Explanation

In a zero-order reaction, the rate of reaction is independent of the concentration of the reactants and is equal to the rate constant k.

The rate equation for a zero-order reaction is  Rate=k, where the rate of reaction is constant and does not change with varying concentrations of reactants. 

Explanation

PHRV (Polyhydroxyalkanoates) is a type of biodegradable polymer.

It is produced by microorganisms and can be broken down by natural processes, making it environmentally friendly compared to other polymers.

Explanation

In an isothermal process, the temperature of the system remains constant.

According to the first law of thermodynamics, for an ideal gas, if the temperature is constant, the internal energy does not change.

Therefore, the change in internal energy is zero (ΔU = 0).

Explanation

Alkali metals (such as lithium, sodium, potassium, etc.) act as reducing agents.

They readily lose their single valence electron to form positive ions, which means they donate electrons in reactions

Explanation

Borazine, also known as borazole, has the chemical formula B₃H₆N₃.

It is a compound that resembles benzene in structure but with alternating boron and nitrogen atoms in the ring, along with hydrogen atoms. 

Explanation

Osmium is the densest naturally occurring element, with a density of approximately 22.59 g/cm³.

This makes it the highest density transition element, far exceeding the densities of elements like mercury and zinc.

Explanation

In the complex  [ 𝐹 𝑒 ( 𝑁 𝐻 3 ) 6 ] ^2 + , iron (Fe) is in the +2 oxidation state, meaning it has a  𝑑6 electron configuration.

Ammonia (NH₃) is considered a strong field ligand under Crystal Field Theory (CFT), causing the electrons in the 𝑑-orbitals to pair up due to the large splitting of the 

𝑑-orbitals.

In a strong field environment, the electrons occupy the lower energy  𝑡2𝑔 orbitals first, and all six electrons pair up, leaving no unpaired electrons.

Therefore, the number of unpaired electrons is 0.

Explanation

In the lecture method, the teacher has formal authority as they are the primary source of information and control the flow of content.

Explanation

In this sentence, "BUT" is a conjunction as it connects the contrasting ideas presented in the two clauses.

Explanation

Introducing yourself briefly and engagingly helps establish rapport with the students and sets a positive tone for the classroom environment.
