Question
Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:

For understanding the structure and bonding in transition metal complexes, the magnetic properties are very helpful. Low spin complexes are generally diamagnetic because of pairing of electrons, whereas high spin complexes are usually paramagnetic because of presence of unpaired electrons. Larger the number of unpaired electrons, stronger will be the paramagnetism. However magnetic behaviour of a complex can be confirmed from magnetic moment measurement. Magnetic moment $\mu=\sqrt{\text{n(n+2)}}\text{B.M.}$ where n = number of unpaired electrons. Greater the number of unpaired electrons, more will be the magnetic moment.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:

The aryl halides are relatively less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reactions as compared to alkyl halides. This low reactivity can be attributed to the following factors:

  • The C - X bond in halobenzene has a partial double bond character due to involvement of halogen electrons in resonance with benzene ring.
  • The C - X bond in aryl halides is less polar as compared to that in alkyl halides as sp2 hyridised carbon is more electronegative than sp3 hybridised carbon.

Williamson's synthesis is used for the preparation of symmetrical as well as unsymmerical ether. It is SN2 reaction mechanism. In Williamson's synthesis, 1º alkyl halide are used for preparation of ethers because 2º and 3º alkyl halide give alkene. Ethers are cleaved by hydrogen halides to alcohol and alkyl halide where alkyl halide is corresponding to that alkyl which has less number of carbon atom (it is because of less steric hindrance).

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:

Transition metal oxides are compounds fanned by the reaction of metals with oxygen at high temperature. The highest oxidation number in the oxides coincides with the group number. In vanadium, there is a gradual change from the basic V2O3 to less basic V2O4 and to amphoteric V2O5· V2O4 dissolves in acids to give VO2+ salts. Transition metal oxides are commonly utilized for their catalytic activity and semi conductive properties. Transition metal oxides are also frequently used as pigments in paints and plastic. Most notably titatnium dioxide. One of the earliest application of transition metal oxides to chemical industry involved the use of vanadium oxide for catalytic oxidation of sulfur dioxide to sulphuric acid. Since then, many other applications have emerged, which include benzene oxidation to maleic anhydride on vandium oxides; cyclohexane oxidation to adipic acid on cobalt oxides. An important property of the catalyst material used in these processes is the ability of transition metals to change their oxidation state under a given chemical potential of reductants and oxidants.
