Electrolysis is the process in which electrical energy is converted to chemical energy. In electrolyte cell, oxidation takes place at anode and reduction at cathode. Electrode process depends on the electrode taken for electrolysis. Amount of substance liberated at an electrode is directly proportionation to the amount of charge passed through it. The mass of substance liberated at electrode is calculate using the following realation : m=(itE)/(96500) Here, E represent the equivalent mass and 96500 C is called the faraday constant. Faraday (96500 C) is the charge of 1 mole electron i.e., 6.023 xx 10^(23) electrons, it is used to liberate on gram equivalent of the substance. The platinum electrodes were immersed in a solution of cupric sulphate (CuSO_4) and electric current is passed through the solution. After sometimes, it was observed that the colour of copper sulphate disappeared with evolution of a gas at the electrode. The colourless solution contains.

(iii) Arrange the metals A, B, C and D in the order of decreasing reactivity.

Numerous forms of the periodic table have been devised from time to time. A modern version which is most convenient and widely used is the long or extended from of periodic table. The aufbau principle and the electronic configuration of atoms provide a theoretical foundation for the periodic classification. The horizontal rows are called periods. There are altogether seven periods. The first period consists of 2 elements. The subsequent periods consists of 8, 8,18, 18 and 32 elements respectively. The seventh period is incomplete and like the sixth period would have maximum of 32 elements. Elements having similar outer electronic configurations in their atoms are grouped in vertical columns. These are referred to as groups or families. According to the recommendations of IUPAC, the groups are numbered 1 to 18 replacing the older notation of groups 0, IA, IIA, ....VIIA, VIII, IB.....VIIB. Each successive period in the periodic table is associated with the filling up next higher principal energy level following aufbau sequence. The number of elements in each period is twice the number of atomic orbitals available in the energy level that is being filled. All the elements are classified into four blocks, i.e., s-block, p-block, d-block, and f-block depending on the type of atomic orbitals that are being filled with electrons. What is the position of the element in the periodic table satisfying the electronic configuration (n-1)d^1 ns^2 for n=4 ?

Covalent molecules formed by heteroatoms bound to have some ionic character. The ionic character is due to shifting of the electron pair towards A or B in the molecule AB. Hence, atoms acquire small and equal charge but opposite in sign. Such a bond which has some ionic character is described as polar covalent bond. Polar covalent molecules can exhibit dipole moment. Dipole moment is equal to the product of charge separation, q and the bond length, d for the bond. The unit of dipole moment is Debye. One Debye is equal to 10^(-18) esu cm. Dipole moment is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction. Hence, dipole moment of molecules depends upon the relative orientation of the bond dipoles, but not on the polarity of bonds alone. A symmetrical structure shows zero dipole moment. Thus, dipole moments help to predict the geometry of the molecules. Dipole moment values can be used to distinguish between cis-and traps-isomers, ortho-, meta-and para-forms of a substance, etc. The percentage of ionic character of a bond can be calculated by the application of the following formula : % " ionic character " = ("Experimental value of dipole moment ")/("Theoretical value of dipole moment ") xx 100 A diatomic molecule has a dipole moment of 1.2 D. If the bond length is 1.0 xx 10^(-8) cm, what fraction of charge does exist on each atom?
