Which bond angle $\theta $ gives maximum dipole moments for triatomic molecule $XY _{ 2 }$ :-

  1. $\theta \quad =\quad 90^{ \circ }$
  2. $\theta \quad =\quad 120^{ \circ }$
  3. $\theta \quad =\quad 180^{ \circ }$

  4. Both 2 and 3
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

For a triatomic molecule XY2, the dipole moment is the vector sum of individual bond dipoles. When the bond angle theta is 90 degrees, the vector sum of the two bond dipoles is maximized because the angle creates a sharper resultant vector compared to a linear 180-degree arrangement where the dipoles cancel out completely.

The hormone used as an oral contraceptive is:

  1. Aldosterone

  2. Cortisone

  3. Progesterone

  4. Testosterone
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The hormone used as an oral contraceptive is progesterone. It is a female sex hormone and used to prevent pregnancy (progestin). 

It works by preventing the release of eggs from the ovaries (ovulation) and changing the cervical mucus and the lining of the uterus.

Hence, the option $C$ is correct.
