Explanation

o-Nitrophenol is more acidic due to the strong electron-withdrawing effect of the nitro group and possible intramolecular hydrogen bonding, which stabilizes the conjugate base.

Though both have -NO₂, the ortho position enhances acidity more than the para position.

Explanation

1,2-Butadiene contains cumulene structure with adjacent double bonds (C=C=C), leading to sp-hybridization at the central carbon.

The terminal carbon atoms are sp²-hybridized, while the central carbon is sp-hybridized.

Explanation

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless gas produced by incomplete combustion in gas heaters.

It is highly toxic.

It can cause death when inhaled in large amounts.

Explanation

Explanation

Ozonolysis splits the double bond and gives:

• CH₃CH₂COCH₃ (Butan-2-one)
• CH₃CHO (Acetaldehyde)

These products match the cleavage of 3-methyl-2-pentene at the double bond.

Explanation

Fe = 56, N = 14 × 2 = 28, O = 16 × 6 = 96 → Total = 56 + 28 + 96 = 180 amu

This is the correct formula mass for Iron (II) Nitrate, Fe(NO₃)₂.

Explanation

• The freezing point of water is 0°C (zero degrees Centigrade). 
• The boiling point of water on the Centigrade scale (also known as the Celsius scale) 100°C (one hundred degrees Centigrade).

Explanation

Gold can be beaten into extremely thin sheets (just a few atoms thick), ideal for alpha particle passage.

This thinness allowed alpha particles to pass through with minimal obstruction, helping observe atomic structure.

Explanation

Complete combustion of hydrocarbons (like methane, propane, etc.) in the presence of oxygen produces:

• Carbon dioxide (CO₂)
• Water (H₂O)

Therefore, the combustion products of hydrocarbons are carbon dioxide and water.

Explanation

Elements like Cr (24), Cu (29), and Mo (42) show irregular configurations due to extra stability of half-filled or fully filled d-orbitals.

Examples:

• Cr: [Ar] 3d⁵ 4s¹
• Cu: [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s¹
• Mo: [Kr] 4d⁵ 5s¹
