(ii) Two optical isomers for exist.
Give evidence that [Co(NH3)5Cl]SO4 and [Co(NH3)5SO4]Cl are ionization isomers.
planar structure is diamagnetic and the [NiCl4]2− ion with tetrahedral geometry is paramagnetic.
There are 4 CN− ions. Thus, it can either have a tetrahedral geometry or square planar geometry. Since CN− ion is a strong field ligand, it causes the pairing of unpaired 3d electrons.
In case of [NiCl4]2−, Cl− ion is a weak field ligand. Therefore, it does not lead to the pairing of unpaired 3d electrons. Therefore, it undergoes sp3 hybridization.
[NiCl4]2− is paramagnetic while [Ni(CO)4] is diamagnetic though both are tetrahedral. Why?
Though both [NiCl4]2− and [Ni(CO)4] are tetrahedral, their magnetic characters are different. This is due to a difference in the nature of ligands. Cl− is a weak field ligand and it does not cause the pairing of unpaired 3d electrons. Hence, [NiCl4]2− is paramagnetic.
[Fe(H2O)6]3+ is strongly paramagnetic whereas [Fe(CN)6]3− is weakly paramagnetic. Explain.
In both and , Fe exists in the +3 oxidation state i.e., in d5 configuration.
Since CN− is a strong field ligand, it causes the pairing of unpaired electrons. Therefore, there is only one unpaired electron left in the d-orbital.
Thus, it is evident that is strongly paramagnetic, while is weakly paramagnetic.
Explain [Co(NH3)6]3+ is an inner orbital complex whereas [Ni(NH3)6]2+ is an outer orbital complex.
Predict the number of unpaired electrons in the square planar [Pt(CN)4]2− ion.
The hexaquo manganese(II) ion contains five unpaired electrons, while the hexacyanoion contains only one unpaired electron. Explain using Crystal Field Theory.
The crystal field is octahedral. Water is a weak field ligand. Therefore, the arrangement of the electrons in is t2g3eg2. The crystal field is octahedral. Cyanide is a strong field ligand. Therefore, the arrangement of the electrons in isT2g5eg0.
Calculate the overall complex dissociation equilibrium constant for the Cu(NH3)42+ ion, given that β4 for this complex is 2.1 × 1013.
The overall complex dissociation equilibrium constant is the reciprocal of the overall stability constant, β4.
Explain the bonding in coordination compounds in terms of Werner’s postulates.
FeSO4 solution mixed with (NH4)2SO4 solution in 1:1 molar ratio gives the test of Fe2+ ion but CuSO4 solution mixed with aqueous ammonia in 1:4 molar ratio does not give the test of Cu2+ ion. Explain why?
Both the compounds i.e., and fall under the category of addition compounds with only one major difference i.e., the former is an example of a double salt, while the latter is a coordination compound.
A double salt is an addition compound that is stable in the solid state but that which breaks up into its constituent ions in the dissolved state. These compounds exhibit individual properties of their constituents. For e.g. breaks into Fe2+, NH4+, and SO42− ions. Hence, it gives a positive test for Fe2+ ions.
Explain with two examples each of the following: coordination entity, ligand, coordination number, coordination polyhedron, homoleptic and heteroleptic.
The neutral molecules or negatively charged ions that surround the metal atom in a coordination entity or a coordinal complex are known as ligands. For example, , Cl−, −OH. Ligands are usually polar in nature and possess at least one unshared pair of valence electrons.
What is meant by unidentate, didentate and ambidentate ligands? Give two examples for each.
(a) Unidentate ligands: Ligands with only one donor sites are called unidentate ligands. For e.g., , Cl− etc.
The charge on the complex is −2.
List various types of isomerism possible for coordination compounds, giving an example of each.
How many geometrical isomers are possible in the following coordination entities?
(i) For [Cr(C2O4)3]3−, no geometric isomer is possible as it is a bidentate ligand.
Optical isomerism Since only cis isomer is optically active, it shows optical isomerism.
In total, three isomers are possible.
Write all the geometrical isomers of [Pt(NH3)(Br)(Cl)(py)] and how many of these will exhibit optical isomers?
In both these cases, the weak field ligand water is replaced by the F− and Cl− ions.
