solid states. Why?

(b) Explain the structure of XeO3.

Ans: (a) NO has odd number of electrons (5 + 6 = 11 valencey e-). So NO is

paramagnetic in gaseous state. Where as in liquid & solid states NO exists

as N2O2 dimer and has even number of electrons (2 5 + 2 6 = 22
valencey e-). So N2O2 is diamagnetic.

15. What is Lanthanoid contraction? What are consequences of Lanthanoid
contraction?
Ans: The gradual decreage in atomic radii & ionic radii of 14 Lanthanoid elements

It is a second order (as the rate of the reaction depends on concentration of

both CH3Cl & OH-) and bi molecular (as 2 molecules are taking part in the
rate determining step).

Order of reactivity: 1- alkyl halide > 2- alkyl halide > 3- alkyl halide.
Effect of leaving group: RI > RBr > RCl > RF.

Stereochemistry: Complete inversion of configuration takes place. It is like

turning of inside of umbrella out when caught in strong wind.

n

In aniline, electron pair presents on N is involved in conjugation (resonance)

and is less available for protonation than that of methyl amine. So aniline is
less basic i.e. lowest kb or highest pkb. Therefore pkb of aniline is more than
that of methylamine.

Give a detailed account of the collision theory of reaction rates of

bimolecular gaseous reactions.

b
i
t

Ans: This theory was proposed by Arrhenius and developed by Max Trautz &
William Lewis to explain the rates of gaseous reactions.

a
r
p

It is based on kinetic molecular theory of gases.

According to this theory the reactant molecules are assumed to be hard

spheres.

u
d
a

Collisions must takes place between reactants (molecules) to occur a

reaction.

n
e
e
.
ww

Collisions are possible if 2 or more molecules are present.

The minimum energy must be possessed by the reactant.

Molecules to give products is called "threshold energy (ET)".

Molecules having other than threshold energy are called "normal

molecules".
Collisions between normal molecules are called "normal collisions", which
do not lead the chemical reaction, hence products are not formed.

www.eenadupratibha.net

www.eenadupratibha.net
In addition to the normal molecules, the molecules must acquire some extra
amount of energy, called " activation energy (Ea)".
Ea = ET - ER.

Proper orientation of reactant molecules lead to bond formation and

products are formed.

t
e
n

Collisions occuring between activated molecules with proper orientation

are called "effective collisions".

.
a
h

Effective collisions are less in number when compared to normal collisions.

b
i
t

The number of collisions per second per unit volume of the reaction
mixture is known as collision frequeny (Z). Activation energy also affects
the rate of a reaction.

P = Probability (steric) factor.

Ea = Activation energy.
R = Universal gas constant.

Rate of a reaction is determined by Ea & proper orientation of the

molecules.

Drawbacks:
It considers atoms or molecules as hard spheres.
It ignores structural aspect of molecules.
