A compound is formed by 2 elements P and Q. Atoms of element Q (as anions) makes ccp and those of P (as cations) fill all tetrahedral voids and also occupy half of the octahedral voids. What is the correct formula of this compound?
- A P2Q5
- B P5Q2
- C P2Q3
- D P3Q2
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) P5Q2
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Number of Q atoms in ccp = \( 4 \) Number of tetrahedral voids = \( 2 \times 4 = 8 \) Number of octahedral voids = \( 4 \) Number of P atoms = (all tetrahedral voids) + (half octahedral voids) = \( 8 + (4 \times \frac{1}{2}) = 8 + 2 = 10 \) Ratio P:Q = \( 10:4 = 5:2 \) Formula =…

Many halogen containing organic compounds are present in nature and some of them are clinically useful. These classes of organic compounds find a wide range of applications in our daily life as well as in industries. Many of the polyhalogen compounds are useful too in agriculture. However, some of these compounds cannot be easily decomposed and are thus considered to be environmental hazards. These halo compounds are prepared via different synthetic routes where a variety of organic compounds can be used as substrates such as amines, hydrocarbons etc. They are used as solvents for relatively non-polar compounds. These compounds exhibit substitution and elimination reactions, in addition to their reactions with different metals, which leads to the formation of a versatile starting material for others organic compounds.

\(KMnO _4\) is prepared by the fusion of \(MnO _2\) with an alkali metal hydroxide and an oxidizing agent like \(KNO _3\) to give a dark-green manganate ion which disproportionate to give permanganate as follows.
\(\begin{array}{l}2 MnO _2+4 KOH + O _2 \rightarrow 2 K_2 MnO _4+2 H _2 O \\ 3 K_2 MnO _4+4 H ^{+} \rightarrow 2 KMnO _4+ MnO _2+2 H _2 O \end{array}\)
On heating \(K _2 MnO _4\) decomposes at 513 K to give \(K _2 MnO _4\). Permanganate ion is tetrahedral and diamagnetic

Insulin consists of two short polypeptide chains- chain A and chain B, that are linked together by disulphide bridges. Some strains of Bacillus thuringiensis produce proteins that kill certain insects such as lepidopterans, coleopterans and dipterans. Bt toxin protein is converted into an active form of toxin due to the alkaline pH of the gut which solubilise the crystals. Transgenic animals that produce useful biological products can be created by the introduction of the portion of DNA (or genes) which codes for a particular product such as human protein (alpha-1-antitrypsin) used to treat emphysema. Plants, bacteria, fungi and animals whose genes have been altered by manipulation are called Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO). GM plants have been useful in many ways. Genetic modification has: (i) made crops more tolerant to abiotic stresses. (ii) reduced reliance on chemical pesticides (pest-resistant crops). (iii) helped to reduce post harvest losses. (iv) increased efficiency of mineral usage by plants (this prevents early exhaustion of fertility of soil). (v) enhanced nutritional value of food.
