d-block dichromate, Amines statement MCQ
Dont you think 5th and 6th mein options are a bit weird? For instance there are only 6Cr-O bonds in dichromate and since all of them are equivalent in length both options b and c should be correct and also 6th wale mein what exactly is the wrong statement?

Just a sec, how are there only 6 Cr-O bonds in dichromate?
Six are equal for sure though

for further context scroll up a little in #πβstudy-chat
I'm pretty sure nitrogen dioxide ain't being released from an organic reaction
ncert is wack, man
Yeah
You are not getting NO2 from an amine
oh wait nitrous acid is just HNO2 lmao
yeah you'll just get alcohol and nitrogen
(C) is wrong for 6th @Himanshu
Yeah, it's the Liebermann nitroso test(?)

oops, transparent picture

Oh acha ha i got confused in NO2 and N2
Hehe my bad
riyal
But 5 is c right?
Ans given is c yes but isn't b supposed to be correct?
Because the Cr-O-Cr linkage is gonna be different length i reckon
Because it's not in resonance like the rest
sorry why is Cr-O-Cr not just two other Cr-O bonds
Cause there are six Cr-O bonds which are equivalent and the two bridging bonds are diff right?

when they say "Cr-O" bonds i count the center bridge as 2 of them
am i not supposed to do that
This is what my teacher made me write if this helps

Oh sorry i meant b
I didn't see the options
Yes I think those are just two Cr-O bonds i guess idk it's confusing
All are not equal
no nevermind those two do get counted
Exactly 6 of them are equal
Yes but the book says option c
hence why the answer is "6" and not "all"
It's wrong.
Proof by Wikipedia
Here is the explanation of book

π
π
It's wrong.
That's what I think might be an error in book
i think technically the center O can participate in resonance, but it just wont
because why would oxygen want a positive charge
Yes
also the Cr=O(+) is different from Cr=O
should i mark this as solved @Himanshu ?
I think yes thank you so much, ig it's just an error in book
complete trolling
Thanks again @Nimboi @Opt
