Question
Crystal structure of oxides of transition metals often show defects. Given reason. (2)
✓
Answer
The actual oxide structures, generally show departures from a regular arrays due in part to distortions caused by packing of ions of different size and to ligand field effects.

The solutions which boil at a constant temperature like a pure liquid and possess the same composition in liquid, as well as vapour state are called azeotropes. The components of azeotropes cannot be separated by fractional distillation. Only non-ideal solutions form azeotropes. Solutions with negative deviation form maximum boiling azeotrope and the solutions with positive deviation form minimum boiling azeotrope. The boiling point of azeotrope is never equal to the boiling points of any of the components of the azeotrope.
i. The azeotropic solutions of two miscible liquids show what type of deviation from Raoult's law?
ii. The azeotropic mixture of water & HCI boils at 108.5°C. What type of deviation is shown by the solution?
Does this solution behave as ideal or non-ideal?
iii. Do ideal solutions form azeotropes?

The d-block of the periodic table contains the elements of the groups 3 to 12 and are known as transition elements. In general, the electronic configuration of these elements is $(n-1) d^{1-10} n s^{1-2}$. The d-orbitals of the penultimate energy level in their atoms receive electrons giving rise to the three rows of the transition metals i.e. 3d, 4d and 5d series. However, $Zn , Cd$ and Hg are not regarded as transition elements. Transition elements exhibit certain characteristic properties like variable oxidation stables, complex formation, formation of coloured ions, alloys, catalytic activity etc. Transition metals are hard (except $Zn , Cd$ and Hg ) and have a high melting point.
i. Why are $Zn , Cd$ and Hg non-transition elements?
ii. Which transition metal of 3d series does not show variable oxidation state?
iii. Why do transition metals and their compounds show catalytic activity?
OR
iii. Why are melting points of transition metals high?

The unique behaviour of $Cu ,$ having a positive $E ^{\circ}$ accounts for its inability to liberate $H _2$ from acids. Only oxidising acids (nitric and hot concentrated sulphuric) react with $Cu ,$ the acids being reduced. The stability of the half$-$filled sub$-$shell in $Mn ^{2+}$ and the completely filled $d ^{10}$ configuration in $Zn ^{2+}$ are related to their $E ^{\circ}$ values, whereas $E ^{\circ}$ for $Ni$ is related to the highest negative $\Delta_{h y d} H ^{\circ}$. An examination of the $E_{\left(M^{3+} / M^{2+}\right)}^o$ values the low value for $Sc$ reflects the stability of $Sc ^{3+}$ which has a noble gas configuration. The comparatively high value for $Mn$ shows that $Mn ^{2+}\left( d ^5\right)$ is particularly stable, whereas a comparatively low value for $Fe$ shows the extra stability of $Fe ^{3+}\left( d ^5\right)$. The comparatively low value for $V$ is related to the stability of $V ^{2+} ($half$-$filled $t _{2 g}$ level$).$
$i.$ Why $Zn$ has high value for $M^{3+}/M^{2+}$ Standard Electrode Potentials?
$ii.$ Transition metals, despite high $E^\circ$ oxidation, are poor reducing agents. Justify.
$iii.$ Why is $Cr^{2+}$ reducing and $Mn^{3+}$ oxidising when both $Cr$ and $Mn$ have $d^4$ configuration?
$OR$
$iii.$ Why $Cu^{2+}$ is more stable than $Cu^+$ ?