What is the coordination entity formed when excess of aqueous KCN is added to an aqueous solution of copper sulphate? Why is it that no precipitate of copper sulphide is obtained when H2S(g) is passed through this solution?
Thus, the coordination entity formed in the process is K2[Cu(CN)4]. is a very stable complex, which does not ionize to give Cu2+ ions when added to water. Hence, Cu2+ ions are not precipitated when H2S(g) is passed through the solution.
As CN− is a strong field ligand, it causes the pairing of the unpaired 3d electrons.
6 electron pairs from CN− ions occupy the six hybrid d2sp3orbitals.
There are 6 F− ions. Thus, it will undergo d2sp3 or sp3d2 hybridization. As F− is a weak field ligand, it does not cause the pairing of the electrons in the 3d orbital. Hence, the most feasible hybridization is sp3d2.
Hence, the geometry of the complex is octahedral and paramagnetic.
Draw figure to show the splitting of d orbitals in an octahedral crystal field.
The splitting of the d orbitals in an octahedral field takes palce in such a way that , experience a rise in energy and form the eg level, while dxy, dyzand dzx experience a fall in energy and form the t2g level.
What is spectrochemical series? Explain the difference between a weak field ligand and a strong field ligand.
What is crystal field splitting energy? How does the magnitude of Δo decide the actual configuration of d-orbitals in a coordination entity?
[Cr(NH3)6]3+ is paramagnetic while [Ni(CN)4]2− is diamagnetic. Explain why?
In [Ni(CN)4]2−, Ni exists in the +2 oxidation state i.e., d8 configuration.
CN− is a strong field ligand. It causes the pairing of the 3d orbital electrons. Then, Ni2+ undergoes dsp2 hybridization.
A solution of [Ni(H2O)6]2+ is green but a solution of [Ni(CN)4]2− is colourless. Explain.
In [Ni(H2O)6]2+, is a weak field ligand. Therefore, there are unpaired electrons in Ni2+. In this complex, the d electrons from the lower energy level can be excited to the higher energy level i.e., the possibility of d−d transition is present. Hence, Ni(H2O)6]2+ is coloured.
In [Ni(CN)4]2−, the electrons are all paired as CN– is a strong field ligand. Therefore, d-d transition is not possible in [Ni(CN)4]2−. Hence, it is colourless.
[Fe(CN)6]4− and [Fe(H2O)6]2+ are of different colours in dilute solutions. Why?
The colour of a particular coordination compound depends on the magnitude of the crystal-field splitting energy, Δ. This CFSE in turn depends on the nature of the ligand. In case of [Fe(CN)6]4− and [Fe(H2O)6]2+, the colour differs because there is a difference in the CFSE. Now, CN− is a strong field ligand having a higher CFSE value as compared to the CFSE value of water. This means that the absorption of energy for the intra d-d transition also differs. Hence, the transmitted colour also differs.
Discuss the nature of bonding in metal carbonyls.
The metal-carbon bonds in metal carbonyls have both σ and π characters. A σ bond is formed when the carbonyl carbon donates a lone pair of electrons to the vacant orbital of the metal. A π bond is formed by the donation of a pair of electrons from the filled metal d orbital into the vacant anti-bonding π* orbital (also known as back bonding of the carbonyl group). The σ bond strengthens the π bond and vice-versa. Thus, a synergic effect is created due to this metal-ligand bonding. This synergic effect strengthens the bond between CO and the metal.
The d orbital occupation for Co3+ is t2g6eg0.
What is meant by stability of a coordination compound in solution? State the factors which govern stability of complexes.
What is meant by the chelate effect? Give an example.
How many ions are produced from the complex Co(NH3)6Cl2 in solution?
Thus, [Co(NH3)6]+ along with two Cl− ions are produced.
Amongst the following ions which one has the highest magnetic moment value?
Therefore, the complex can be written as K+[Co(CO)4]−. Therefore, the oxidation number of Co in the given complex is −1. Hence, option (iii) is correct.
We know that the stability of a complex increases by chelation. Therefore, the most stable complex is [Fe(C2O4)3]3−.

Binance Coin is way ahead of other cryptocurrencies for price growth so far in 2019.
As we approach Spring 2019, BNB has been the only coin out of the Dirty Dozen to rally to price levels from before 2018’s winter in equities and crypto prices.
