Concept :
This question is based on Stability of Resonating structure and their rules.

Solution :
Following are the rules to identify stability of resonating structures.

(2) Neutral structure is more stable than the one having charge separation.
(3) Negative charge is more stable on more electronegative atoms.
(i) (1 π bond Neutral)

(iii) (1 π bond with charge separation)

(iv) (Octet of 'C' is incomplete, negative charge on more EN 'O' atom)

positive charge with incomplete octet)

Hence order of stability is (i) > (iii) > (iv) > (ii)

42) Explain Question: This question is asking which statements are correct.
Concept: Periodic properties.
Solution:
(1) Oxygen atom is smaller as compared to sulphur; so in oxygen there is more inter-electronic
repulsion than that of sulphur.
(2) Charge increases so size decrease and number of electrons per proton also decreases; so
valence shell electron gradually becomes more tightly held by the nucleus.
(3) Valance shell electron configuration of P is ns2np3 (half filled stable configuration) and
valence shell electron configuration of S is ns2np4 (partially filled less stable configuration).

(4) Down the group atomic size increases. Fluorine experiences more inter electronic
repulsion than that of chlorine; so fluorine has less electron affinity than that of chlorine.

by 11 in our questions. all the digits are not distinct so possible cases are.

Case-III
aba
(a + a) – b = 2a – b
2a – b = 0 or 2a – b = 11
2a - b can not be equal to 22 or greater multiple.
2a – b = 0 ⇒ b = 2a
A ∈ {1, 2, 3, 4}
2a – b = 11 ⇒ 2a = b + 11
a ∈ {6, 7, 8, 9}
4 + 4 = 8 cases.
and each number will have 3 permutations
8 × 3 = 24 numbers.
Case-IV
baa
