Q21 mcq
Which of the following pairs has the highest difference in their first ionization energy?
a.
$\text{Xe}, \text{Cs}$
b.
$\text{Kr}, \text{Rb}$
c.
$\text{Ar}, \text{K}$
d.
$\text{Ne}, \text{Na}$ Correct Answer
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
Noble gases have very high first ionization energies, while alkali metals have very low first ionization energies. Across the periods from top to bottom, ionization energy decreases. The difference $\Delta IE = IE_1(\text{noble gas}) - IE_1(\text{alkali metal})$ is highest for the pair with the smallest principal quantum number, which is $\text{Ne}$ ($IE_1 = 2080.7\text{ kJ/mol}$) and $\text{Na}$ ($IE_1 = 495.8\text{ kJ/mol}$), giving $\Delta IE \approx 1585\text{ kJ/mol}$, which is significantly greater than for the other pairs.
Q22 mcq
The ligand in uranocene is:
a.
$\text{C}_8\text{H}_8^{2-}$ Correct Answer
b.
$\text{C}_5\text{H}_5^{2-}$
c.
$\text{C}_6\text{H}_6$
d.
$\text{C}_4\text{H}_4^{2-}$
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
Uranocene is the organouranium compound with the formula $\text{U}(\text{C}_8\text{H}_8)_2$. It is a sandwich complex comprising a uranium atom sandwiched between two cyclooctatetraenide dianions, $\text{C}_8\text{H}_8^{2-}$ (COT$^{2-}$), each donating $10\pi$ electrons.
Q23 mcq
In metal-olefin interaction, the extent of increase in metal $\rightarrow$ olefin $\pi-\text{back}-\text{donation}$ would
a.
lead to a decrease in $\text{C}=\text{C}$ bond length
b.
change the formal oxidation state of the metal
c.
change the hybridisation of the olefin carbon from $\text{sp}^2$ to $\text{sp}^3$. Correct Answer
d.
increase with the presence of electron donating substituent on the olefin.
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
According to the Dewar-Chatt-Duncanson model, metal-to-olefin $\pi$-back-donation populates the $\text{C}=\text{C}$ $\pi^*$ antibonding orbital. In the limit of strong $\pi$-back-donation, the complex is best described as a metallacyclopropane, where the $\text{C}-\text{C}$ bond order decreases toward a single bond and the hybridization of the olefinic carbons shifts from $\text{sp}^2$ toward $\text{sp}^3$.
Q24 mcq
The oxidation state of molybdenum in $\left[(\eta^7-\text{tropylium})\text{Mo}(\text{CO})_3\right]^+$ is :
a.
$+2$
b.
$+1$
c.
$0$ Correct Answer
d.
$-1$
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
In the neutral counting method: $\text{Mo}$ contributes $x$ valence electrons; the $\eta^7$-tropylium cation ($\text{C}_7\text{H}_7^+$) can be treated using the ionic model where tropylium is a cation $(\text{C}_7\text{H}_7^+)$ donating 6 electrons, and $\text{CO}$ ligands are neutral donating 2 electrons each. With a total complex charge of $+1$: $\text{Mo}^{n+} + (\text{C}_7\text{H}_7^+) + 3(\text{CO}) = +1 \implies n + 1 + 0 = +1 \implies n = 0$. Alternatively, treating the tropylium ring as a monoanion $\text{C}_7\text{H}_7^-$ or a neutral radical, both methods yield an oxidation state of 0 for molybdenum.
Q25 mcq
The reaction of $\left[\text{PtCl}_4\right]^{2-}$ with two equivalents of $\text{NH}_3$ produces
a.
$\text{cis}-\left[\text{Pt}(\text{NH}_3)_2\text{Cl}_2\right]$ Correct Answer
b.
$\text{trans}-\left[\text{Pt}(\text{NH}_3)_2\text{Cl}_2\right]$
c.
boths $\text{cis}-\left[\text{Pt}(\text{NH}_3)_2\text{Cl}_2\right]$ and $\text{trans}-\left[\text{Pt}(\text{NH}_3)_2\text{Cl}_2\right]$
d.
$\text{cis}-\left[\text{Pt}(\text{NH}_3)_2\text{Cl}_4\right]^{2-}$
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
Due to the trans effect, chloride ($\text{Cl}^-$) has a stronger trans-directing effect than ammonia ($\text{NH}_3$). In the first substitution step, one $\text{Cl}^-$ is replaced by $\text{NH}_3$ to form $[\text{PtCl}_3(\text{NH}_3)]^-$. In the second step, the incoming $\text{NH}_3$ ligand is directed to substitute a chloride trans to another chloride (since $\text{Cl}^-$ has a higher trans influence/effect than $\text{NH}_3$). This produces $\text{cis}-[\text{Pt}(\text{NH}_3)_2\text{Cl}_2]$ (cisplatin).
