If the measurement errors in all the independent quantities are known, then it is possible to
determine the error in any dependent quantity. This is done by the use of series expansion and
truncating the expansion at the first power of the error. For example, consider the relation
z x / y . If the errors in x,yand z are x, y and z , respectively, then

z z 1 1

The series expansion for 1
y , to first power in y / y , is 1 y / y . The relative

errors in independent variables are always added. So the error in z will be z

The above derivation makes the assumption that x / x 1, y / y 1 . Therefore, the higher
power of these quantities are neglected.

Sol. A) [Fe(CO)5] & [Ni(CO)4] complexes have 18-electrons in their valence shell.
B) Carbonyl complexes are predominantly low spin complexes due to strong ligand field.
C) As electron density increases on metals (with lowering oxidation state on metals), the extent
of synergic bonding increases. Hence M–C bond strength increases
D) While positive charge on metals increases and the extent of synergic bond decreases and
hence C–O bond becomes stronger.
3. Based on the compounds of group 15 elements, the correct statement(s) is (are)
A) Bi2O5 is more basic than N 2O5
B) NF3 is more covalent than BiF3
C) PH 3 boils at lower temperature than NH 3
D) The N-N single bond is stronger than the P-P single bond
Key. ABC

A) Bi2O5 is metallic oxide but N2O5 is non metallic oxide therefore Bi2O5 is basic but N2O5 is
acidic.
B) In NF3 , N and F are non metals but BiF3 , Bi is metal but F is non metal therefore NF3 is
more covalent than BiF3.
C) In PH3 hydrogen bonding is absent but in NH3 hydrogen bonding is present therefore PH3
boils at lower temperature than NH3.
D)Due to small size in N–N single bond l.p. – l.p. repulsion is more than P–P single bond
therefore N–N single bond is weaker than the P–P single bond.
