(A) For given material, θ → constant

It means h decreases

(A) At origin, due to two wires if I1 = I2, hence at origin is equal to due to ring,
which is non-zero.
(B) If I1 > 0 and I2 < 0, at origin due to wires will be along + direction and due to ring is
along – direction and hence can be zero at origin.
(C) If I1 < 0 and I2 > 0, at origin due to wires is along – and also along – due to ring,
hence cannot be zero.

(D)
At centre of ring, due to wires is along x-axis, hence z-component is only because of ring

20) (A) [Fe(CO5)] & [Ni(CO)4] complexes have 18-electrons in their valence shell.
(B) Carbonyl complexes are predominantly low spin complexes due to strong ligand field.
(C) As electron density increases on metals (with lowering oxidation state on metals), the
extent of synergic bonding increases. Hence M–C bond strength increases
(D) While positive charge on metals increases and the extent of synergic bond decreases and
hence C–O bond becomes stronger.

21) (A) Bi2O5 is metallic oxide but N2O5 is non metallic oxide therefore Bi2O5 is basic but N2O5 is
acidic.
(B) In NF3, N and F are non metals but BiF3 , Bi is metal but F is non metal therefore NF3 is
more covalent than BiF3.
(C) In PH3 hydrogen bonding is absent but in NH3 hydrogen bonding is present therefore PH3
boils at lower temperature than NH3.
(D) Due to small size in N–N single bond l.p. – l.p. repulsion is more than P–P single bond
therefore N–N single bond is weaker than the P–P single bond.
