What are ligands? Classify them with example. |
|
Answer» Ligands: The ions or molecules bound to the central atom/ion in the coordination entity are called ligands. These may be simple ions such as Cl-, small molecules such as H2O or NH3, larger molecules such as H2N CH2CH2 NH2 or N(CH2CH2NH3)3 or even macromolecules such as unidentate proteins. When a ligand is bound to a metal through a single donor atoms such as Cl-, H2O or NH3, the ligand is said to be unidentate Eg.- Cl, H2O Bidentate: When a ligand is bound through two donor atoms, the ligand is called bidentate ligands. Eg.- H2N, CH2CH2NH2 or C2O42- Polydentate: N(CH2CH2NH2) Hexadentate ligand - (EDTA4+) |

what do you understand by the term refraction of light? |
|
Answer» the phenomenon, due to which a ray of light deviates from its original path, while travelling from one optical medium to another optical medium is called refraction of light. Refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one substance to another. Here the light ray passes from air to glass and back to air. The bending is caused by the differences in density between the two substance. |

D-galactose and D-glucose are |
|
Answer» D-Galactose is an epimer of D-glucose because the two sugars differ only in the configuration at C-4 . D-Mannose is an epimer of D-glucose because the two sugars differ only in the configuration at C-2 . When a molecule such as glucose converts to a cyclic form, it generates a new chiral centre at C-1 |

Does methene exists? If yes give its structure |
|
Answer» Methene do not exist in nature. This is because the alkene family have the general formula C n H 2n where n is a natural number(which starts from 1). If we substitute 1 in place of n, then we get the formula CH2. CH2 has no independent existence, as the tetravalent nature of carbon is being violated.To have a double bond you need at least two atoms, so ethene is the smallest possible alkene. |
|
| 33. |
Does methyne exist? If yes give its structure and if no then explain why? |
|
Answer» Methyne do not exist in nature because the alkyne family have the general formula C n H 2n-2 where n is a natural number(which starts from 1). If we substitute 1 in place of n, then we get the formula CH0 which cannot exist. So, the first member of this series is ethyne. Hence, the structure of methyne is not possible to find out. No, methyn does not exist because when we substitute 1 in place of n in the general formula we get CH0. |

Why is pH 7 neutral |
|
Answer» pH is a measure of the amount of Hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution. Ions are just atoms that have an electric charge on them, so H+ is a hydrogen atom with charge of 1. Even in pure water ions tend to form due to random processes (producing some H+ and OH- ions). The amount of H+ that is made in pure water is about equal to a pH of 7. That's why 7 is neutral. |

What are emulsion? What are their different types? Give examples of each type. |
|
Answer» An emulsion can be defined as a colloid consisting of two or more non-homogenous type of liquids wherein one of the liquid contains the dispersion of the different form of liquids. Properties Of Emulsions:
Types of Emulsion: Emulsions can be classified on the basis of the properties of the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium. 1) Oil in water (O/W): In this type of emulsion, the oil will be the dispersed phase and water will be the dispersion medium. The best example for o/w emulsion is milk. In milk, the fat globules (which act as the dispersed phase) are suspended in water (which acts as the dispersion medium). 2) Water in oil (w/o): In this type, water will be the dispersed phase and oil will be the dispersion medium. Margarine (a spread used for flavouring, baking and working) is an example of water in oil emulsion. |
