O? = σ1s² σ1s² σ2s² σ2s² σ2pz² π2px² = π2py² π2px¹ = π2py¹
O? = σ1s² σ1s² σ2s² σ2s² σ2pz² π2px² = π2py² π2px¹
O? = σ1s² σ1s² σ2s² σ2s² σ2pz² π2px² = π2py² π2px² = π2py¹
O? ²? = σ1s² σ1s² σ2s² σ2s² σ2pz² π2px² = π2py² π2px² = π*2py²
B.O = (Bonding e? - Antibonding e? )/2
B.O of O? = (10 - 6)/2 = 2
B.O of O? = (10 - 5)/2 = 2.5
B.O of O? = (10 - 7)/2 = 1.5
B.O of O? ²? = (10 - 8)/2 = 1

Li? CO? decomposes easily on heating as;
Li? CO? - (Δ)-> Li? O + CO? ↑
NaHCO? is used in dry fire extinguishers.

Chelation increases stability of complex. Also more the chelation more the stability. Here, [Co (en)? (NH? )? ]Cl? , [Co (en)? ]Cl? and [Co (en) (NH? )? ]Cl? have chelation due to ethylenediamine. Therefore [Co (en)? ]Cl? has the highest chelation so the highest stability.

Using, µ = √n (n+2) B.M, n = number of unpaired electrons.
? Ti? ³ = 4s? 3d¹, unpaired electron = 1
µ = 1.73 B.M
? V? ² = 4s? 3d³, unpaired electron = 3
µ = 3.87 B.M
? Sc? ³ = 4s? 3d? , unpaired electron = 0
µ = 0 B.M

Anions have larger radii than atoms. Also, higher the e/p ratio higher the ionic radii. So, N? ³ > O? ² > F?

CFC breakdown by visible light to give Cl radical which react with stratospheric ozone.
CFC, CF? Cl? - (hv)-> Cl• + •CF? Cl
Cl• (g) + O? → ClO• + O?
ClO• + O → Cl• + O?
Atmospheric ozone reacts with NO to give NO? and O?
O? + NO → NO? + O?

Bohr's model solved the instability problem by proving about stationary states. In such stats, the electrons move in fixed orbits. They do not emit energy. This contradicted classical electromagnetic theory of Maxwell, which says accelerating charges should emit radiation and collapse into the nucleus. Bohr simply assumed Maxwell's laws don't apply to these special orbits.

Bohr's model is too simple for atoms beyond hydrogen. In multi-electron atoms like helium, it fails because it ignores a couple of aspects. First is the electron-to-electron repulsion, and second is the shielding effect, where inner electrons reduce the nuclear pull on outer ones. Due to both, orbitals with the same principal quantum number don't have the same energy. Bohr's model of atom assumes that it should have the same energy.
