The realtive stabilities of metal carbonyls and their ions can be explained on the basis of a rule which is known as 18e^(-) rule. If number of valence shell electrons of the metal + number of electrons donated by bonded CO groups comes to be 18 electrons, then carbonyl is said to be stable. Which of the following complexes are following 18e^(-) rule?

An atom of an element A has three electron in its outer shell and B has six electron in outermost shell. The formula of the compound formed between these two will be

The element having 18 electrons in its outer most shell is:

According to molecular orbital theory molecules are said to be stable if the number of electrons in bonding molecular orbitals is …………… the number of electrons in antibonding molecular orbitals.

twice as many electrons in its second shell as in its first shell?

Consider a coaxial cable which consists of an inner wire of radius a surrounded by an outer shell of inner and outer radii b and c respectively. The inner wire carries an electric current (i_0) and the outer shell carries an equal current in opposite direction. Find the magnetic field at a distance x from the axis where (a) xlta, (b) altxltb, (c) bltxltc and (d)xgtc. Assume that the current density is uniform in the inner wire and also uniform in the outer shell.
