    Chemistry: Post your doubts here!

    The degenerate d-orbitals split because of the existent repulsion between the electrons. This helps to form transition-metal-complexes. While forming a complex with a ligand the d-orbitals interact with the surrounding electron cloud, causing it to become non-degenerate (variable energies). This...

    It's the transition metal ION which needs to have a partially filled d-orbital, not the element in its ground state. Remembering the following definition will help: "A transition element is an element that forms at least one stable ion with a partially filled d-orbital." [Cu forms Cu+(aq) and...

    There is only 1 G that you can possibly alternate. The 2 Gs are fixed/'attached', so that they're always together. The typical logic of dividing by 3! for the recurring 3Gs doesn't really serve well for this question. Albeit, there are various methods of doing it, I simply outlined mine...

    Simply 'choose' 2 Gs out of 3, and the remaining 7 letters can be completely random! G G _ _ _ _ _ _ _...............[consider GG to be 'attached' together so that it can alternate in 2! ways] n = 2! x 3c2 x 7!.................. [but don't forget that there are 3 recurring Es too!]...

    Variance (V) = n.p.q...... (Remember transforming X ~ B (n,p) to X ~ N (np, npq) where np = μ and npq = σ^2 or Variance?) You have, n =30 , p =0.6, q = 1 - 0.6 = 0.4 V = 30 x 0.6 x 0.4 = 7.2......... :)

    That's because z switches back to negative since you do not have ϕ(z) = 0.1480 in the table. That's why you need to solve for ϕ(-z) = 1 - 0.1480 = 0.8520.
