Among the given compounds, compound (d) is aromatic, which greatly enhances its stability due to resonance stabilization. Compound (a) is antiaromatic, making it the least stable among the given options.
Compound(b) and compound (c) have sp3 hybridized carbon atoms bearing the negative charge. Based on angle strain theory, compound (c) is more stable than compound (b) due to its ring structure.
Write the product obtained when D-glucose reacts with \( H_2N - OH \).
If the system of equations \[ x + 2y - 3z = 2, \quad 2x + \lambda y + 5z = 5, \quad 14x + 3y + \mu z = 33 \] has infinitely many solutions, then \( \lambda + \mu \) is equal to:}
The equilibrium constant for decomposition of $ H_2O $ (g) $ H_2O(g) \rightleftharpoons H_2(g) + \frac{1}{2} O_2(g) \quad (\Delta G^\circ = 92.34 \, \text{kJ mol}^{-1}) $ is $ 8.0 \times 10^{-3} $ at 2300 K and total pressure at equilibrium is 1 bar. Under this condition, the degree of dissociation ($ \alpha $) of water is _____ $\times 10^{-2}$ (nearest integer value). [Assume $ \alpha $ is negligible with respect to 1]
