Answer:
A. One unpaired electron
B. 5 unpaired electrons
Explanation:
In A ,Fe is in +3 oxidation state and Electronic configuration- [Ar]3d5
And NO2 is a strong field ligand hence it causes pairing in t2g orbitals and results one unpaired electron in dZX orbital.
In B, also Fe is in +3 oxidation state but F is weak field ligand hence causes no pairing of Electrons hence it results 5 unpaired electrons with electronic configuration t2g^3 eg^2
Answer:
c. benzoic acid
Explanation:
The given reaction is an example of a Grignard reaction:
When chlorobenzene (C₆H₅Cl) reacts with Mg in ether, an intermediate is formed (C₆H₅MgCl).
Said intermediate then reacts with CO₂ producing a benzoic acid salt (C₆H₅CO₂X), this salt is then neutralized with dilute HCl producing benzoic acid (C₆H₅CO₂H).
The answer is (3), oxidation occurs at the anode and reduction occurs at the cathode. That's because the oxidation reaction can lose electrons and reduction can gain electrons.