The Dirty Dozen are the twelve relatively mature cryptocurrencies that currently have a $1M+ market cap and a lot of circulating volume- so they flow through many hands.
There will be more than a dozen again soon enough as many more private currencies swell in capitalization to the $1M+ threshold. But the current roster is: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Litecoin, EOS, Bitcoin Cash, Binance Coin, Stellar, Tether, TRON, Cardano, and Bitcoin SV.
Of these 12 most highly capitalized cryptocurrencies BNB currently comprises 1.8% of the total market capitalization, ranking Binance Coin seventh out of all cryptocurrencies globally in order of market cap size, behind Bitcoin Cash and ahead of Stellar.
TRON Founder and CEO Justin Sun says Binance Coin is another Bitcoin.
Bitcoin- to which Binance Coin has been compared recently on its remarkable run ahead of the rest of the pack (e.g. Binance coin is “the next Bitcoin,” as TRON Founder and CEO Justin Sun has averred)- comprises 60% of the Dirty Dozen’s total market capitalization.
So notwithstanding the assessment of the venerable TRON Founder, and owner of BitTorrent who did after all just make $2.8M worth of BNB for an offering of 23.7M BTT in January, Binance Coin would have a way to go before it’s the next Bitcoin.
Litecoin is appreciating very well in 2019, but its price gains are nothing like Binance Coin’s 2019 liftoff.
The only other major, older coin to shake off the frost from 2018’s crypto winter and warm up to a spring price breakout anything like Binance Coin’s is Litecoin.
Litecoin is the 2011 fork of the Bitcoin core software implementation to create a coin with similar properties to Bitcoin, but which processes new blocks every 2.5 minutes instead of every 10 minutes, and which uses the more computationally-intensive Scrypt for proof of work hashes instead of SHA-256 like Bitcoin.
The altcoin has been described as the digital equivalent of silver to Bitcoin’s status as the digital equivalent of gold. Its advantages are lower transaction fees than bitcoin, and shorter average transaction confirmation time.
Until ASICs were updated in the never ending mining arms race to be Scrypt capable, Litecoin also created interest for people with CPUs who could not compete with these Application Specific Integrated Circuits.
Scrypt requires proof your RAM worked too, briefly shutting out the ASIC computational artillery designed for the sole purpose of performing hashes and mining bitcoin.
As the next halvening of the miners’ Litecoin reward in August 2019 approaches, crypto investors are filling their saddles with Litecoin. But digital silver still has a ways left to reach its pre-2018 crypto winter valuations like liquid coin for ICO investments have.
A Binance Launchpad ICO boom is giving Binance Coin’s price a massive rocket boost.
On January 28 the BitTorrent Token (BTT) ICO, which sold 59.4 billion BTT for around $7 million (at a price roughly equivalent to $0.00012 USD for 1 BTT), sold out in under 15 minutes for both BTT/BNB and BTT/TRX sessions.
The sale happened so fast people complained that they were unable to make a purchase of BTT at the time of the ICO within minutes of the coin offering opening.
Although all transactions cleared with coins in their new owners’ accounts in under 15 minutes for both sessions, Binance CEO C.Z. says if he had used more computer power to process requests the $7 million BTT ICO could have been completed in ten seconds.
It was over in a about 10 seconds. The queue was totally packed within seconds. The processing is just draining the queue slowly. Congrats to @fetch_ai !
Since February 25, the price of BTT has settled into a very stable $0.00074496 USD / 1 BTT for a cool 521% return on the initial investment for those who traded their BNB or TRON for BTT. Even with its meteoric rise since BTT’s Jan 28th ICO, Binance Coin’s 160% price increase was still no match for the file sharing giant’s token hot off its ICO.
Far vaster profits were made by those who sold their BitTorrent Tokens in February when 1 BTT could fetch four Lincoln pennies before the price settled to its current level.
Since then another Binance Launchpad-powered ICO, for Fetch.AI, fetched $6 million for the coin’s developers in 22 seconds over Binance.
Fetch.AI tokens debuted at a price of 0.008584 BNB / 1 FET, and will currently fetch back .01448 BNB for every 1 Fetch.AI token investors bought.
The next Binance Launchpad ICO will be on March 19th for Celer.
