Explain the following statement with reason: The fullerene is considered as purest allotrope of carbon.

Answer»

is present in crystalline forms and it also exists in the form of amorphous.  Carbon forms “different forms” are called “allotropes”. Example: diamond, GRAPHITE, and fullerene. MANY atoms are LINKED in a crystal in a repeated pattern that CONTAINS thousands of atoms.  For each carbon form, the “arrangement of atoms” in the crystal differs and explains why the various forms have different properties. One of the allotropic form of a carbon is a fullerene in which “carbon atoms” are “arranged in a sphere”. Each sphere has 60 carbon atoms and each carbon atom is linked by a single covalent. The bonds which are present in carbons are RELATIVELY weak. The fullerene is considered as purest allotrope of “carbon” because they have “smooth structure” without having dangling bonds.

How does the electron and current flow in the Daniel cell?

Answer»

In the Daniel cell, the electron current flows from Zn to Cu but the conventional current flows from Cu to Zn ii)        This is because, in the two ends of the wire the POTENTIAL difference is applied. By applying potential, the positive particles move from higher potential to the lower potential in the true SOLUTION iii)        Whereas the negatively charged particles moves from lower potential to higher potential region iv)        This concludes the flow of positive and negative particles is in the opposite direction. Here the net current is ZERO. But this case is not possible v)        To overcome this problem, direction of current is defined as direction of flow of positive charge and if negative charge is flowing then that current is taken in opposite direction. The two current (positive charge PARTICLE current and negative charge particle current) is then taken and added to FIND net current

Explain the terms: (a) screening effect (b) penetration effect (c) metallic character

Answer»

ening effect: The reduction in the attraction force exerted by the center part of atom called “nucleus” on the “valence electrons” due to the electrons PRESENCE in the “inner shells” is called the “shielding effect”. This effect increases if there is increase in the electrons numbers between the core and the “outermost electrons” in the “inner shells”. The screening effect order: “s-orbital” > “p-orbital” > “d-orbital” > “f-orbital”. b) Penetration effect: Electrons are “negatively charged” and attracted by the positive charge of the nucleus and also electrons are repelling each other. The balance of force of attraction and repulsion leads to shielding. Therefore, the electron ABILITY gets “CLOSE to the nucleus” called penetration. c) METALLIC character: The “metal character” refers to the “level” of “metal reactivity”. This decreases as we shift from “left to right” through a “period” in the “periodic table”. This happens because ATOMS accept electrons more readily to fill a “valence shell” than they lose to “remove” the “unfilled shell”.

Explain the important aspects of resonance with reference to the ion.

Answer»

tructure does not explain all the properties of the molecule. As a result, it is possible to draw a number of structures to explain all the FEATURES. These structures are called “RESONATING structures” and resonance which means that a molecule can be EXPRESSED in different forms and none of which can explain all the properties of the molecule. As in case of ion all the bonds are equivalent. Therefore, it is not correct to representation ion through ONE Lewis structure. INSTEAD three resonating structures can be drawn which are as follows:

Explain the following: (a) Alkynes are less reactive than alkenes towards electrophilic addition reaction. (b) Although benzene is highly unsaturated, it does not undergo addition reactions. (c) Birch reduction of but-2-yne gives trans-2-butene.

Answer»

to its higher density in electron, ALKYNES with triple bonds are easily attacked by "electrophiles", but are "less reactive" than "alkenes" due to the "compact" "C-C electron" CLOUD. As the ELECTROPHILIC addition of non-symmetric alkenes follows the Markovnikov rule, adding the electrophilic to the "less substituted" carbon. b) "Benzene" is highly unsaturated but does not normally undergo any additional reactions. Reason is it is an "aromatic compound" and is "stabilized" because of the resonance or the delocalization of electrons. It loses resonance stability if it undergoes additional reactions. c) "BIRCH reduction" is an "organic reaction" in which aromatic rings are reduced by 1 and 4 to provide "unconjugated cyclohexadienes". The reduction in liquid ammonia and in presence of alcohol is carried out by sodium or lithium metal.
