An increase in the density is seen when moving from Ti to Cu in transition mental series. This can be attributed to ....
- A lanthanoid contraction
- B filling of f orbitals prior to d orbitals
- C Ineffective shielding of d electrons
- D Increase in atomic number and atomic size
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Ineffective shielding of d electrons
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The increase in density is due to a significant increase in atomic mass across the series while atomic volume either decreases or remains relatively constant. Ineffective shielding of d electrons leads to an increased effective nuclear charge, causing a contraction in atomic…

- Answer the question on the basis of passage given below:
Aldehydes are generally more reactive than ketones in nucleophilic addition reactions due to steric and electronic reasons. Sterically, the presence of two relatively large substituents in ketones hinders the approach of nucleophile to carbonyl carbon more than aldehydes having only one such substituent Electronically aldehydes are more reactive than ketones because two alkyl groups reduce the elctrophilicity of the carbonyl more effectively than in former.
