Each P atom forms three bonds to oxygen atoms and also an additional coordinate bond with an oxygen atom.
Terminal coordinate P—O bond is much shorter than the expected P—O bond length. This shows the presence of
considerable pp–dp back bonding because of the lateral overlap of full p orbital on oxygen with empty d orbital
on phosphorus.

Cl– is a weak ligand, it has no effect on pairing 3d electrons, thus forms high-spin complex.
CN– is a strong ligand. It can paired 3d electrons, thus forms low-spin complex.
7. Since the equilibrium constant decreases on increasing temperature, the reaction must be exothermic and thus
have Dr H= –ve

10. —NO2 is acid strengthening. Its affect at para position is more than at meta position. This is due to the fact at
para position, nitro group generates. Some positive charge on the carbon bearing —COOH group. This causes
electron-with drawing effect making para isomer more acidic than meta isomer. Ortho isomer is most acidic due
to the ortho effect.
11. Copolymers are formed from two or more repeating monomer units. Examples are Saran (formed from vinyl

(5)(M/ 20)(50.0 mL)

we get M H 2O2 = = 0.625 M
(2)(10 mL)
Mass of 1000 mL of H2O2 sample = (1000 mL) (1.4 g mL–1) = 1400 g
Mass of H2O2 in the solution = (0.625 mol) (32 g mol–) = 20 g
Mass of water in the solution = (1400 – 20) g = 1380 g
n2 0.625 mol
Molality of the solution = = = 0.453 mol kg -1
m1 1.380 kg
n2 0.625
Mole fraction of H2O in the solution = = = 0.008
n1 + n2 (1380 / 18) + 0.625
The volume strength of H2O2 is based on the reaction 2H2O2 Æ 2H2O + O2.
2 mol H2O2 gives 1 mol of O2 or 22:414 L of O2 at STP
Ê 22.414 ˆ
Hence, 0.625 mol per litre of solution of H2O2 will liberate Á (0.625 M ) = 7.00

13. In Frenkel defect, the ion, instead of being in its expected location, is found in one of the interstices. This defect
is favoured by a large difference in size between the cation and anion of the solid. Schottky defect involves the
absence of cation or anion from the position which it is expected to occupy in the periodic arrangement of ions.
This affects the physical properties of solids.
14. The reaction is 2NaNO3(s) 2NaNO2(s) + O2(g); DH = +ve
Since the reaction is endothermic, increase in temperature will shift the reaction in the forward direction.
Since, Dng is positive, increasing pressure will cause the reaction to move in reverse direction.
Adding either NaNO3(s) or NaNO2(s) has no effect on equilibrium.

(b) In guanidine, the imino (=NH) nitrogen is sp2 hybridised while amino (–NH2) is sp3 hybridised. The proton
is likely to be attached to –NH2 as its nitrogen has less s-character. Actually the imino nitrogen is protonated
