Oxidation number of $P$ in $Mg_2P_2O_7$ is

$\cos 36^{\circ} - \cos 72^{\circ}$ is equal to

The value of electric potential at any point due to an electric dipole is

The equation of the plane passing through the point $(1, 2, -3)$ and perpendicular to the planes $3x + y - 2z = 5$ and $2x - 5y - z = 7$ is:

Correct increasing order of spin magnetic moment (in $B.M.$) for the following complexes is:
$(I) [FeF_6]^{-3}$
$(II) [V(H_2O)_6]^{+2}$
$(III) [Fe(H_2O)_6]^{+2}$

The formation of the oxide ion $O^{2-}_{(g)}$ requires first an exothermic and then an endothermic step as shown below:
$O_{(g)} + e^- \to O^-_{(g)}; \Delta H = -142 \ kJ/mol$
$O^-_{(g)} + e^- \to O^{2-}_{(g)}; \Delta H = 844 \ kJ/mol$
This is because:
