Paragraph:
The noble gases have closed-shell electronic configuration and are monoatomic gases under normal conditions. The low boiling points of the lighter noble gases are due to weak dispersion forces between the atoms and the absence of other interatomic interactions.
The direct reaction of xenon with fluorine leads to a series of compounds with oxidation numbers \(+2,+4\) and \(+6 . \mathrm{XeF}_4\) reacts violently with water to give \(\mathrm{XeO}_3\). The compounds of xenon exhibit rich stereochemistry and their geometries can be deduced considering the total number of electron pairs in the valence shell.

Paragraph:

Thermal decomposition of gaseous \(\mathrm{X}_{2}\) to gaseous \(\mathrm{X}\) at \(298 \mathrm{~K}\) takes place according to the following equation:

\(\mathrm{X}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{X}(\mathrm{g})\)

The standard reaction Gibbs energy, \(\Delta_{r} G^{\circ}\), of this reaction is positive. At the start of the reaction, there is one mole of \(\mathrm{X}_{2}\) and no \(\mathrm{X}\). As the reaction proceeds, the number of moles of \(\mathrm{X}\) formed is given by \(\beta\). Thus, \(\beta_{\text {equilibrium }}\) is the number of moles of \(\mathrm{X}\) formed at equilibrium. The reaction is carried out at a constant total pressure of \(2\) bar. Consider the gases to behave ideally. (Given : \(R=0.083 \mathrm{~L}\) bar \(\mathrm{K}^{-1} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\) )

Question:

Paragraph :
A special metal \(S\) conducts electricity without any resistance. A closed wire loop, made of \(S\), does not allow any change in flux through itself by inducing a suitable current to generate a compensating flux. The induced current in the loop cannot decay due to its zero resistance. This current gives rise to a magnetic moment which in turn repels the source of magnetic field or flux. Consider such a loop, of radius \(a\), with its center at the origin. A magnetic dipole of moment \(m\) is brought along the axis of this loop from infinity to a point at distance \(r(\gg a)\) from the center of the loop with its north pole always facing the loop, as shown in the figure below.

The magnitude of magnetic field of a dipole \(m\), at a point on its axis at distance \(r\), is \(\frac{\mu_{0}}{2 \pi} \frac{m}{r^{3}}\), where \(\mu_{0}\) is the permeability of free space. The magnitude of the force between two magnetic dipoles with moments, \(m_{1}\) and \(m_{2}\), separated by a distance \(r\) on the common axis, with their north poles facing each other, is \(\frac{k m_{1} m_{2}}{r^{4}}\), where \(k\) is a constant of appropriate dimensions. The direction of this force is along the line joining the two dipoles.

Question :
