General Knowledge Questions

It was on February 28th, 1928 that CV Raman announced  his discovery of New radiation-subsequently named the Raman Effect- that won him the Noble prize.

Seven of Indian states have bicameralism. Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Jammu and Kashmir, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Telangana and Uttar Pradesh are those with bicameralism legislature in India.

Hence, Tamil Nadu is the only one which is not having bicameral legislature in India among the given states.

The number of bonds between a pair of atoms is called the bond order.

Bond orders can be calculated from Lewis structures, which are the heart of the valence-bond model. Oxygen, for example, has a bond order of two.

When there is more than one Lewis structure for a molecule, the bond order is an average of these structures. The bond order in sulfur dioxide, for example, is 1.5  the average of an S-O single bond in one Lewis structure and an S=O double bond in the other.

In molecular orbital theory, we calculate bond orders by assuming that two electrons in a bonding molecular orbital contribute one net bond and that two electrons in an antibonding molecular orbital cancel the effect of one bond. We can calculate the bond order in the O₂ molecule by noting that there are eight valence electrons in bonding molecular orbitals and four valence electrons in antibonding molecular orbitals in the electron configuration of this molecule. Thus, the bond order is two.

C, an early systems programming language, was developed by Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson at Bell Labs between 1969 and 1973.

Lobsters, like snails and spiders, have blue blood due to the presence of hemocyanin, which contains copper. In contrast, vertebrates and many other animals have red blood from iron-rich hemoglobin.
