In both water and dJmethyl ether (CH_(3) - underset(..)overset(..)(O) - CH_(3)) , oxygen atom is central atom, and has the same hybridization, yet they have different bond angles. Which one has greater bond angle ? Give reason.

Answer»

SOLUTION :DIMETHYL ether has greater bond angle than that of water, however in both the molecules central atom oxygen is `sp^(3)` hybridised with two lone PAIRS. In dimethyl ether, bond angle is greater `(111.7^(@))` due to the greater repulsive interaction
between the two bulky alkyl (methyl) groups than that between two H-atoms.

The C of `CH_(3)` group is attached to THREE H-atoms through o-bonds and three C-H bond pair of electrons increases the ELECTRONIC charge density on carbon atom.
17.

In both water and diethyl ether, the central atom viz. O-atoms has same hybridisation . Then why have they different bond angles ? Which one has greater bond angle ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :The central atom in each case is `sp^(3)` hybridized . Hence , expected
bond angle in each sase is `109^(@)28`' . The two pairs present on
O-atom repel the bond pairs and hence TEND to reduce the bond
angle . However, the greater repulsions between two ethyigroups,
in diethyi ether than between the two H-atoms in `H_(2)O` RESULT in
greater bond angle `(110^(2))` in diethyi ether than that in `H_(2)O`
`(104.5^(@))` .
18.

Inboth water anddimathyl ether (CH_(3) - overset(..) underset(. .)O - CH_(3)),oxygen atom is central atom, and has the same hybridisation, yet they have different bond angles . Which one has greater bond angle ?Given reason ,

Answer»

Solution :Dimethyl ether gas greater bond ANGLE than of WATER .
Reaon . Central atom in both is `sp^(3)` -hybridised with two LONE pairs

However, ELECTRON density on C of`CH_(3)`group is high because it is attached to three H-atoms `sigma ` -
bonds and these electron pairs add to the elecronic charge density on carbon. HENCE , the repulsions betweenltbr. the two methyl groups is more than between two H-atoms.

Is boric acid a protic acid ? Explain.

Answer»

Solution :No boric acid is not a PROTIC acid as it does not ionise in water to GIVE a proton `(H^+)` or hydronium `(H_3 O^+)` ion. In contrast, due to small size of boron ATOM and presence of only six electrons in the valence SHELL of boron in the molecule, `H_3BO_3` acts as a Lewis acid. When treated with water , it ACCEPTS a lone pair of electrons from the oxygen atom of the `H_2 O` molecule to form `[B(OH)_4]^-`

Due to the release of a proton in the above reaction, it acts as a weak monobasic acid.
22.

In Bohr.s model of hydrogen atom, the ratio between the period of revolution of an electron in orbit n=1 to the period of the electron in the orbit n=2 is

Answer»

`1:2`
`2:1`
`1:4`
`1:8`

SOLUTION :`(T_1)/(T_2) = (n_1^3)/(n_2^3) = (1^3)/(2^3) = 1/8 . Q(T = (2pir)/(V)) ` So `T PROP (n^3)/(Z^2)`
28.

In Bohr's model of hydrogen atom, the period of revolution of an electron in the 1st orbit to that in the 2nd orbit are in the ratio

Answer»

`1 : 2`
`2 : 1`
`1 : 4`
`1 : 8`

Solution :PERIOD of one revolution `(T) =(2pir)/(v)`
`:. (T_(1))/(T_(2)) = (2pi r_(1))/(v_(1)) xx (v_(2))/(2pi r_(2))= (r_(1))/(r_(2)) .(v_(2))/(v_(1))`
But `r_(n) = r_(1) n^(2), " i.e., " r_(2) = r_(1) xx 2^(2) = 4r_(1)`
or `r_(1)//r_(2) = 1//4`
and `v_(n) = v_(1)//n, " i.e., " v_(2) = v_(1)//2 or v_(2)//v_(1) = 1//2`
Hence, `(T_(1))/(T_(2)) = (1)/(4) xx (1)/(2)= (1)/(8), " i.e.," T_(1) : T_(2) = 1 : 8`
29.

In BF_(3), the B-F bond length is 1.30Å, when BF_(3) is allowed to be treated with mMe_(3)N, it forms an adduct, Me_(3)N to BF_(3), the bond length of B-F in the adduct is

Answer»

greaterthan 1.30 Å
smaller than 1.30Å
equal to 1.30Å
none of these

Solution :In `BF_(3)`, there is back bonding in between fluorine and BORON due to presence of p-orbital in boron.
, back bonding imparts double bond CHARACTERISTICS.
As `BF_(3)` forms adduct, the backk bonding is not LONGER PRESENT and thus double bond cahracteristic DISAPPEARS. hence, bond becomes a bit longer than earlier (1.30Å).

In asstronomical observations, signals observed from the distant stars are generally weak. If the photon detector receives a total of 3.15 xx 10^(-8)J from the radiations of 600 nm, calculate the number of photons received by the detector.

Answer»

Solution :Energy of one photon `= hv = h (c)/(lamda) = ((6.626 XX 10^(-34) Js) (3 xx 10^(8) ms^(-1)))/((600 xx 10^(-9) m)) = 3.313 xx 10^(-19) J`
