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.

According to Valence Bond theory, the metal atom or ion under the influence of ligands can use its ( \(n-1) d, n s, n p\) or \(n s, n p, n d\) orbitals for hybridisation to yield a set of equivalent orbitals of definite geometry such as octahedral, tetrahedral, square planar and so on. These hybridised orbitals are allowed to overlap with ligand orbitals that can donate electron pairs for bonding. While the VB theory, to a larger extent, explains the formation, structures and magnetic behaviour of coordination compounds, it suffers from the many shortcomings. The Crystal field theory (CFT) is an electrostatic model which considers the metal-ligand bond to be ionic arising purely from electrostatic interactions between the metal ion and the ligand. The five \(d\) orbitals in an isolated gaseous metal atom/ion have same energy, i.e., they are degenerate. This degeneracy is maintained if a spherically symmetrical field of negative charges surrounds the metal atom/ion. However, when this negative field is due to ligands in a complex, it becomes asymmetrical and the degeneracy of the \(d\) orbitals is lifted. It results in splitting of the \(d\) orbitals. The pattern of splitting depends upon the nature of the crystal field.
Select the incorrect statement about the Crystal field splitting in octahedral complexes.CUET 2025 Medium - The properties which depend on the number of solute particles irrespective of their nature relative to the total number of particles in the solution are called colligative properties. These are relative lowering of vapour pressure of the solvent, depression of freesing point of the solvent, elevation of boiling point of the solvent and osmotic pressure of the solution. All of these properties help in calculating the observed molar mass of the solute.
Determination of osmotic pressure is considered best for the determination of molecular mass of the solute.
Based on solute-solvent interactions, arrange the following in order of increasing solubility in n-octane.
(A) Cycloheptane
(B) NaCl
(C) \(CH _3 OH\)
(D) \(CH _3 CN\)

The term vitamin was coined from the word vital +amine since the earlier identified compounds had amino groups. Later work showed that most of them didn't contain amino groups. They are very essential for the body. They has to be taken various diet or in the form of medicines also.
Vitamins are classified into two groups depending upon their solubility in water or fat.
Fat soluble vitamins are soluble in fat and oils but insoluble in water. Thhey are stored in liver and adipose (fat storing) tissues Water soluble vitamins are soluble in water. These must be supplied regularly in diet because they are readily excreted in urine and cannot be stored in our body.
Which among the following is not a fat soluble vitamin?CUET 2025 Hard - A current of 15 A in the primary coil of a circuit is reduced to zero at a uniform rate in \( 10^{-6} \, \text{s} \). If the coefficient of the Mutual Inductance is 4 H, what is the Induced emf in secondary coil?CUET 2023 Easy
