(i) Suppose the reactant of a reaction is present in one solvent and the other reactant is present in an another solvent.
(ii) The reaction between them is very slow, if the solvents are immisible.
(iii) As the solvents from separate phases the reactants have to migrate across the boundary to react.
(iv) But migration of reactants across the boundary is not easy. For such situations a third solvent is added which is miscible with both.
(v) So, the phase boundary is eliminated reactants freely mix and react fast.
(vi) But for large scale production of any product, use of a third solvent is not convenient as it may be expensive.
(vii) For such problems phase transfer catalysis provides a simple solution, which avoides the use of solvents.
(viii) It directs the use a phase transfer catalyst (a phase transfer reagent) to facilitate transport of a reactant in one solvent to the other solvent where the second reactant is present.
(ix) As the reactants are now brought together they rapidly react and form the product.
40.
(i) It is generally expected a steady decrease in atomic radius along a period as the nuclear charge increases and the extra electrons are added to the same sub shell.
(ii) But for the 3d transition elements, the expected decrease in atomic radius is observed from Sc to V, thereafter up to Cu the atomic radius nearly remains the same.
(iii) As we move from Sc to Zn in 3d series the extra electrons are added to the 3d orbitals, the added 3d electrons only partially shield the increased nuclear charge and hence the effective nuclear charge increases slightly.
(iv) However, the extra electrons added to the 3d sub shell strongly repel the 4s electrons and these two forces are operated in opposite direction and as they tend to balance each other, it leads to constancy in atomic radii.
(v) At the end of the series, d - orbitals of Zinc contain 10 electrons in which the repulsive interaction between the electrons is more than the effective nuclear charge and hence, the orbitals slightly expand and atomic radius slightly increases.

(i) The defects in ionic solids is by adding impurity ions.
(ii) If the impurity ions are in different valance state from that of host, vacancies are created in the crystal lattice of the host.
(iii) For example, addition of CdCl2 to silver chloride yields solid solutions where the divalent cation Cd2+ occupies the position of Ag+.
(iv) This will disturb the electrical neutrality of the crystal.
(v) In order to maintain the same, proportional number of Ag+ ions leaves the lattice.
(vi) This produces a cation vacancy in the lattice, such kind of crystal defects are called impurity defects.
43.
The stability of a complex or co-ordination compound refers to the extent up to which it exists in a solution as co-ordination sphere.
(i) Change on the central metal ion: Greater the charge on the central metal ion, greater the stability of complex.
(ii) Nature of the metal ion: Group 3 and 6 and inner transition elements form stable complexes when donor atoms of the ligands are N, O and F. The elements after group 6 of the transition metals form stable complex when the donor atoms of the ligands are the heavier members of N, O and F family.
(iii) Basic nature of the ligands: Greater the basic strength, greater is the stability of the complex.
(iv) Presence of chelate rings: Its presence increases the stability of the complex. it is called chelate effect. It is maximum for the 5 and 6 membered rings.
(v) Effect of multidentate cyclic ligand: If the ligands are IT multidentate and cyclic without any steric effect the stability of the complex get increased.
