > HF
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Neha Joshi answered
H2​O>HF>NH3​
Strength of hydrogen bonding depends on the size and electronegativity of the atom. 
Smaller the size of the atom, greater is the electronegativity and hence stronger is the H−bonding. Thus, the order of strength of H-bonding is H...F>H...O>H...N. 
But each HF molecule is linked only to two other HF molecules while each H2O molecule is linked to four other H2​O molecules through H−bonding.
Hence, the decreasing order of boiling points is H2​O>HF>NH3​.

Direction (Q. Nos. 12 and 14) This sectionis based on statement I and Statement II. Select the correct answer from the code given below.
Q. 
Statement I : BF3 molecule is planar but NF3 is pyramidal.
Statement II : N atom is smaller than B.
  • a)
    Both Statement I and Statement II are correct and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I
  • b)
    Both Statement I and Statement II are correct and Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I
  • c)
    Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
  • d)
    Statement II is correct but Statement I is incorrect
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Statement I : BF3 molecule is planar but NF3 is pyramidal.
Statement II : N atom is smaller than B.

The correct answer is option 'B', which states that both Statement I and Statement II are correct, but Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I. Let's analyze each statement individually and then discuss the relationship between them.

Statement I explanation:
BF3 molecule is planar because it follows the VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) theory. According to this theory, the electron pairs around the central atom repel each other and try to get as far away as possible, resulting in a molecular shape that minimizes electron pair repulsion. In the case of BF3, the boron atom has three bonded pairs of electrons and no lone pair of electrons. The repulsion between these electron pairs causes them to arrange themselves in a trigonal planar geometry, resulting in a planar molecule.

NF3 molecule, on the other hand, is pyramidal because of the presence of a lone pair of electrons on the central nitrogen atom. The lone pair of electrons exerts greater repulsion compared to the bonded pairs of electrons, causing the molecular shape to deviate from the ideal tetrahedral arrangement. The three bonded pairs of electrons arrange themselves in a trigonal pyramid geometry, resulting in a pyramidal molecule.

Statement II explanation:
The statement says that the nitrogen atom is smaller than the boron atom. This is true because the atomic radius of nitrogen is smaller than that of boron. Atomic radius is defined as the distance between the nucleus of an atom and the outermost shell of electrons. As we move across a period in the periodic table from left to right, the atomic radius generally decreases. Nitrogen is located to the right of boron in the periodic table, so its atomic radius is smaller.

Relationship between Statement I and Statement II:
Statement II does not provide a direct explanation for why BF3 is planar and NF3 is pyramidal. The difference in molecular shape between these two molecules is primarily due to the presence or absence of a lone pair of electrons on the central atom rather than the size of the atom. The planarity of BF3 is a result of the absence of a lone pair, while the pyramidal shape of NF3 is a result of the presence of a lone pair. Therefore, while Statement II is true, it is not the correct explanation for the difference in molecular shape between BF3 and NF3.

The magnitude of displacement of a particle moving in a circle of radius a with constant angular speed w varies with time t as
  • a)
    2 a sin wt
  • b)
      
  • c)
    2a cos wt
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Naina Sharma answered
If a particle is moving with angular velocity=ω
Its angle of rotation is given by ωt 
Now displacement= length of line AB
Position vector of a particle is given by
R =iacosωt + jasinωt
Ro=ai
displacement =R−Ro
=a(cosωt−1)i+asinωj
d=√[(a(cosωt-1))2+(asinω)2]
=a√(2(1-cosωt))=a√(2×2(sinωt/2)2)=2asinωt/2

Work done by force of friction
  • a)
    Can be zero
  • b)
    Can be positive
  • c)
    Can be negative
  • d)
    Information insufficient
Correct answer is option 'A,B,C'. Can you explain this answer?

Om Desai answered
Since the motion of the body can be placed in the direction of friction, opposite to the direction of motion and even can not be placed in any motion.
So,  Work done by force of friction can be zero, negative, and can be positive.

