Answer the question on the basis of passage given below :
All transition elements display typical metallic properties like high melting point, boiling point, tensile strength, high malleability and ductility, luster, etc. Their metallic character increases down the group and elements of \(4 d\) and 5d series exhibit higher metallic characters. They show variable oxidation states and forms a number of coloured compounds due to the presence of unpaired electrons which shows d-d transitions and makes them paramagnetic.
Which of the following will be coloured in aqueous medium?
- A \(\text{Sc}^{3+}\)
- B \(\text{Cu}^{+}\)
- C \(\text{Zn}^{2+}\)
- D \(\text{Cd}^{2+}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\text{Cu}^{+}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\text{Cu}^{+}\) electronic configuration: \([\text{Ar}]3\text{d}^{10}\) In aqueous medium, \(\text{Cu}^{+}\) disproportionates: \(2\text{Cu}^{+}(\text{aq}) \rightarrow \text{Cu}^{2+}(\text{aq}) + \text{Cu}(\text{s})\) \(\text{Cu}^{2+}\) electronic configuration:…

The osmotic pressure is one of the four colligative properties which depends on the number of particles of solute in the solution, irrespective of their nature. The osmotic pressure is equal to the product of concentration, gas constant and temperature. It is the most commonly used property for the determination of the molar mass of biomolecules. In many situations, the molecules get dissociated or
associated when they are dissolved in a solvent, thereby changing the number of molecules in the solution. As a result, an abnormal molecular mass is obtained. The extent of dissociation or association is given by van't Hoff factor (i), which is the ratio of normal molar mass to abnormal molar mass. It is related with the degree of association or ionization. The introduction of van't Hoff factor in the osmotic pressure equation modifies the equation.

Haloalkanes undergo nucelophilic substitution reactions owing to the polarity of CX bond. The nucleophile reacts with the haloalkane on the carbon possessing a partial positive charge holding the halogen atom. The halogen atom \(X\) is replaced by a nucleophile. Depending on the kinetics and mode of bond breaking, the mechanism can be either SN1 or SN2 reaction. The rate of SN1 reaction is governed by the stability of carbocation and in SN2 reaction, the rate of reaction is governed by steric factor. Chirality is the main factor in both SN1and SN2. In SN1 reaction, the chirality of alkyl halide is accompanied by racemization of the product, while in SN2 reaction, the product is characterized by inversion of configuration. The structure of alkyl halide and the nature of the solvent also governs the mechanism of the substitution.
