Dependence of the rate of reaction on the concentration of reactants, temperature, and other factors is the most general method for weeding out unsuitable reaction mechanisms. The term mechanism means all the individual collisional or elementary processes involving molecules $($atoms, radicals, and ions included$)$ that take place simultaneously or consecutively to produce the observed overall reaction. For example, when hydrogen gas reacts with bromine, the rate of the reaction was found to be proportional to the concentration of $H_2$ and to the square root of the concentration of $Br_2.$ Furthermore, the rate was inhibited by increasing the concentration of $HBr$ as the reaction proceeded. These observations are not consistent with a mechanism involving bimolecular collisions of a single molecule of each kind. The currently accepted mechanism is considerably more complicated, involving the dissociation of bromine molecules into atoms followed by reactions between atoms and molecules:
It is clear from this example that the mechanism cannot be predicted from the overall stoichiometry.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
To explain bonding in coordination compounds various theories were proposed. One of the important theory was valence bond theory. According to that, the central metal ion in the complex makes available a number of empty orbitals for the formation of coordination bonds with suitable ligands. The appropriate atomic orbitals of the metal hybridise to give a set of equivalent orbitals of definite geometry.
The $d-$orbitals involved in the hybridisation may be either inner $d-$orbitals i.e.$, (n - 1)d$ or outer $d-$orbitals i.e.$, nd.$

ln a reaction, the rates of disappearance of different reactants or rates of formation of different products may not be equal but rate of reaction at any instant of time has the same value expressed in terms of any reactant or product.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions :
Valence bond theory considers the bonding between the metal ion and the ligands as purely covalent. On the other hand, crystal field theory considers the metal$-$ligand bond to be ionic arising from electrostatic interaction between the metal ion and the ligands. In coordination compounds, the interaction between the ligand and the metal ion causes the five $d-$orbitals to split$-$up. This is called crystal field splitting and the energy difference between the two sets of energy level is called crystal field splitting energy. The crystal field splitting energy $(\Delta_0)$ depends upon the nature of the ligand. The actual configuration of complexes is divided by the relative values of $\Delta_0$ and $P\ ($pairing energy$)$.
If $\Delta_0<\text{P},$ then complex will be high spin.
If $\Delta_0>\text{P},$ then complex will be low spin

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 $sp^2$ hyridised carbon is more electronegative than $sp^3$ hybridised carbon.

Reason: Tertiary alkyl halides react predominantly by $S_N1$ mechanism.

Reason: Greater the stability of carbanion, greater is its ease of formation and hence, more reactive is the aryl halide.

Reason: Chlorobenzene undergoes nucleophilic substitution by elimination-addition mechanism while $4-$nitrochlorobenzene undergoes nucleophilic substitution by addition$-$elimination mechanism.
  1. Assertion: Chlorobenzene is less reactive than benzene towards the electrophilic substitution reaction.
Reason: Resonance destabilises the carbocation.
