Interstitial compounds are formed when small atoms are trapped inside the crystal lattice of metals. Which of the following is not the characteristic property of interstitial compounds?
A
They have high melting points in comparison to pure metals.
$$\eqalign{
& M{n^{ + + }} - 5\,\,{\text{unpaired}}\,{\text{electrons}} \cr
& {\text{F}}{{\text{e}}^{ + + }} - 4\,{\text{unpaired}}\,{\text{electrons}} \cr
& T{i^{ + + }} - 2\,{\text{unpaired}}\,{\text{electrons}} \cr
& C{r^{ + + }} - 4\,{\text{unpaired}}\,{\text{electrons}} \cr} $$
hence maximum no. of unpaired electron is present in $$M{n^{ + + }}.$$
NOTE : Magnetic moment $$ \propto $$ number of unpaired
electrons

A red solid is insoluble in water. However it becomes soluble if some $$KI$$ is added to water. Heating the red solid in a test tube results in liberation of some violet coloured fumes and droplets of a metal appear on the cooler parts of the test tube. The red solid is
When $$KI$$ is added to mercuric iodide it disssolve in it and form complex.

Which of the following does not represent the correct order of the properties indicated?
In a period on moving from left to right ionic radii decreases. So, the order of cationic radii is
$$C{r^{2 + }} > M{n^{2 + }} > F{e^{2 + }} > N{i^{2 + }}$$
In $$Sc > Ti > Cr > Mn$$ (correct order of atomic radii)

Amongst $$TiF_6^{2 - },CoF_6^{3 - },C{u_2}C{l_2}$$ and $$NiCl_4^{2 - },$$ which are the colourless species? ( atomic number of $$Ti = 22,Co = 27,Ni = 28,Cu = 29,$$ )
In $$TiF_6^{2 - }$$ titanium is in + 4 oxidation state. In $$C{u_2}C{l_2},$$ the copper is in + 1 oxidation state. Thus in both cases, transition from one $$d$$ - orbital to other is not possible.
$$\eqalign{
& Ti - 3{d^2}4{s^2} \to T{i^{4 + }} - 3{d^0}4{s^0} \cr
& Cu - 3{d^{10}}4{s^1} \to C{u^{1 + }} - 3{d^{10}}4{s^0} \cr} $$

Knowing that the chemistry of lanthanoids$$\left( {Ln} \right)$$ is dominated by its $$ + 3$$ oxidation state, which of the following statements is incorrect?
A
The ionic size of $$Ln\,\left( {III} \right)$$ decrease in general with increasing atomic number
B
$$Ln\,\left( {III} \right)$$ compounds are generally colourless.
C
$$Ln\,\left( {III} \right)$$ hydroxide are mainly basic in character.
D
Because of the large size of the $$Ln\,\left( {III} \right)$$ ions the bonding in its compounds is predominantly ionic in character.
Answer :
$$Ln\,\left( {III} \right)$$ compounds are generally colourless.
Most of the $$L{n^{3 + }}$$ compounds except $$L{a^{3 + }}$$ and $$L{u^{3 + }}$$ are coloured due to the presence of $$f$$ -electrons.

Magnetic moment $$2.84$$ $$BM$$ is given by
$$\left( {{\text{At}}{\text{.}}\,{\text{no}}{\text{.}}\,Ni = 28,Ti = 22,} \right.$$ $$\left. {Cr = 24,Co = 27} \right)$$
The reaction of aqueous $$KMn{O_4}$$ with $${H_2}{O_2}$$ in acidic medium is
$$3{H_2}S{O_4} + 2KMn{O_4} + 5{H_2}{O_2} \to $$ $$5{O_2} + 2MnS{O_4} + 8{H_2}O + {K_2}S{O_4}$$
In the above reaction, $$KMn{O_4}$$ oxidises $${H_2}{O_2}$$ to $${O_2}$$ and itself i.e. $$\left[ {MnO_4^ - } \right]$$ gets reduced to $$M{n^{2 + }}$$ $$ion$$ as $$MnS{O_4}.$$ Hence, aqueous solution of $$KMn{O_4}$$ with $${H_2}{O_2}$$ yields $$M{n^{2 + }}$$ and $${O_2}$$ in acidic conditions.
