How many geometrical isomers are possible for [Pt(NH₃)(Br)(Cl)(py)] ?

For a square planar [Ma b c d] complex, 3 geometrical isomers are possible by varying the relative positions of the four different ligands. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Which element has the configuration 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d^{10 4s² 4p⁶?

Given: Which element has the configuration 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d^{10 4s² 4p⁶? These values define the system as per NCERT data. Formula: Total electrons = 2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 6 + 10 + 2 + 6 = 36, corresponding to krypton (Z = 36).. This is standard NCERT relation. Substitution & Calculation: Substituting values and simplifying step by step as per NCERT method. Result: The computed value matches expected outcome and confirms correct choice as per NCERT.

The number of unpaired electrons in Mn^{2+ (Z = 25) is:

Given: The number of unpaired electrons in Mn^{2+ (Z = 25) is: These values define the system as per NCERT data. Formula: Mn: 3d⁵ 4s². This is standard NCERT relation. Substitution & Calculation: Mn^{2+ : 3d⁵ . All 5 electrons are unpaired in the 3d orbitals, per Hund’s rule. Result: The computed value matches expected outcome and confirms correct choice as per NCERT.

For a reaction with Δ H = -50 kJ/mol and Δ S = 0.25 kJ/K · mol, at what temperature is Δ G = 0?

Given: For a reaction with Δ H = -50 kJ/mol and Δ S = 0.25 kJ/K · mol, at what temperature is Δ G = 0? These values define the system as per NCERT data. Formula: At equilibrium, Δ G = 0, so Δ H - TΔ S = 0. This is standard NCERT relation. Substitution & Calculation: T = Δ H / Δ S = -50 / 0.25 = 200 K. Result: The computed value matches expected outcome and confirms correct choice as per NCERT.

How many geometrical isomers are possible for [Co(NH₃)3Cl₃] ?

For an octahedral complex of type [Ma₃b3], two geometrical isomers are possible: facial (fac), where three identical ligands occupy one face, and meridional (mer), where they lie in a plane.

For 2H₂O(g) 2H₂(g) + O₂(g), decreasing volume will:

Given: For 2H₂O(g) 2H₂(g) + O₂(g), decreasing volume will: These values define the system as per NCERT data. Formula: Δ n = (2 + 1) - 2 = 1. This is standard NCERT relation. Substitution & Calculation: Decreasing volume (increasing pressure) shifts to reactants (fewer moles). Result: The computed value matches expected outcome and confirms correct choice as per NCERT.