Which of the following is not a correct floral character of the members of the family Solanaceae?
  • a)
    Flower : Zygomorphic
  • b)
    Calyx: Valvate aestivation
  • c)
    Stamens: Epipetalous
  • d)
    Fruit: Berry or capsule
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Sinjini Das answered
Answer:

The correct answer is option A) Flower: Zygomorphic.

Explanation:

The family Solanaceae, also known as the nightshade family, includes a wide variety of flowering plants. These plants have several distinct floral characteristics that help differentiate them from other families. Let's examine each of the given options to understand why option A is incorrect.

a) Flower: Zygomorphic:
Zygomorphic flowers are those that can be divided into symmetrical halves along only one plane. In Solanaceae, the flowers are typically actinomorphic, which means they are radially symmetrical and can be divided into similar halves along multiple planes. This feature allows for easier pollination by a wide range of pollinators. Therefore, option A is incorrect.

b) Calyx: Valvate aestivation:
Aestivation refers to the arrangement of floral parts in the bud. Valvate aestivation means that the sepals in the calyx overlap at the margins without any part being inside or outside the others. This is a correct floral character of Solanaceae. The sepals are usually green and fused at the base, forming a tubular or bell-shaped calyx.

c) Stamens: Epipetalous:
Epipetalous stamens are those that are attached to the petals. In Solanaceae, the stamens are often epipetalous, meaning they are attached to the corolla (petals) of the flower. This arrangement is common in many plants of the family and can be observed in flowers such as tomato, potato, and tobacco.

d) Fruit: Berry or capsule:
The fruit in Solanaceae can be either a berry or a capsule. A berry is a fleshy fruit with multiple seeds embedded in the pulp, such as tomatoes or peppers. On the other hand, a capsule is a dry fruit that opens to release its seeds, such as in the case of the genus Datura or Physalis. This is a correct floral character of Solanaceae.

In conclusion, the correct answer is option A) Flower: Zygomorphic, as the flowers of Solanaceae are typically actinomorphic rather than zygomorphic.

Amrita Khanna answered
Floral Formula of Leguminosae (Fabaceae) Family
The Leguminosae family, also known as Fabaceae, is characterized by specific floral structures that play a crucial role in their reproductive strategies.
Key Features of the Floral Formula:
- 5 Sepals: The flowers typically have five sepals that form the calyx, providing protection to the developing flower.
- 5 Petals: The corolla consists of five petals, which can be differentiated into a banner (the largest petal), two wings, and a keel (formed by the two lower petals). This arrangement aids in attracting pollinators.
- Numerous Stamens: The floral structure includes numerous stamens, which are responsible for producing pollen. Often, they are arranged in a unique way, with some being longer than others. This arrangement is essential for effective pollination.
- Compound Ovary: The ovary is typically superior and is often compound, meaning it consists of multiple fused carpels. This structure leads to the formation of legumes, which are the characteristic fruit of this family.
Conclusion
Therefore, the correct floral formula for the Leguminosae (Fabaceae) family is:
- 5 sepals, 5 petals, numerous stamens, and a single compound ovary.
This description aligns with option 'b', highlighting the intricate floral design that promotes efficient reproduction and adapts well to various pollinators. Understanding these features helps in recognizing the diversity and ecological significance of this plant family.

A person applies a constant force  on a particle of mass m and finds that the particle moves in a circle of radius r with a uniform speed v as seen (in the plane of motion) from an inertial frame of reference
  • a)
    This is not possible.
  • b)
    There are other forces on the particle.
  • c)
    The resultant of the other forces is  towards the centre.
  • d)
    The resultant of the other forces varies in magnitude as well as in direction.
Correct answer is option 'B,D'. Can you explain this answer?

Hansa Sharma answered
The person applies ‘F’ constantly in a fixed direction. So, to keep the particle in constant circular motion of radius ‘r’ and uniform speed ‘v’, some other force whose resultant varies in magnitude and direction also act on the particle. Since the resultant of F and other force has to have constant magnitude but varying direction, the magnitude and direction of the other force has to change from point to point on circle.

