Werner's coordination theory

  The important postulates of Werner's theory of coordination compound are: 1. Metals possess two different sports of valency:  primary or ionizable valency and secondary or non-ionizable valency. 2. The central metal atom has a fixed number of secondary valencies (that is the coordination number), e.g., Co (lll) or Pt-(lV) have six secondary valencies while Cu (ll) or Pd (ll) have four secondary valencies. 3 . Primary valencies are satisfied by only -ve ions while secondary valencies may be satisfied by -ve ions or neutral molecules. 4 . Having established the number of secondary valencies, Werner attempted to find the shape of the complex. For example, six secondary valencies, are directed towards the corners of a regular octahedron, four secondary valencies are directed towards the four corners of a square-planar or tetrahedral.

Disaccharides

 Disaccharides are those carbohydrates which upon hydrolysis produce two molecules of monosaccharides, e.g., sucrose, maltose, etc. 

Non reducing sugars

 Non reducing sugars are those carbohydrates which cannot reduce Tollen's reagent or Fehling solution, e.g., sucrose. 

Reducing sugars

 Reducing sugars are those carbohydrates which can reduce Tollen's reagent or Feeling solution e.g., glucose, maltose, etc

Polysaccharides

 Polysaccharides are those carbohydrates which can be hydrolysed to yield a large number of molecules of monosaccharides e.g., cellulose, starch, etc. 

Oligosaccharides

 Oligosaccharides are those carbohydrates which can be hydrolysed to yield 2-9 molecules of monosaccharides, e.g., sucrose, matlose, raffinose, etc. 

Monosaccharides

Monosaccharides are those carbohydrates which  cannot be  hydrolysed  to  smaller molecules.For example, glucose,  fructose, etc. 

Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are polyhydroxyaldehydes or the substances that will give rise to such compounds on hydrolysis. 

Use of alchols, phenols and ether

 Alcohols in general are used as solvents and as a fuel. However, ethyl alcohol is mainly used as an important beverage. Ethers are used as solvents, anaesthetic and as a refrigerant. Phenol is used as an antiseptic, in manufacture of drugs, plastics etc. 

Chemical properties of ethers

These are less  reactive but C-O bond  is under drastic conditions with hydrogen halides. 

Physical properties of ethers

The boiling point of ethers are comparable To those of Alkanes of comparable molecular masses but are much lower than those of alcohol because of week polarity of ethers. The solubility of ethers with water resembles those of alcohols of the same molecular mass. This is because like alcohols, oxygen of ether can also form H-bonds with water molecules. 

Define chelate

 Chelate is defined as a ring structure formed by the combination of a ligand having two or more donor sites with a metal ion. The ligand having two or more Donor groups is called a chelating ligand and the method of formation of chelates is called chelation. 

Define ligand

 Ligand is the ion or natural molecule which is bound to the the central metal  atom or ion in the coordination entity. When it is bound to the metal ion through single donor atom then it is called unidentate ligand.

f-block elements

 The elements in which the additional electron fills the inner f-orbitals are called f-block elements. 

Transition elements

 The atoms of of which have two outermost orbits incomplete are known as transition elements. They also possess partially filled d-orbitals. 

Emulsions

Emulsions  are  colloids  in  which  both  the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium are liquids. 

Molecularity

 Molecularity of a chemical reaction means the number of reacting particles which Must collide simultaneously to bring about the chemical change

Chemical kinetics

Chemical Kinetic is that branch of chemistry which deals  with the  rates  of chemical reactions and their mechanism

Colligative properties

 Colligative properties of ideal solution are those properties which depend upon the number of moles of the solute and not at all upon their nature or composition. 

Normality

 Normality (abbreviated N) is the number of equivalents of solute per litre of solution.

Molarity

 Molarity (abbreviated M) of a solution is the number of moles of the solute present in one litre of the solution

Molality

 Molality of a solution is the number of moles of the solute present in 1000 grams of the solvent. 

Metallic solids

 Metallic solids such as silver or iron are like covelent network solids, but they consists of metal atoms. 

Molecular solids

 Molecular solids are those like sucrose or ice, whose constituent particles are molecules held together by the intermolecular forces. 

Amorphous solids

 Amorphous solids, by contrast, are those whose constituent particles are randomly arranged and have no ordered long-range structure, e.g., glass, rubber, etc. 

Crystalline solids

 Crystalline solids are those whose atoms, ions, or molecules have an ordered arrangement extanding over a long-range, e.g., sodium chloride, diomond, etc.
