Why does CO form a coordinate bond?


In carbon monoxide molecule carbon and oxygen form a double bond by sharing of two bond pairs , in which 
carbon as well oxygen contributes 2 electrons to each other to form a double bond . 
Now octet of oxygen is completed but carbon is left with two (2) valence electrons and it has a total of six electrons so it's octet is incompleted.

Hence carbon is relatively unstable than oxygen atom because oxygen has nearest noble gas configuration of 8 electrons in their valence shell.

So in order to attain stability oxygen contributes one of its lone pair of electrons to the carbon atom in the formation of a coordinate bond . This leads to completion of octet of both carbon and oxygen .
Important note: 
In coordinate bond a pair of electrons is shared between two atoms but it is contributed by a single atom( Here contributor of lone pair is oxygen atom).

What is "Anoxia" conditions ?

At high altitudes the partial pressure of oxygen is less than that at the ground level. This leads to low concentrations of oxygen in the blood and tissues of people living at high altitudes or climbers. Low blood oxygen causes climbers to become weak and unable to think clearly, symptoms of a condition known as anoxia.

What is bends condition and what is relation of bends with Scuba divers ?

Scuba divers must cope with high concentrations of dissolved gases while breathing air at high pressure underwater. Increased pressure increases the solubility of atmospheric gases in blood. When the divers come towards surface, the pressure gradually decreases. This releases the dissolved gases and leads to the formation of bubbles of nitrogen in the blood. This blocks capillaries and creates a medical condition known as bends, which are painful and dangerous to life.
 To avoid bends, as well as, the toxic effects of high concentrations of nitrogen in the blood, the tanks used by scuba divers are filled with air diluted with helium (11.7% helium, 56.2% nitrogen and 32.1% oxygen).

Why density of water is greater than ice ?

Ice and water both contains H2O molecules but in water H2O molecules are more compactly arrange than in ice.

Ice has a hexagonal cage like structure, inside it H2O molecules are not closely packed.hence there is more vacant space between the molecules of ice. As a result the volume increases due to the vacant spaces.  As a result density of ice decrease.

Other hand,On increasing temperature then kinetic energy of molecules increases as result the interaction between the molecules decrease and as a result the the molecules come closer to each other and the volume decreases, so the density increases.

The density of water is maximum at 3.98 approximately 4 degree celsius.

What is synergic bonding ?

Carbon monoxide, CO, as a ligand binds itself to metal atoms through the carbon atom. It is a weak donor (a weak base). It forms a weak sigma-bond to the central atom. CO is also an acceptor ligand and from a π-bond to the metal. This characteristic property of back bonding stabilised the metal-ligand interaction. 
For a better understanding of the nature of bonding in metal carbonyls, we have to consider first the molecular orbital energy level diagram of carbon monoxide given in the figure. 3-sigma, the highest occupied molecular orbital in CO is essentially a lobe projecting away from the carbon atom. When CO acts as a ligand. This orbital serves as a weak donor to the metal atom, and forms a bond as represented in Figure. The lowest unoccupied molecular orbltals of CO are the π* (2π) orbitals. These play an important part in bonding as they can overlap metal d orbltals having π symmetry. The resultant Interaction leads to the delocalisation of electrons from, filled d orbltals on the metal into the empty orbitals on the CO ligands.This in fact, is back bonding from metal to CO. The metal to ligand bonding creates a synergic effect which strengthens the bond between CO and the metal (Figure).
The MO energy level diagram for CO The filled 3-sigma and the vacant 2π-oribttols are important for bonding in the formation of metal carbonyls.

Why are all P-Cl bond lengths equal in PCl3 but different in PCl5?

Phosphorus atom of PCl3, is sp3 hybridised. so orbital involved in hybridization are s and p only and PCl3 has a trigonal pyramid structure.

What is "EMULSIONS"

Emulsions are colloids in which both dispersed phase and dispersion medium are liquids. 
Emulsion can be broadly classified into two types.
(i) Oil in water emulsions: In this type of emulsions, oil acts as (organic solvent) dispersed phase and water acts as dispersion medium. Some examples of this type of emulsions are milk, vanishing cream, etc. In milk, liquid fat is dispersed in water.
(ii) Water in oil emulsions: In this type of emulsions, water acts as dispersed phase and oil (organic solvent) acts as dispersion medium. Cold cream, butter etc, are examples of oil emulsions.
Identification of Emulsion 
The following tests may be employed to distinguish between the two types of emulsions:
(i) Dye test: Some oil soluble dye is added to the emulsion. If the background becomes coloured, the emulsion is water – in – oil type and if the coloured droplets are seen, the emulsion is oil – in – water type.
(ii) Dilution test: If the emulsion can be diluted with water, this indicates that water is the dispersion medium and the emulsion is of oil – in – water type. In case the added water forms a separate layer, the emulsion is water – in – oil type.
Preparation of Emulsion:
The process of making an emulsion is known as emulsification. Emulsion may be obtained by vigorously mixing both the liquids. The dispersed drops at once come together and form separate layers. To stabilize an emulsion, the addition of a small quantity of a third substance known as emulsifying agent or emulsifier is essential. Soaps and detergents are most frequently used as 
emulsifiers.
The other common stabilizing agents are proteins, gum and agar-agar.

