Both $[Ni(CO)_4]$ and $[Ni(CN)_4]^{2-}$ are diamagnetic. The hybridisations of nickel in the complexes,respectively are

The line $\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1$ moves in such a way that $\frac{1}{a^2} + \frac{1}{b^2} = \frac{1}{2c^2}$,where $a, b, c \in R_0$ and $c$ is a constant. Then,the locus of the foot of the perpendicular from the origin on the given line is -

The thermo emf of a thermocouple is given by $E = aT + bT^2$,where $\frac{a}{b} = -200^{\circ}C$. If the cold junction is kept at $30^{\circ}C$,then the inversion temperature is ($\varepsilon$ in volt,$T$ in centigrade). (in $K$)

Cultivation of $Bt$ cotton has been much in the news. The prefix $Bt$ means

Find the correct stability order for the following carbocations:

$A$ star initially has $10^{40}$ deuterons. It produces energy via the processes:
${}_1H^2 + {}_1H^2 \to {}_1H^3 + p$
${}_1H^2 + {}_1H^3 \to {}_2He^4 + n$
The masses of the nuclei are as follows: $M(H^2) = 2.014 \, amu$,$M(p) = 1.007 \, amu$,$M(n) = 1.008 \, amu$,$M(He^4) = 4.001 \, amu$. If the average power radiated by the star is $10^{16} \, W$,the deuteron supply of the star is exhausted in a time of the order of:
