Which of the following bonds is regarded as the extension of double bonds and triple bonds?

  1. Sigma bonds

  2. Pi bonds

  3. Delta bonds

  4. Quadruple bond


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A quadruple bond is a type of chemical bond between two atoms involving eight electrons. This bond is an extension of the more familiar type double bonds and triple bonds. Stable quadruple bonds are most common among the middle members transition metal elements such rhenium, tungsten, molybdenum and chromium.

  1. double

  2. triple

  3. quintuple

  4. sextuple

Explanation:

A quintuple bond in chemistry is an unusual type of chemical bond first reported in 2005 for a dichromium compound. Quadruple bonds are rarer but occur especially for Cr, Mo, W, and Re. In a quintuple bond, ten electrons participate in bonding between the two metal centers.

The process of dehydration is associated with ---------------------- formation.

  1. glycosidic bond

  2. peptide bond

  3. agostic bond

  4. bent bond


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A peptide bond (amide bond) is a covalent chemical bond formed between two molecules when the carboxyl group of one molecule reacts with the amino group of the other molecule, causing the release of a molecule of water. Hence the process is a dehydration synthesis reaction (also known as a condensation reaction), and usually occurs between amino acids.

A bond formed between Lewis base and Lewis acid is

  1. a dipolar bond

  2. π backbonding

  3. cation-π interaction

  4. salt bridge


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A dipolar bond, also known as dative covalent bond or coordinate bond is a kind of 2-centre, 2-electron covalent bond in which the two electrons derive from the same atom. Typically, a dipolar bond is formed when a Lewis base donates a pair of electrons to a Lewis acid.

The interaction of the electrons in a sigma bond with an adjacent empty antibonding π orbital is termes as

  1. resonance

  2. hyperconjugation

  3. negative hyperconjugation

  4. cross-conjugation


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Hyperconjugation is the interaction of the electrons in a sigma bond (usually C-H or C-C) with an adjacent empty (or partially filled) non-bonding p-orbital or antibonding π orbital or filled π orbital, to give an extended molecular orbital that increases the stability of the system. Only electrons in bonds that are β to the positively charged carbon can stabilize a carbocation by hyperconjugation.

The apparent force that acts on all masses in a non-inertial frame of reference is

Explanation:

A fictitious force, also called a pseudo force is an apparent force that acts on all masses in a non-inertial frame of reference, such as a rotating reference frame. The force F does not arise from any physical interaction but rather from the acceleration a of the non-inertial reference frame itself.

Explanation:

A symmetric hydrogen bond is a special type of hydrogen bond in which the proton is spaced exactly halfway between two identical atoms. The strength of the bond to each of those atoms is equal. It is an example of a 3-center 4-electron bond.

The branch of chemistry dealing with detection of antigens in the cells of a tissue is

  1. neurochemistry

Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Dilution is a reduction in the concentration of a chemical (gas, vapor and solution). It is the process of reducing the concentration of a solute in solution, usually simply by mixing with more solvent. To dilute a solution means to add more solvent without the addition of more solute.

Particle aggregation in materials science is direct mutual attraction between particles (atoms or molecules) via van der Waals forces or chemical bonding. When there are collisions between particles in fluid, there are chances that particles will attach to each other and become larger particle. There are 3 major physical mechanisms to form aggregate: Brownian motion, fluid shear and differential settling.
