Which of the following orbitals are degenerate for $[Cr(H _2O) _6]^{3+}$?

  1. $d _{x^2-y^2},d _{xy}$

  2. $d _{xy},d _{yz}$

  3. $d _{x^2-y^2},d _{yz}$

  4. $d _{z^2},dxy$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Solution:- (B) ${d} _{xy}, {d} _{yz}$

$[Cr(H _2O) _6]^{3+} $ has $d^2sp^3$ hybridization .$dxy,dyz,dzx$,orbitals are degenerate.

Ammonium dichromate is used in fire works. The green colored powder blow in the air is:

  1. $Cr{O} _{3}$

  2. ${Cr} _{2}{O} _{3}$

  3. $Cr$

  4. $CrO ({O} _{2})$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
$(\mathrm{NH} _4) _2\mathrm{Cr} _2\mathrm{O} _7\xrightarrow{\Delta} \mathrm{Cr} _2\mathrm{O} _3+\mathrm{N} _2+4\mathrm{H} _2\mathrm{O}$

The green-coloured $ Cr _2O _3$ powder is blown in the air by the large volume of $ N _2$ and water vapour produced and settles like dust from the volcano. 

Hence, the correct option is $\text{B}$

Which one of the following forms a colorless solution in aqueous medium?

  1. ${Cr}^{3+}$

  2. ${Ti}^{3+}$

  3. ${Sc}^{3+}$

  4. ${V}^{3+}$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$Cr^{3+}$ = $3d^3$ = coloured

$Ti^{3+}$ =  $3d^1$ = coloured

$V^{3+}$ =  $3d^2$ = coloured

$Sc^{3+}$ has electron configuration of [Ar] $4s^0  3d^0$. Therefore without any unpaired electrons it forms a colorless solution in aqueous medium. 

Acrylic is used for making carpets and blankets.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Acrylic fibers are synthetic fibers made from a polymer (polyacrylonitrile) with an average molecular weight of $\sim100,000$, about $1900$ monomer units. Strong and warm, acrylic fiber is often used for sweaters and tracksuits and as linings for boots and gloves, as well as in furnishing fabrics and carpets. It is manufactured as a filament, then cut into short staple lengths similar to wool hairs, and spun into yarn.
option A is correct