The correct statement is
  • a)
    The block will cross the mean position
  • b)
    The block come to rest when the forces acting on it are exactly balanced
  • c)
    The block will come to rest when the work done by friction becomes equal to the change in energy stored in spring.
  • d)
    None
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Upasana Roy answered
The question is incomplete and doesn’t make sense by itself. It should be changed to:
“A spring block system is placed on a rough horizontal floor. The block is pulled towards right to give spring an elongation less than 2μmg/K but more than μmg/K and released.
The correct statement is:”
Also add this image

Initially the spring block system will have only one form of energy and that will be spring potential energy stored in it. After the system is released from this position it starts to oscillate to and fro with friction acting on it. When the system comes to rest then the total stored potential energy will be converted into the work done by the frictional force on the block.

Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Arpita Saha answered
Explanation:

Position of the flower on the mother axis:
- The dot on the top of a floral diagram represents the position of the flower on the mother axis.
- The mother axis is the central axis from which all the floral parts arise.
- The dot serves as a reference point to indicate where the flower is located on the floral diagram in relation to the mother axis.

Significance of the dot:
- The position of the flower on the mother axis is crucial for understanding the arrangement of floral parts in a flower.
- It helps in identifying the relative positions of various floral organs such as sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels.
- By knowing the position of the flower on the mother axis, one can determine the symmetry, fusion, and other structural features of the flower.

Importance in floral studies:
- Floral diagrams are essential tools for botanists and students studying plant morphology.
- They provide a visual representation of the floral structure, making it easier to compare and classify different types of flowers.
- Understanding the position of the flower on the mother axis helps in accurately interpreting the floral diagram and deciphering the structural characteristics of the flower.
Therefore, the dot on the top of a floral diagram represents the position of the flower on the mother axis, aiding in the detailed study and analysis of floral structures.

A cart moves with a constant speed along a horizontal circular path. From the cart, a particle is thrown up vertically with respect to the cart
  • a)
    The particle will land somewhere on the circular path 
  • b)
    The particle will land outside the circular path
  • c)
    The particle will follow an elliptical path 
  • d)
    The particle will follow a parabolic path
Correct answer is option 'B,D'. Can you explain this answer?

Arka Desai answered
The particle will land outside the circle because its initial velocity in horizontal direction is in the tangential direction and its point of projection is somewhere at the circumference of the circle.
Also its path will be parabolic because it is a case of projectile motion with velocity in horizontal as well as vertical direction.
 

A ball of mass m is attached to the lower end of light vertical spring of force constant k. The upper end of the spring is fixed. The ball is released from rest with the spring at its normal (unstreched) length, comes to rest again after descending through a distance x.
  • a)
     x = mg/k
  • b)
     x = 2 mg/k
  • c)
    The ball will have no acceleration at the position where it has descended through x/2.
  • d)
    The ball will have an upward acceleration equal to g at its lowermost position.
Correct answer is option 'B,C,D'. Can you explain this answer?

Sparsh Datta answered
The ball is at rest, it has maximum potential energy. When the ball is released from rest with the spring at its normal (unstretched) length it loses some potential energy and energy of spring increases. Hence, loss in potential energy of the ball is equal to gain in potential energy of spring.
∴mgx=1/2​kx2
∴x=2mg/k​
Also, for x′=x/2​,
kx′=mg i.e. forces are equal thus, the ball will have no acceleration at the position where it has descended through 2x​.
And when ball is at lowermost position, the spring force will be
kx=2mg
Hence, the ball will have an upward acceleration equal to g at its lowermost position.

     0.5 m/s
  • c)
    0.4 m/s
  • d)
     0.3 m/s
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Crafty Classes answered
Linear Velocity of rotating object ν=ωr/sinθ
ω= angular velocity=0.1 rad/s
r is the distance of object from centre.
Angle = 45o
r = d/cosθ [where d is the distance from the spot light to wall] = 3/cos45o
Velocity = ν = ωr/sinθ
= [0.1x3/cos45degree]/sin45degree
= 0.1x3/sin45 degreecos45degree
= 0.3/[1√2 x 1 /2]
= 2x0.3
= 0.6m/s
The velocity of the spot P is 0.6 m/s