For risk tolerant day traders who’ve been following along closely with crypto and ICOs seeking short term opportunities for high rewards, the ability to make those kind of returns on a speculative investment in promising new cryptocurrencies is throwing fuel on the fire of the raging demand for BNB that Binance has so methodically built.
Despite the crypto community’s (albeit in many cases rather compelling) disparagement of the ICO bubble- which accumulated its fair share of well-deserved criticisms throughout 2017 and 2018, along with massive infusions of capital for the coins’ creators and huge profits for some very well-funded, highly-organized speculators, who know what they’re doing- crypto investors continue to have a relentless appetite for ICOs in 2019.
Along with providing liquidity and discounted fees for trades among the 171 cryptos currently exchanged on Binance, BNB Coin seems to be well assured of trading strong throughout 2019, buoyed by investor demand for bits of the tech businesses knocking on Binance’s door, massive user base and a sensible use case for tokenization in tow.

Trump's legal team is bracing for the dramatic possibility that Mueller would subpoena the President, setting up a collision that could force a lengthy court fight and test the legal limits of the President's power all the way up to the Supreme Court.
Mueller has raised the possibility of a presidential subpoena in at least one meeting, according to two sources. But some of the President's legal advisers are gambling that Mueller would not go that far. The Washington Post first reported on the subpoena threat.
The already slim chances of Trump sitting for a voluntary interview with Mueller's investigators are growing dimmer, sources close to the President say.
Asked whether the President would ever plead the Fifth Amendment to avoid answering questions, two sources said the legal team believes there are many "constitutional challenges" that would need to be met before that possibility even would be considered.
Trump's lawyers are careful to say that the President hasn't shut the door to a possible agreement for an interview. His new legal team is still assessing that before making a recommendation, sources say.
The leaking of a version of Mueller's potential questions for the President, first published by The New York Times, and the President's reaction on Twitter underscore where the issue is moving, sources say.
Trump himself has told reporters he'd speak with the special counsel, and the President's legal team initially claimed that an interview could happen under the right terms.
The President's lawyers said they wanted to finish the interview quickly, claiming it would help end the special counsel's investigation.
But after the April 9 raid of his personal attorney, Michael Cohen, the President's view of sitting down with Mueller had a "seismic shift," according to one source -- from yes toward no.
Many legal observers believe that if Mueller issues a grand jury subpoena for Trump's testimony, the courts will order the President to comply, because the Supreme Court has repeatedly ordered presidents to comply with subpoenas.
During independent counsel Kenneth Starr's investigation of President Bill Clinton related to Monica Lewinsky, prosecutors eventually subpoenaed the president for grand jury testimony. Clinton's lawyers attempted to delay Clinton from speaking to prosecutors for months and told a federal judge they would avoid arguing the issue in court. They ultimately agreed to let Clinton appear before the grand jury without the weight of a subpoena.
In 1974, in United States v. Nixon, the Justices unanimously directed President Richard Nixon to comply with a criminal trial subpoena for the White House tapes. And in 1997, in Clinton v. Jones, the Court directed Clinton to comply with a subpoena for his deposition in Paula Jones' civil sexual harassment lawsuit against him.
Yet if Mueller attempts to force Trump to testify under subpoena -- as many legal analysts suspect could happen -- the sources familiar with the thinking of Trump's legal team say they believe Trump could successfully challenge the subpoena all the way to the Supreme Court.
One of the sources says the legal team views a subpoena for a presidential interview as "precipitating a constitutional crisis."
The Trump team's legal argument, according to multiple sources, is that they believe the special counsel does not have the authority to force a President to appear before a grand jury.
They also believe that Article II of the Constitution, which defines the office of the President, prevents the high court from ordering an investigation into the President's use of his executive powers. In this case, that could include the hiring and firing of persons like former national security adviser Michael Flynn and ex-FBI Director James Comey.
Their political argument also has changed. While the lawyers were originally in a let's-get-this-over-with mode, they now believe that time is on their side -- especially with the 2018 elections looming.
They believe that Trump has done a good job discrediting the investigators and the investigation itself.
Barrack's spokeswoman, Lisa Baker, declined to comment.
Washington (CNN) Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort will await his trial for foreign lobbying charges from jail.
Two weeks after special counsel Robert Mueller's prosecutors dropped new accusations of witness tampering on him, US District Judge Amy Berman Jackson on Friday revoked Manafort's bail, which had allowed him to live in his Alexandria, Virginia, apartment under house arrest.
