Questions Asked in JEE Advanced exam
The center of a disk of radius $ r $ and mass $ m $ is attached to a spring of spring constant $ k $, inside a ring of radius $ R>r $ as shown in the figure. The other end of the spring is attached on the periphery of the ring. Both the ring and the disk are in the same vertical plane. The disk can only roll along the inside periphery of the ring, without slipping. The spring can only be stretched or compressed along the periphery of the ring, following Hooke’s law. In equilibrium, the disk is at the bottom of the ring. Assuming small displacement of the disc, the time period of oscillation of center of mass of the disk is written as $ T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} $. The correct expression for $ \omega $ is ( $ g $ is the acceleration due to gravity):

Bonding in Metal Carbonyls
The metal-carbon bond possesses both the σ and π character in a metal carbonyl. The synergic effect produced by the metal-ligand bond strengthens the bond between the carbonyl molecule and the metal. The types of bonding that exist in metal carbonyls are as follows:
Structure of Metal Carbonyls:
- Due to the donation of electrons by the carbonyl molecules to the vacant orbitals of the metal, a metal-carbon σ bond is formed.
- Due to the donation of a pair of electrons from a filled d orbital metal into the vacant anti bonding π orbital of carbonyl ligand, a metal-carbon π bond is formed.
Stability of Coordination Compounds:
They are found to dissociate in various solutions. The stability of a coordination compound in a solution mainly depends on the degree of association between the two species involved in the state of equilibrium. For the formation of the compound quantitatively the stability of any complex is given by the magnitude of the equilibrium constant. For instance,
