ii)Transition metals and their compounds show catalytic activities because of Variable or multiple oxidation states, ability to form complexes, they provide large surface area for adsorption.

At the bottom-is the correct one.

Here, f(x)=x² -6 logx-3=0

f(2)=4-6 log2-3=-0.806

f(3)=9-6 log3-3=3.1373

f(2).f(3)=-0.806*3.1373=-2.529422 which is negative.

Hence, the root lies between 2 and 3

c₀ =(2+3)/2=2.5

f(2.5)=6.25-6 log 2.5-3=0.8623

Now

n	a(-ve)	b(+ve)	cn	f(cn)
0	2	3	2.5	0.8623
1	2	2.5	2.25	-0.050595
2	2.25	2.5	2.375	0.38664
3	2.25	2.375	2.3125	0.1631658
4	2.25	2.3125	2.28125	0.05506
5	2.25	2.28125	2.265625	0.001925

From the table,

f(2.265625)=0.001928<10^-2

Therefore, the...

Shortwave radio is used for broadcasting of voice and music, and long-distance communication to ships and aircraft, or to remote areas out of reach of wired communication or other radio services and that’s why it is more energetic than long waves. Shortwave radio is radio communication using the upper MF (medium frequency) and all of the HF (high frequency) portion of the radio spectrum, between 1,800–30,000 kHz. Shortwave radio received its name because the wavelengths in this band are...

Matter is anything that possesses mass, occupies space and may be perceived through one or more senses.

                           The physical divisions of matter are:

1. Solid : Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. A solid will retain its shape; the particles are not free to move around.

2. Liquid : Liquid matter is made of more loosely packed particles. It will take the shape of its container. Particles can...