The order marked an end to almost eight months of attempts by Manafort to lighten his house arrest restrictions after he was charged and pleaded not guilty to foreign lobbying violations.
"The harm in this case is harm to the administration of justice and harm to the integrity of the court's system," Berman Jackson told Manafort in court.
The judge emphasized to Manafort how she could not make enough rulings to keep him from speaking improperly with witnesses, after he had used multiple text messaging apps and called a potential witness on an Italian cellphone.
"This is not middle school. I can't take his cellphone," she said of Manafort. "I thought about this long and hard, Mr. Manafort. I have no appetite for this."
Manafort also entered a not guilty plea to two additional charges levied against him last week, of witness tampering and conspiracy to obstruct justice. In total, he faces seven criminal charges in DC federal court.
Three US marshals led Manafort out of the packed courtroom into the prisoner holding area immediately after the judge's ruling. He was not placed in handcuffs. Before he disappeared through the door, he turned toward his wife and supporters and gave a stilted wave.
Minutes later, a marshal returned to give Manafort's wife, Kathleen, still standing in the courtroom's front row, his wallet, belt and the burgundy tie he wore Friday.
Court marshals held Manafort in the bowels of the courthouse for several hours following the hearing as they considered how to keep him protected from other inmates behind bars. He arrived about 8 p.m. at the Northern Neck Regional Jail in Warsaw, Virginia, 90 miles south of Washington.
In a tweet, President Donald Trump said the decision to revoke Manafort's bail was "tough," although he referred to it as a "sentence."
"Wow, what a tough sentence for Paul Manafort, who has represented Ronald Reagan, Bob Dole and many other top political people and campaigns. Didn't know Manafort was the head of the Mob. What about Comey and Crooked Hillary and all of the others? Very unfair!"
"This hearing is not about politics, is not about conduct of the office of the special counsel."
When Manafort was first arraigned and pleaded not guilty in October, a magistrate judge set a $10 million bail price and placed him under house arrest, confiscating his passports. Manafort then attempted to find assets of his own and through real estate and family members' accounts. In December, the judge signed off on his plan -- provided he could supply the correct documentation. It didn't come through, according to the court filings.
Prosecutors have argued all along that the jet-setting political consultant was a significant flight risk. As the process to negotiate his bail dragged on, prosecutors discovered possible mortgage fraud related to some of the properties he hoped to use as bail. That's when they finalized additional federal criminal charges against him in Virginia.
In the past month, Manafort finally came up with a plan to post some of his own and others' properties for his bail. The prosecutors appeared to agree with the plan, according to court filings.
Then, last week, Mueller's team alleged they found evidence Manafort had tried to coach potential witnesses.
On Friday, they told the judge Manafort was a "danger to the community" and that he had committed a crime while out on release: obstruction of justice.
A man was driving with his wife through rural Italy when his phone rang. Manafort identified himself to the man, Alan Friedman, a public relations consultant he once worked with.
"I need to give you a heads up about Hapsburg," Manafort told him three times. "Have you seen any article about Hapsburg?"
Manafort was referring to a project he and Friedman had worked on years ago to bring influential Europeans to the US to push pro-Ukrainian politics while the group posed as independent experts. The project, dubbed the Hapsburg group, was among Manafort's efforts to skirt foreign lobbying laws, prosecutors allege.
Friedman turned down the radio as Manafort spoke, Andres said, then hung up the phone a minute and a half into the call. Manafort tried several more times to reach him in the following days.
Andres said prosecutors now know Manafort used multiple ways to communicate with former colleagues like Friedman and Konstantin Kilimnik, a Moscow-based associate who's also charged in the alleged witness tampering: In addition to phone calls and half a dozen encrypted messaging apps, Manafort uses a system with email called "foldering," where multiple people have access to an account and write messages to one another as drafts,but the emails are never sent.
"This was a sustained campaign over a five-week period to use multiple numbers, applications and people," Andres said in court about the witness tampering allegations.
Manafort's lawyer Richard Westling argued that Manafort had no way to know Friedman would be a witness in the case. Westling asked the judge to simply issue a more specific order for Manafort to follow while out on bail.
"This will not happen again," Westling said.
But the witness tampering allegations, which also resulted in new criminal charges, were enough Friday for Manafort to lose his house arrest privileges.
