A red solid is insoluble in water. However it becomes soluble if some $\mathrm{KI}$ is added to water. Heating the red solid in a test tube results in liberation of some violet coloured fumes and droplets of a metal appear on the cooler parts of the test tube. The red solid is
A reduction in atomic size with increase in atomic number is a characteristic of element of
According to the Periodic Law of elements, the variation in properties of elements is related to their
Ammonia forms the complex ion $\left[\mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_4\right]^{2+}$ with copper ions in alkaline solutions but not in acidic solutions. What is the reason for it?
Concentrated hydrochloric acid when kept in open air sometimes produces a cloud of white fumes. The explanation for it is that
For making good quality mirrors, plates of float glass are used. These are obtained by floating molten glass over a liquid metal which does not solidify before glass. The metal used can be
Graphite is a soft solid lubricant extremely difficult to melt. The reason for this anomalous behaviour is that graphite
In curing cement plasters water is sprinkled from time to time. This helps in
In the coordination compound, $\mathrm{K}_4\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CN})_4\right]$, the oxidation state of nickel is
One mole of the complex compound $\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_5 \mathrm{Cl}_3$, gives 3 moles of ions on dissolution in water. One mole of the same complex reacts with two moles of $\mathrm{AgNO}_3$ solution to yield two moles of $\mathrm{AgCl}$ (s). The structure of the complex is

The number of d-electrons retained in $\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}$ (At.no.of $\mathrm{Fe}=26$ ) ion is
The pair of species having identical shapes for molecules of both species is
The radionucleide ${ }_{90}^{234} \mathrm{Th}$ undergoes two successive $\beta$-decays followed by one $\alpha$-decay. The atomic number and the mass number respectively of the resulting radionucleide are
The radius of $\mathrm{La}^{3+}$ (Atomic number of $\mathrm{La}=57$ ) is $1.06 Å$. Which one of the following given values will be closest to the radius of $\mathrm{Lu}^{3+}$ (Atomic number of $\mathrm{Lu}=71$ )?
What may be expected to happen when phosphine gas is mixed with chlorine gas?
What would happen when a solution of potassium chromate is treated with an excess of dilute nitric acid?
Which one of the following compounds has the smallest bond angle in its molecule?
