(III) areas of zero probability of ELECTRON in s- and p-orbitals
(iv) comparison of these areas of s-orbitals and p orbitals
3764.

'p'-orbital hasanodal plane while's'-orbital hasa nodal region. Elaborate with the help of a diagram

Answer»

Solution :Degenerate orbitals are orbitals having equal ener- gies belonging to same main energy LEVEL. Electrons can enter into any orbital. If an electron occupies one of the orbitals, the next electron NECESSARILY takes the same spin and enters into the other vacant orbital instead of pairing up with the electron in the lst orbital. The electrons always repel each other due to their same CHARGE. If they rotate around their axis in the same direction, they Will have similar magnetic moment and they will further repel each other and maintain maximum distance AMONG each other that gives RISE to the maximum stability

Out of two elements A and B with mass number 2 and 235 respectively. Which one is suitable for making. a) A nuclear reactor b) A hydrogen bomb Name the nuclear reaction involved in each case, write one difference between the two types of nuclear reactions.

Answer»

Solution : a) For a NUCLEAR reactor - element .B. with mass NUMBER 235 is suitable as a FUEL in nuclear reactor. b) For a hydrogen bomb - element .A. with mass number 2 is suitable for making the hydrogen bomb.
The nuclear reaction involved in
a) Nuclear reactor is nuclear fission reaction. b) Nuclear bomb is nuclear fusion reaction.
Difference between fission and fusion.
Fusion reaction RELEASES such greater energy with non- radioactive products than the energy released in fission reaction with radioactive products.

Out of soap and detergent, which is more effective? Why? The use of detergent has increased over soap. Why?

Answer»

Solution :Detergent is more effective. Soap reacts with the `Ca^(2+)` and `Mg^(2+)` ions present in hard WATER and gives PRECIPITATES. THUS, soap is wasted.
Detergent does not give precipitates with such ions but gives soluble salts. Due to this reason detergent is not wasted and so LESS quantity of detergent is enough for cleaning.
Thus, the USE of detergent has increased over soap.

Out of HCl and CH_(3)COOH,which one Is weak is weak acid and why?Describe an activity to support your anser?

Answer»

Solution :ACETIC acid `(CH_(3)COOH)` is a weaker acid because it does not dissocitated completelyinto its ions in aqueous solutio.
Activity:Add zinc metal in HCl and `CH_(3)COOH` respectively.The HYDROGEN gas will be evolved faster in HCl and SLOWLY in `CH_(3)COOH`
It shows acetic acid is a weak acid.
Alternative method:
If we use PH will be dark RED in HCl and light red in `CH_(3)COOH` which shows HCl is a strong acid and `CH_(3)COOH` is a weak acid.