Manafort has maintained his innocence and vowed to fight the charges since he was indicted alongside Gates in late October. Gates has since changed his plea to guilty and agreed to help prosecutors, because of the significant cost of his legal fees and attention bearing down on him and his family. Another associate of Manafort's, Kilimnik, was charged with witness tampering and has not yet appeared in court.
Prosecutors haven't tied Manafort, Gates and Kilimnik's alleged wrongdoings to the actions of the Trump campaign, which is at the core of Mueller's investigation. However, prosecutors have said in several previous court filings that they are looking into Manafort's contacts with Russians and Ukrainians -- including Kilimnik -- and possible coordination he may have orchestrated with them while he oversaw the campaign.
Manafort had spent his days since October stuck in his apartment under court order. He could leave only for legal meetings, medical needs and religious observances. The judge had allowed him to travel a few times for special exceptions, such as to his father-in-law's funeral on Long Island and his grandson's baptism in Virginia.
He wore ankle bracelets that tracked his movements through GPS technology, one on each leg.
Leading up to Friday's hearing, Manafort was optimistic he would avoid jail, according to a source familiar with the situation, but he and his legal team expected Mueller's team to be as aggressive as possible.
His friends were "shellshocked" in the wake of the judge's decision Friday, the source said.
Manafort's new confines create another hurdle in his trial preparations and will make it more difficult for him to confer with his counsel and prepare his defense.
(CNN) Michael Cohen, the President's former fixer and ultimate loyalist, is sending a clear signal to President Donald Trump and his attorney, Rudy Giuliani, that "the truth is not you(r) or your client's friend," according to sources with knowledge of Cohen's thinking.
It is his most direct statement so far on the reason for Donald Trump Jr's meeting with Kremlin-linked lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya in June 2016.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller is investigating US intelligence findings that Russians conspired to sway the election in Mr Trump's favour.
He has called the ongoing investigations in the US "the greatest political witch hunt in history".
Russia has repeatedly denied claims it interfered in the November 2016 presidential elections, where Mr Trump defeated Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
On Sunday, US media including the Washington Post, CNN and AP reported that Mr Trump was worried Donald Trump Jr could be in legal trouble because of the 9 June 2016 meeting with Ms Veselnitskaya. They cited multiple unnamed sources.
Mr Trump responded: "Fake News reporting, a complete fabrication, that I am concerned about the meeting my wonderful son, Donald, had in Trump Tower.
"This was a meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and done all the time in politics - and it went nowhere.
Why does his tweet matter?
When the meeting was first reported by the New York Times, Donald Trump Jr said in a statement that he and Ms Veselnitskaya had mostly discussed a suspended programme for Americans to adopt Russian children.
However, he subsequently admitted he had agreed to the meeting after being told he would be offered information that would prove detrimental to Mrs Clinton. He also released the email exchange that brought about the meeting.
US commentators have argued that Mr Trump's new admission that the meeting was to gain information about Mrs Clinton shows that the earlier statement was misleading.
Why is the Trump Tower meeting controversial?
It is common for US politicians to research their opponents during a campaign.
His apparently enthusiastic response to the offer of information about Mrs Clinton could also breach conspiracy laws.
The Trump team has argued that Mr Trump Jr ultimately did not receive any damaging information about Mrs Clinton at the meeting.
One of Mr Trump's lawyers, Jay Sekulow, said on Sunday that the meeting had nor broken any laws.
"The question is what law, statute or rule or regulation's been violated? Nobody's pointed to one," Mr Sekulow told ABC News.

On Thursday, October 17th and Friday October 18th Dr. Stephen Quake, of Stanford University, will deliver three talks for the Della Pietra Lecture Series at the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics, Stony Brook University.
Is biology a quantitative science like physics? I will discuss the role of precision measurement in both physics and biology, and argue that in fact both fields can be tied together by the use and consequences of precision measurement. The elementary quanta of biology are twofold: the macromolecule and the cell. Cells are the fundamental unit of life, and macromolecules are the fundamental elements of the cell. I will describe how precision measurements have been used to explore the basic properties of these quanta, and more generally how the quest for higher precision almost inevitably leads to the development of new technologies, which in turn catalyze further scientific discovery. In the 21st century, there are no remaining experimental barriers to biology becoming a truly quantitative and mathematical science.

