Symmetrically subsituted epoxides give the same products in both the acid catalysed and base catalyzed ring opening. An unsymmetrical epoxide gives different products under acid catalysed and base catalysed conditions. Under basic contions, the alkoxide ion simply attacks the less hindered carbon atom in an SN^(2) displacement. Under acidic conditions, the alcohol, attacks the protonated epoxide. Structure II and III show that the oxtrane carbon share part of positive charge. The tertiary carbon bear a larger part of positive charge and it is more strongly electrophilic. The bond between teritiary carbon and oxygen is weaker implying a lower transition state energy for attack at the teritary carbon. Attack by the weak nucleophilic is sensitive to the strength of electrophilic is sensitive to the strength of electrophile. Center attack takes place at more electrophilic carbon which is usually the more substituted carbon because it can better support the positive charge.

Consider the following statements : (P) The hybridisation found in cation of solid PCl_(5) is sp^(3) . (Q) In AB_(2)L_(2) type the BAB bond angle is always greater than the normal tetrahedral bond angle. (R) In ClO_(3)^(-),NH_(3) and XeO_(3) , the hybridisation and the number of lone pairs on the central atoms are same. (S) In P_(4) molecule, there are six P-P bonds and four lone pairs of electrons. Of these statements :

Cane sugar is gradualaly converted into dextrose and laevuloe by dilute acid. The rate of inversion is observed by measuring the polarisation angle, at various times, when the following results are obtained: {:("Time (min)",0,10,20,30,40,100,oo),("Angle",32.4,28.8,25.5,22.4,19.6,-6.1,-14.1):} Show that the reaction is of first order. Calculate the value of t, when the solution is optically inactive.

The shape of water molecule, which should be tetrahedral has a bent or distorted tetrahedral shape with a bond angle 104.5^@ . What could be the reason for this ?
