Rutherford proposed the atomic meodel after his most stiking experiment an apha-scattering leading to discoveluy of nucleus . Bohr later on modified the atomci model on the balis of Planck's quantum theory of light and prosed the concept of stateonry cireclar orbits of quanise enrgy(nh) /( 2pi) The colloection of fine lines in line spectrum led Sommerfeld to gae the idea fo elliptical orbits .He successfully explained the existence fo subshells and their number in a shell . The angular momentum of subshells was proposed assqrt ( l(l +120)) . h/( 2 pi) . The emission of a spectral line in atomic spectra was supposed to be due to the jump of elecrtron from one enrgy level to other . The ninumum enrgy is given out when an elecrton jumps form one obit to oter form : |

Rules for to decide relative stability for different resonance structure |
| Answer» Solution :(i) Among the resonance structures, the one which has more number of covalent BONDS, all the atoms with octet of electrons (except HYDROGEN which has a duplet) are more stable. (ii) Among the resonance structures, less separation of opposite charges, (a negative charge if any on more electronegative atom, a positive charge if any on more ELECTROPOSITIVE atom) and more dispersal of charge, is more stable than others. | |

Rules for Markonikov's and explain with example. |
|
Answer» Solution :Propene reacts with HBr, gives product by 2-Bromo propane has electrophilic ADDITION reaction. Alkene reacts with HYDROGEN halide (HCl, HBr, HI) give product alkyl halide. This reaction is electrophilic addition reaction. (a) "RULE of markonikov" or give the addition reaction of alkene with HBr (HX) : Markovnikov gave rule as 1869. These generalisation in Markovnikov to frame a rule is called Markovnikov rule. The rule states that negative part of the addendum (adding molecule) gets attached to that carbon atom which possesses lesser number of hydrogen atoms. example :(a) Addition reaction of propene to HBr, product (I) and (II) is obtained but as per Markovnikov.s rule, product (I) b is only obtained. Addition of propene to HBr gives product (I) and (II). (b) As per Markovnikov.s rule, `Br^(-)` is reactant HBr, attaches with LESS number of hdyrogen and forms double donded product. It is a main product. Information of product formed by Markovnikov.s rule in reaction : In any reaction, product is obtained in major amount. Series of CARBOCATION in `3^(@) gt 2^(@) gt 1^(@) overset(+)(C)H_(3)`. In `pi`-bond, `pi`-electron having -ve charge, `H^(+)` is attarcted and `pi`-bond is broken, formation of `sigma` -bond stable carbocation is formed. (ii) First `Br^(-)` attaches fast with (y) and forms below product. Note : In unsaturated alkene C=C, both carbon can have different substitution but has same number of substitution. Reactivity of HX in alkene is `HI gt HBr gt HCl`. Reactivity of carbocation is `3^(@)-C^(+) gt 2^(@) -C^(+) gt 1^(@) - C^(+) gt overset(+)(C)H_(3)`. |

Rotations around carbon-carbon single bond of ethane is not completely free. Justify the statement. |
| Answer» Solution :Alkanes contain carbon-carbon sigma `(pi)` bonds. Electron distribution of the sigma molecular orbital is symmetrical around the inter nuclear axis of the C-C bond which is not disturbed due to rotatio about axis. This permits free rotation about C-C SINGLE bond. This rotation results into different spatial ARRANGEMENTS of atoms in space which can into ONE another. Such spatial arrangements of atoms which can be converted into one another by rotation around a C-C single bond are called conformation or conformer or rotamers. Alkanes canhave infinite number of conformations by rotations arounf C-C single bonds. How ever, it may be remebered that rotation around a C-C single by a small bond is not completely free. It is HINDERED by a small energy barrier of `1-20 KJ mol^(-1)` due to weak repulsive interaction between the adjacent bonds. Such a type of repulsive interaction is called torsional strain. | |
| 31. |
Rotation around carbon-carbon single bond of ethane is not completely free. Justify the statement. |
|
Answer» Solution :ROTATION about C-C single bond is restricted due to repulsions between the electron clouds of C-H bond on adjacent carbon atoms . As a resultof these repulsions, ethane exists in infinite number of conformations out of which two extreme conformations ,i.e., staggered and eclipsed are important . The staggered conformation is , however , more STABLE than the eclipsed conformation by about 12.55 kJ `mol^(-1)`. This ENERGY difference of `12.55 kJ mol^(-1)` between the staggered and the eclipsed conformation is , in fact, the energy barrier to rotation about C-C single bond in ethane . However, this energy barrier is not large enough to prevent rotation . EVEN at room temperature, collisions of the molecules supply sufficient kinetic energy to overcome this energy barrier. Thus, the two conformations are readily interconvertible . As a result , it is not possible to separate the two confomations of ethane. However, at any given moment, most of the molecules would exist in the staggered conformation due to its MINIMUM energy and maximum stability. |

RNC acts only as a nucleophile but not an electrophile. Explain why. |
| Answer» Solution :`R-overset(+)(N)-=C:^(-)`. Although N has a +ve charge but in cannot accept a pair of electrons because it has already 8 electrons in the valence shell and cannot expand its valence shell beyond 8 due to the absence of d-orbitals. Therefore, it cannot act as an electrophile. However, due to the presence of a -ve charge on carbon, it is EASILY donate a pair of electrons and HENCE can act as a nucleophile. | |
