Ans. b) it's very easy The Jahn Teller effect is responsible for the tetragonal distortion of the complex [Cu(H2O)6]2+, which possess regular octahedral geometry That's why [Cu(H2O)4]2+ is more reliable.
b) What "quantum mechanical effect" is responsible for the instability of the complex [Cu"(H20).]2+ relative to [Cu...

A quantum-mechanical effect called "tunneling" is important in electron transfer processes in biology. Quantum effects are thought to be important in other biological processes as well. First: research "quantum tunneling." Read a basic (Wikipedia-level, e.g.) description to obtain an intuitive grasp of what quantum-mechanical tunneling Then: research "quantum effects in biology." Any article on this topic is likely to include some discussion of electron transfer in photosystems; find a source that includes some discussion of other processes as well. Find...

a) and b) (a) The simplest quantum mechanical model for describing electrical conduction in a metal is the free electron gas in three dimensions. The density of states D(E) is given as: V 2m D(E)- 277 An estimate of the average electron energy can be obtained using the following expression: SEN(E)dE (E) - TH(E)DE where n(E)dE is the number of occupied electron states in an energy interval E to E + dE. Use a suitable expression for n(E) and introduce...
