Exceptions matter

I am starting this thread where there will be all the exceptions in chemistry....

plz post here... the exceptions in chemistry u know....grow it up...it may b helpful...

i m starting with a simple one.......

AgCN is a sparingly soluble salt that display increase in solubility in presence of KCN(common ion)
this is due to fomation of water soluble complex salt K[AgCN)2]

well a simple one.....salts of HF differ from the rest of hydracids ...AgF is soluble in water while other AgX dont....due to anamolous behaviour of fluorine

also fluorine only forms two different salts with metals....eg...NaF and NaHF2

Although fructose is a ketone, it reacts with Tollens reagent due to some rearragement.

AgCN forms isocyanide n others like KCN, NaCN etc. form cyanides.

Although halides are decactivarors for benzene ring they are ortho para directing.

Pls forgive me if they are too silly :( :( :(

(CH3)3-I ----KCN(in aq ethanol)----> (CH3)2=CH2(major product)

in IS block elements, all of the halides formed are ionic...except those of lithium halides dey are covalent due to the lesser electronegativity differences

^^^^ iska reason kya tha main bhool gaya ...... shayad size ka kuch tha ..... [12]

its not exception, buta generalised rule:

the E A of first member of representative element grup is lower than 2nd member coz of small size and which results in strong electron-electron repulsions

its also not actually an exception, but a pitfall:

but let me ask it first...how many natural elements r there??????

i'll answer to it tomorrow...

Pavithra Ramamoorthy ·

got dis on googlin....

90

but not sure abt it as d source is not reliable...
