Question 1. Explain how an OH group attached to a carbon in the benzene ring activates
benzene towards electrophilic substitution?

Answer:
The lone pair of electron present on Oxygen atom of the OH group shifts towards benzene
ring as a result the electron density on benzene ring increases at "Ortho & Para" positions.
This is due to resonance. Due to enhanced electron density at ortho and para postion, the
electrophilic substitution takes place on benzene ring at "o & p" positions.Since the OH
group provides electrons to benzene ring, it is said to be an activating group which activates
the benzene ring towards electrophilic substitution.

Question 6. How many atoms can be assigned to its unit cell if an element forms
(i) a body centred cubic cell, and
(ii) a face centred cubic cell ?

Answer:
Body centred cubic
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The body centred cubic has one atom at the centre of the cube. Besides, it also has 8 atoms,
each at one of the 8 corners of the cube. corner atoms are shared by 8 other atoms. So, the
contribution of 8 corner atoms to the unit cell is 1/8X8=1. the centre atom at the body
centred cube is not shared by any other atom. so its contribution to the unit cell is 1. So,
total no. of atoms/unit cell=1+1=2.

Face centred cubic

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In a face centred cubic, there are 6 atoms in the faces, each at one of the 6 faces of the
cube. the face centred atoms are shared between two unit cells.So, the contribution of face
centred atoms is 6X1/2=3. Besides, it also contains 8 corner atoms shared by 8 other unit
cells. so, contribution of corner atoms is 8X1/8=1. So, the total no. of atoms/unit
cell=1+3=4.
