What is the coordination number ( C.N.)of an atom in (i)primitive cubic unit cell (ii) body- centred cubic unit cell (iii)face-centredcubic unit cell.

Answer»

Solution : (i) In a primitive cubic unit cell, each ATOM has 6 EQUALLY spaced NEAREST nighbours.Hence, C.N. = 6.
(ii)In BCC,an atom at the body centre is surrounded by 8 nearest neighbours situted at the corners of the cube. Hence , C.N. = 8 ( REFER to fig 1.12)
(iii) In FCC, an atom is surrounded by 12 nearest neighbours ( 6 in its own, plane, 3 above and 3 below ). Hence C.N. =12

Which of the following have identical bond order ?

Answer»

`CN^(-)`
`NO^(+)`
`O_(2)^(-)`
`O_(2)^(2-)`

Solution :(A,B)
`CN^(-)`(NUMBER of electrons= 6 + 7 + 1 = 14)
`NO^(+)`(number of electrons= 7 + 8 - 1 = 14 )
`O_(2)^(-) `(number of electrons= 8 + 8 + 1 = 17)

Which of the two structures (A) and (B) given below is more stabilised by resonance ? Explain. underset((A))(CH_(3)COOH) and underset((B))(CH_(3)COoverset(Θ)(O))

Answer»

Solution :Resonance STRUCTURES of compound (A) and (B) are given below :

Resonance structure (II) carries separation of +ve and -ve charges and hence it is less stable than structure (I). AS a result, contribution of structure (II) towards resonance HYBRID of compound A is less than that of structure (I).
In CONTRAST, both the resonance of compound (B), i.e., III and IV are of equal energy and hence contribute EQUALLY towards the resonance hybrid of structure (B). THUS, structure (B) is more stable than structure (A).

Answer :A
29.

When heated in air , the alkali metals form various oxides . Mention the oxides formed by Li , Na and K .

Answer»

Solution :The reactivity of ALKALI metals towards oxygen increases down the group as the atomic size increases . Thus , Li forms only lithium oxide `(Li_(2)O)` , sodium forms mainly sodium peroxide `(Na_(2)O_(2))` along with a small amount of sodium oxide while potassium forms only potassium superoxide `(KO_(2))`
`4 Li + O_(2) overset(Delta) (to) 2 Li_(2) O , 2 Na + O_(2) overset(Delta)(to) underset("(Major)") (Na_(2)O_(2)) + underset("(Minor)") (Na_(2)O)`
`K + O_(2) overset(Delta)(to) KO_(2)`
This is because of the following two reasons :
(i) As the size of the METAL cations increases , the POSITIVE field around it becomes weaker and weaker therebypermitting the intially formed oxide `(O^(2-))` ion to combine with another oxygen atom to form FIRST peroxide ion `(O_(2)^(-))` and then superoxide `(O_(2)^(-))` ion .
`underset("Oxide") (O^(2-)) overset(1//2 O_(2)) (to) underset("Peroxide")(to) (O_(2)^(2-)) overset(O_(2))(to) underset("Superoxide")(2O_(2)^(-))`
(II) Since larger cations stabilize larger anions due to higher lattice energies , therefore , the stability increases from oxide `to` peroxide`to` superoxide as the size of the metal cation increases down the group and the size of the anion increases from oxide `to` peroxide `to` superoxide .