Stephen Quake is a Professor of Bioengineering and of Applied Physics at Stanford University. He earned his B.S. in Physics and M.S. in Mathematics from Stanford, and his D.Phil. in Physics from Oxford University in 1994 as a Marshall Scholar. He did his postdoctoral work at Stanford with Stephen Chu on single molecules of DNA extension. After Stanford, he joined the department of Applied Physics and Physics at the California Institute of Technology at the age of 26. In 2004, he moved back to join the newly formed Department of Bioengineering at Stanford. He has been an investigator with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) since 2006.
His initial work focused on understanding the biophysics of DNA by building various tools and devices. Hearing about George M. Whitesides’ work using polymeric microfluidics, he teamed up with Axel Scherer to develop inexpensive fabrication methods for microfluidic chips for Lab-on-a-chip applications. These new fabrication methods allow for the design of more complicated geometries, which allow for microfluidic large-scale integration. Using these chips, the Quake group has been able to create crystals for x-ray crystallography and single-molecule DNA sequencing. In addition to his work at Stanford, he is a cofounder of both Helicos Biosciences and Fluidigm Corporation. In 2002, he was named as one of the Technology Review’s TR35. In 2004, he was the recipient of the NIH Director’s Pioneer Award. He is the 2012 winner of the Lemelson–MIT Prize.

In Google’s ‘Year in Search’ for 2016, Google has released the list of things we (Nigeria’s) search most through the Google search engine for 2016.
From the list, we can see how Nigerians has shown the love that they have for Tecno and Infinix smartphones. Well, iPhone 7 top the list of most search smartphones for 2016 while Infinix Note 3 is the second and Samsung Galaxy S7 is the third. The amazing thing is Tecno W4 and Tecno W3 among the most search smartphones for this year. Wait, not even Gionee, Huawei or Innjoo feature on the list, is it because of economic recession Nigerians don’t search for them? Huh?
Some other top searches on Google for the year were personalities like ‘Stephen Keshi’ and ‘Bukky Ajayi’ who died this year, Donald Trump, America’s president-elect, his opponent ‘Hillary Clinton’ and Legendary American boxer ‘Muhammad Ali’.

Verb: When a rapper pronounces a word differently then it is traditionally pronounced as to make said word rhyme with a word it conventionally does not rhyme with.
Eminem is rhyme pinching when he mispronounces the word "by" to make it sound like it rhymes with the word "god" , even though these words do not congrue with a traditional rhyme.

You have probably heard about the rise in Singapore’s property prices coinciding with the acceleration of the markets. You have also probably heard that because of the changes in various housing rules, acquiring property within Singapore has become easier for those purchasing domestically and from foreign globe.
Condos are especially a popular choice of foreign buyers. Singapore authorities used to possess a rule in which a different buyer could only purchase an apartment in a building higher than six stories and the apartment had to be classified as a condominium. This rule no longer applies, but has not interfered with condo sales within buildings.
Yet to purchase a flat as a result of what’s called Executive Condominium projects (EC), you must deemed a Singapore citizen or resident and the purchase have got to take place anywhere between the sixth and tenth year from the date the Temporary Occupation Permit was granted. Any foreigners or corporate bodies who are not permanent residents of Singapore are not eligible in order to an EC. But the majority of that if you can be a foreigner or part of the corporate body, you can purchase an EC if it is in its eleventh year from the date the Temporary Occupation Permit was issued.
So if you might be a permanent citizen perhaps corporate body who wants to purchase an EC, the appropriate action is to locate the developer in that particular area obtain the information you’ll want to make your order. If you are a foreigner or corporate body eager to purchase an EC, you should also check with the developer in designed you are considering about so that you should find what ECs have a their eleventh year and beyond.
But if you want a good Jade scape condo, discover go the EC route or can perform look into apartments that have apartments that are classified as condos. It more or less depends on your citizenship, if happen to be part of a company body that has relocated in Singapore, or what type of money you capable spend. Although property prices within Singapore have seen a rise, that rise is due into the demand and success of the economy, which cannot be overlooked. These successes have resulted in a successful real estate market that involves anything from homes to the perfect condo, so be sure to look into purchasing property in Singapore if you are relocating domestically or relocating abroad.
