Sodium chloride has a crystalline structure made up of $$N{a^ + }$$ and $$C{l^ - }$$ ions. Why does $$NaCl$$ not conduct electricity in solid state?
A
The ions of $$NaCl$$ become mobile only in molten state and are not free to move in solid state.
B
The crystalline structure does not have ions.
C
When a bond is formed between ions they lose their charges.
D
None of these.
Answer :
The ions of $$NaCl$$ become mobile only in molten state and are not free to move in solid state.
Due to electrostatic force of attraction, the ions do not move when electric current is applied in solid state. The ions become mobile when melted or dissolved in a polar solvent and conduct electricity.

Which one of the following molecules is paramagnetic?
The molecular orbital configuration of the molecules given is
Total no. of electrons in $$NO = 7\left( N \right) + 8\left( O \right) = 15$$
Hence $$E.C.$$ of $$NO$$
$$\eqalign{
& = KK\sigma {\left( {2s} \right)^2}{\sigma ^ * }{\left( {2s} \right)^2}\sigma {\left( {2{p_z}} \right)^2} \cr
& \pi {\left( {2{p_x}} \right)^2} = \pi {\left( {2{p_y}} \right)^2}{\pi ^ * }{\left( {2{p_x}} \right)^1} \cr
& = \pi * {\left( {2{p_y}} \right)^o} \cr} $$
Due to presence of one unpaired electron $$NO$$ is paramagnetic.
Except $$NO$$ all are diamagnetic due to absence of unpaired electrons.

The true statements from the following are
1. $$P{H_5}$$ and $$BiC{l_5}$$ do not exist
2. $$p\pi - d\pi $$ bond is present in $$S{O_2}$$
3. Electrons travel with the speed of light
4. $$Se{F_4}$$ and $$C{H_4}$$ have same shape
5. $$I_3^ + $$ has bent geometry
(A)
(B)
(C) Itisa pale blue gase. At $$ - {249.7^ \circ },$$ it forms violet black crystals.
(D) It is diamagnic in nature due to presence of paired electrons.

The electronic configuration of the outermost shell of the most electronegative element is
$$N{i^{ + 2}} + 4C{l^ - } \to \mathop {{{\left[ {NiC{l_4}} \right]}^{2 - }}}\limits_{s{p^3}} $$
$${\left[ {NiC{l_4}} \right]^{2 - }} = 3{d^8}$$ configuration with nickel in $$+ 2$$ oxidation state, $$C{l^ - }$$ being weak field ligand does not compel for pairing of electrons.
So,
$${\left[ {NiC{l_4}} \right]^{2 - }}$$
Hence, complex has tetrahedral geometry
$$N{i^{ + 2}} + 4C{N^ - } \to {\left[ {Ni{{\left( {CN} \right)}_4}} \right]^{2 - }}$$
$${\left[ {Ni{{\left( {CN} \right)}_4}} \right]^{2 - }} = 3{d^8}$$ configuration with nickel in $$ + \,\,\,2$$ oxidation state, $$C{N^ - }$$ being strong field ligand compels for pairing of electrons.
So,
$${\left[ {Ni{{\left( {CN} \right)}_4}} \right]^{ - 2}}$$
Hence, complex has square planar geometry.
$$N{i^{ + 2}} + 6{H_2}O \to {\left[ {Ni{{\left( {{H_2}O} \right)}_6}} \right]^{2 + }}$$
$$\left[ {Ni{{\left( {{H_2}O} \right)}_6}} \right] = 3{d^8}$$ configuration with nickel in $$ + 2$$ oxidation state. As with $$3{d^8}$$ configuration two $$d - $$ orbitals are not available for $${d^2}s{p^3}$$ hybridisation. So, hybridisation of $$Ni\left( {{\text{II}}} \right)$$ is $$s{p^3}{d^2}$$ and $$Ni\left( {{\text{II}}} \right)$$ with six co-ordination will have octahedral geometry.
Note : With water as ligand, $$Ni\left( {{\text{II}}} \right)$$ forms octahedral complexes.

The hybridization of orbitals of $$N$$ atom in $$NO_3^ - ,\,NO_2^ + $$ and $$NH_4^ + $$ are respectively:
The formula to find the hybridisation of central atom is
$$Z = \frac{1}{2}$$ [Number of valence electrons on central atom $$ + $$ No. of monovalent atom altached to it $$ + $$ negative charge if any $$ - $$ positive charge if any]
For $$N{O_3} - Z = \frac{1}{2}\left[ {5 + 0 + 1 - 0} \right] = 3$$
For $$NO_2^ + ,Z = \frac{1}{2}\left[ {5 + 0 + 0 - 1} \right] = 2$$
For $$NH_4^ + ,\,Z = \frac{1}{2}\left[ {5 + 4 + 0 - 1} \right] = 4$$
