On what ground can you say that scandium (Z = 21) is a transition element but zinc (Z = 30) is not? [NCERT Example] |
|
Answer» While considering INCOMPLETELY filled d-orbitals as a criteria for transition elements SCANDIUM ATOM in its ground state has 3d1 d orbital CONFIGURATION. Zinc has completely filled 3d10 electronic configuration in both ground state and in its oxidised states. Hence it’s not regarded as a Transition Element. |

How much heat in calories, and kilocalories, does it take to rise the temperature of 8q4g of water crom 18.0°c to 100°c. |
|
Answer» hope it helps youExplanation:The KEY to this problem lies in the value of the specific heat of IRON. c iron = 0.108 cal g − 1 ∘ C − 1 This TELLS you that in order to increase the temperature of one UNIT of mass of iron, i.e. of 1 g of iron, by one unit of temperature, i.e. by 1 ∘ C , you NEED to provide it with 0.108 cal . Now, you can use the specific heat of iron to figure out the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of 35.0 g of iron 35.0 g ⋅ 0.108 cal 1 g ⋅ 1 ∘ C = 3.78 cal ∘ C − 1 This tells you that in order to increase the temperature of 35.0 g of iron by 1 ∘ C , you need to provide it with 3.78 cal of heat. In your case, the temperature of the iron must increase by 35 ∘ C − 25 ∘ C = 10 ∘ C which means that you will need 10 ∘ C ⋅ 3.78 cal 1 ∘ C = 37.8 cal Now, you should round the answer to one significant figure, the number of sig figs you have for the change in temperature, i.e. for 10 ∘ C , but I'll leave it rounded to two sig figs heat needed = 38 cal −−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−− |

There is hardly any increase in atomic size with increasing atomic numbers in a series of transition metals. Give reason. [AI2012] |
|
Answer» s hardly any increase in the atomic SIZE with increasing atomic number because the FILLING of f ORBITALS starts before the d oritals and we knw that the f orbitals have poor shielding effect,so with growing nuclear charge the ELECTRONS are attracted more towards the NUCLEUS therefore there is no significant effect on the side. |

In the following questions a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.bvg (a) Both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. (b) Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion. (c) Assertion is not true but reason is true. (d) Both assertion and reason are false. Assertion: Cu2+ iodide is not known. Reason: Cu2+ oxidises I- to iodine. |
|
Answer» assertion and reason are TRUE, and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.Explanation:Copper is HIGHLY oxidizing metal. When it reacts with IODIDE ions, it oxidizes it to iodine where its valency changes from -1 in iodide ions to 0 in iodine. In the process, it reduces from copper 2+ to copper 1+ iodide. As its valency changes from 2 to 1 as it combines with iodide ion.Therefore, copper 2+ iodide is unknown |

Metallic radii of some transition elements are given below. Which of these elements will have highest density? [NCERT Exemplar] (a) Fe (b) Ni (c) Co (d) Cu |
|
Answer» Option DExplanation:Density of an element is equal to MASS divided by volume and volume is proportional to radius.Therefore, density is directly proportional to mass and inversely to the radius. Among the given options Cu has the highest mass but the radius of Cu is little greater than Ni. Hence, Ni has a greater density than Cu.Important POINT : Along 3d series, density of elements CONTINUOUSLY increases. TILL Ni, it increases very sharply but after Ni, to Zn increases SLOWLY. |