Q26 mcq
The electronic transition responsible for the color of the transition metal ions is
a.
$\text{d}_\pi \rightarrow \text{d}_\sigma$
b.
$\text{d}_\pi \rightarrow \text{d}_{\sigma^*}$ Correct Answer
c.
$\text{d}_\pi \rightarrow \text{d}_{\pi^*}$
d.
$\text{d}_\sigma \rightarrow \text{d}_{\pi^*}$
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
In an octahedral transition metal complex, the $d$-orbitals split into $t_{2g}$ and $e_g^*$ sets. The $t_{2g}$ orbitals ($d_{xy}, d_{yz}, d_{xz}$) are essentially non-bonding or weakly $\pi$-bonding ($d_\pi$), while the $e_g^*$ orbitals ($d_{z^2}, d_{x^2-y^2}$) are $\sigma$-antibonding ($d_{\sigma^*}$). Thus, typical $d-d$ transitions responsible for color correspond to $t_{2g} \rightarrow e_g^*$, which is a $d_\pi \rightarrow d_{\sigma^*}$ transition.
Q27 mcq
The number of metal-metal bonds in $\left[\text{W}_2(\text{OPh})_6\right]$ is:
a.
$1$
b.
$2$
c.
$3$ Correct Answer
d.
$4$
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
In $[\text{W}_2(\text{OPh})_6]$, the phenoxide ligands are monodentate monoanionic ligands ($-\text{OPh}$), so the oxidation state of tungsten is $+3$ ($d^3$ configuration, since $\text{W}$ is in Group 6). For two $\text{W}(\text{III})$ centers, there are $3 + 3 = 6$ metal valence electrons available to form metal-metal bonds. These 6 electrons completely fill the bonding molecular orbitals ($\sigma^2\pi^4$), resulting in a metal-metal triple bond (bond order = 3).
Q28 mcq
The Mulliken symbols for the spectroscopic states arising from the free-ion term $\text{F}$ are
a.
$\text{T}_{2\text{g}} + \text{E}_{\text{g}}$
b.
$\text{T}_{1\text{g}} + \text{T}_{2\text{g}} + \text{T}_{1\text{u}}$
c.
$\text{T}_{1\text{g}} + \text{T}_{2\text{g}} + \text{A}_{2\text{g}}$ Correct Answer
d.
$\text{A}_{1\text{g}} + \text{T}_{2\text{g}} + \text{T}_{1\text{g}}$
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
In an octahedral ligand field ($O_h$), a free-ion term with orbital angular momentum $L = 3$ (an $F$ term, which has $2L+1 = 7$-fold orbital degeneracy) splits into three states: $A_{2g}$ (1-fold), $T_{2g}$ (3-fold), and $T_{1g}$ (3-fold). Therefore, the resulting Mulliken symbols are $T_{1g} + T_{2g} + A_{2g}$.
Q29 mcq
Which of the following is used as propellant for whipping creams?
a.
$\text{N}_2\text{O}$ Correct Answer
b.
$\text{NO}$
c.
$\text{N}_2\text{O}_3$
d.
$\text{N}_2\text{O}_5$
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
Nitrous oxide ($\text{N}_2\text{O}$), also known as laughing gas, is widely used as an aerosol propellant in whipped cream dispensers. It is non-toxic, bacteriostatic, and easily dissolves into fats under pressure, foaming upon release.
Q30 mcq
Flame proof fabrices contain
a.
$\text{H}_2\text{NC}(\text{O})\text{NH}_2.\text{Na}_2\text{SO}_4$
b.
$\text{H}_2\text{NC}(\text{S})\text{NH}_2.\text{Na}_2\text{SO}_4$
c.
$\text{H}_2\text{NC}(\text{O})\text{NH}_2.\text{H}_3\text{PO}_4$ Correct Answer
d.
$\text{H}_2\text{NC}(\text{S})\text{NH}_2.\text{H}_3\text{PO}_4$
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
Flame-retardant (or flame-proof) fabrics often contain urea phosphate, $\text{H}_2\text{NC}(\text{O})\text{NH}_2\cdot\text{H}_3\text{PO}_4$. Upon heating, it decomposes to form polyphosphoric acids that promote char formation and release non-combustible gases, thereby inhibiting flame propagation.

A $0.1\text{ M}$ solution of compound A shows $50\%$ transmittance when a cell of $1\text{ cm}$ width is used at $\lambda_1\text{ nm}$. Another $0.1\text{ M}$ solution of compound B gives the optical density value of $0.1761$ using $1\text{cm}$ cell at $\lambda_1\text{ nm}$. What will be the transmittance of a solution that is simultaneously $0.1\text{ M}$ in A and $0.1\text{ M}$ in B using the same cell and at the same wave length? $[\log 20 = 1.301; \log 30 = 1.4771; \log 50 = 1.699]$