What is application of colloids ?


Colloids including emulsions find a number of uses in our daily life and industry. Some of the uses are given below:
(i) Rubber plating: Latex is a colloidal solution of negatively charged rubber particles. Rubber plated articles are prepared by depositing negative charged particles over the article to be rubber plated by making that article an anode in a rubber plating bath.
(ii) Medicines: Medicines in colloidal form are easily absorbed by the body tissues and hence are more effective.
(iii) Sewage disposal: Colloidal particles of dirt, mud etc. carry electric charge. Hence when sewage water is passed through the plates kept at a high potential, the colloidal particles are 
coagulated due to electrophoresis and the suspended matter gets removed.
(iv) Purification of water: The precipitation of colloidal impurities present in water can be done by adding certain electrolytes like alum etc. The negatively charged colloidal particles of 
impurities get neutralized by the Al3+ ions and settle down and pure water can be decanted off.
(v) Formation of delta: River water contains charged colloidal particles of clay, sand and many other materials. Sea water is a very big store – house of a variety of electrolytes dissolved in it. As soon as river water comes in contact with sea water, the electrolytes present in sea water coagulate the suspended colloidal particles which ultimately settle down at the point of contact and thus the level of the river bed rises. As a result, water adopts a different course and delta is formed in due course of time.
(vi) Smoke screen: In warfare, smoke screens are used which are colloidal dispersion of certain 
substance in the air.

What is "peptization" ?


Peptization may be defined as the process of converting a precipitate into colloidal sol by shaking it with dispersion medium in the presence of a small amount of electrolyte. The electrolyte used for this purpose is called peptizing agent. This method is applied, generally, to convert a freshly prepared precipitate into a colloidal sol. 
For example, when freshly precipitated Fe(OH)3 is shaken with aqueous solution of FeCl3(peptizing agent) it adsorbs Fe+3 ions and thereby breaks up into small – sized particles.

Why medicines are more effective in colloidal state?

A colloidal state has larger surface area of sol particles and this shows more effective adsorption. Thus medicines in colloidal state are more effectively absorbed and give better results.

What is Associated Colloids (Micelles) ?

There are some substances which at low concentrations behaves as normal, strong electrolytes but at higher concentrations exhibit colloidal  behaviour due to the formation of aggregated particles. The aggregated particles thus formed are called micelles. These are also known as associated colloids. 
The formation of micelles take place only above a particular temperature called kraft temperature (Tk) and above a particular concentration called critical micelle concentration (CMC). On dilution, these colloids revert back to individual ions. Surface active agents such as soaps and synthetic detergents belong to this class. For soaps, the CMC is -10-4
to 10-3 molperL. 
These colloids have both lyophobic and lyophilic parts. Micelles may contains as many as 100 molecules or more.


Acetyl chloride on reduction with H2 in presence of Pd as catalyst gives ethanol, whereas in presence of Pd-BaSO4, it gives ethanal.

Solutions are homogenous systems e.g. sugar solution. If sand is stirred in water, it slowly settles down and is called a suspension. Between the extremes of suspensions and solutions a large group of systems called colloidal dispersion or simply colloids exist.
A colloidal is a heterogeneous system in which one substance is dispersed (dispersed phase) as very fine particles in another substance called dispersion medium. The essential difference between a solution and a colloidal is one of particle size. In a solution, the particles or ions are small molecules. In a colloid, the dispersed phase may consist a particles of a simple macromolecule (such as protein or synthetic polymer) or an aggregate of many atoms, ions or molecules. Colloidal particles are larger than simple molecules but small enough to remain suspended. They have a range of a diameter between 1 and 1000 nm.

Comment on the statement that “colloid is not a substance but a state of substance”.


Any substance (solid, liquid or gas) using special method can be brought into colloidal state. For example, NaCl in water forms true solution but in benzene forms colloidal solutions in alcohol but colloidal in water.

What is the relation between Total energy (TE), Kinetic energy (KE) and Potential energy (PE) of Bohr's orbits?

Relation between Total energy (TE), Kinetic energy (KE) and Potential energy (PE):


Important conclusions:
(1) The minus sign for the energy of an electron in an orbit represents attraction between the +vely charged nucleus and negatively charged electron.
(2) Energy of an electron at infinite distance from the nucleus is zero.
(3) As an electron approaches the nucleus, the electrical attraction increases, energy of electron decreases and it becomes negative.
(4) Energy of an electron increases as the value of ‘n’increases i.e.
(5) Value of ‘n’ remaining unchanged, the amount of energy associated with an electron remains unaltered.
(6) Energy of electron in firstsecondthird and fourthorbit are –13.6, –3.4, –1.5, and –0.85 eV/atomrespectively.
(7) Although the energy of electron increases with increase in the value of ‘n’ (orbit), yet the difference of energy between successive orbits decreases. Thus E2 – E1 > E3 – E2 > E4 – E3 > E5 – E4 >, etc…
