31. The single-stranded RNA genome of SARS-CoV-2 contains 29891 nucleotides,
encoding for 9860 amino acids. Coronavirus, the highly contagious, like other
RNA viruses, while adapting to their new human hosts, is prone to genetic
evolution with the development of mutations over time, resulting in mutant
variants, Alpha (B.1.1.7), Beta (B.1.351), Gamma (P.1), Delta (B.1.617.2),
[1+1+2]
Omicron (B.1.1.529). Despite mass vaccination efforts including boosters, the
emergence of these new SARS-Cov-2 variants threatens to overturn the
significant progress made so far in limiting the spread of this viral illness.
Corona viruses (CoVs) are positively stranded RNA (+ssRNA) viruses with a
crown like/appearance due to presence of spike glycoproteins on the envelope.

RNA synthesis in coronavirus is more complex, transcription and replication
may serve as a paradigm of RNA viruses in general.
The virus uses the host cell’s machinery to replicate. Covid-19 vaccines are
based on RNA technology. ‘RNA based vaccine inject a short sequence, of
synthetic mRNA that is enclosed in a specially engineered lipid nanoparticle
which provide instructions to produce the virus antigens which produce
antibodies to fight against corona virus.

Page | 10
21 (a) The reasons are(ANY 1) 1
(i) Due to resonance/diagrammatic representation, C – Cl bond acquires a partial
double bond character. As a result, the C – Cl bond in chlorobenzene is shorter
and hence stronger. Thus, cleavage of C – Cl bond in benzene becomes
difficult which makes it less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution.
(ii) Due to repulsion between nucleophile and electron rich arenes.
(b) (±)-Butan-2-ol is optically inactive because in racemic mix one type of rotation is 1
cancelled by other.
OR
(a) Benzyl alcohol to benzoic acid.

Acidified or alkaline KMnO4 followed by hydrolysis with dil H2SO4 ½+1/2
(b)
22 (a)Ionisable ions or molecules exist outside the coordination sphere. When a complex 1
dissolves, it releases more ions, making it more conductive.

24 (a) When surface area of the reactant is increased, there is greater contact between the ½+½
reactant molecules. Hence rate of reaction increases.
(b) Temperature of the reaction is decreased . Kinetic energy of the molecules depends ½+½
upon the temperature. Smaller and less effective collision between molecule. So

29 Give reasons for any 3 of the following observations:

(a) In aniline, the lone pair of electrons on the N-atom is delocalised over the benzene
ring. As a result, the electron density on the nitrogen decreases.
But in cyclohexylamine, the lone pair of electrons on N-atom is readily available 1x3
due to absence of reelections. Hence aniline is weaker base than cyclohexylamine. (any 3)
(b) Because the primary amine formed by ammonolysis itself acts as a nucleophile and
produces further 2° and 3° alkyl amine.
(c) Due to the strong activating effect of the NH2 group, aromatic amines undergo
electrophilic substitution reactions readily than benzene.
(d) Aniline being a Lewis base reacts with Lewis acid AlCl3 to form a salt.
As a result, N of aniline acquires positive charge and hence it acts as a strong

deactivating group for electrophilic substitution reaction. Consequently, aniline does
not undergo Freidel Craft reaction.
30. (a)
1
(b)Haloarenes (say chlorobenzene) is a resonance hybrid of the following five

structures : 1
Resonance leads to lowering of energy and hence greater stability. On the other hand,
no such resonance is possible in haloalkanes. Halogens directly attached to benzene
ring are o, p-directing in electrophilic substitution reactions. This is due to greater
electron density at these positions in resonance.

hypertonic. Hence, exosmosis i.e., water will move from inside to outside of RBC
through its cell membrane due to this, RBCs will shrink.
(ii) Because macromolecules such as proteins and polymers are generally not stable 1
at higher temperature and osmotic pressure is measured at room temperature. (Or
any other suitable reason)
(iii) NaCl when dissolved in water, the vapour pressure decreases. As a result, the
solution freezes at lower temperature but boils at higher temperature than water. 1

SECTION – D
Directions (Q. No. 31-32) : The following questions are case-based questions.
Each question has an internal choice and carries 4 (1+1+2) marks each. Read
the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
31. Carbohydrates are polyhydroxy aldehydes and ketones and those compounds which
on hydrolysis gives such compounds are carbohydrates . The carbohydrates which are
not further hydrolysed are called monosaccharides.Monosaccharides with aldehyde
group are called aldose and those which have free ketonic groups are called ketose.
Polysaccharides may be very large molecules. Starch, glycogen, cellulose, and chitin
are examples of polysaccharides. Starch is the stored form of sugars in plants and is
made up of amylose and amylopectin (both polymers of glucose). Amylose is soluble
in water and can be hydrolyzed into glucose units breaking glycosidic bonds, by the
enzymes a -amylase and β - amylase. It is straight chain polymer. β -mylopectin is a
branched chain polymer of several D-glucose molecules. 80% of amylopectin is
present in starch. Plants are able to synthesize glucose, and the excess glucose is stored
as starch in different plant parts, including roots and seeds. The starch that is consumed
by animals is broken down into smaller molecules, such as glucose. The cells can then
absorb the glucose. Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in humans and other
vertebrates, and is made up of monomers of glucose. It is structurally quite similar to
amyl pectin. Glycogen is the animal equivalent of starch. It is stored in liver and
skeletal muscles. Cellulose is one of the most abundant natural biopolymers. The cell
walls of plants are mostly made of cellulose, which provides structural support to the
cell. Wood and paper are mostly cellulosic in nature. Like amylose, cellulose is a linear
polymer of glucose. Cellulose is made up of glucose monomers that are linked by
bonds between particular carbon atoms in the glucose molecule. Every other glucose
monomer in cellulose is flipped over and packed tightly as extended long chains. This
gives cellulose its rigidity and high tensile strength—which is so important to plant
Page | 19
cells. Cellulose passing through our digestive system is called dietary fiber. Based on
the above passage, answer the following questions:
(i) Glycogen is a kind of polysaccharide and is the storage form of glucose present in
humans and other vertebrates. It is the animal equivalent of starch but can you say
where is it stored in animals?
(ii) What can you infer about the characteristic of amylose from the passage?
(iii) Whenever glucose levels drop in our body, a bipolymer breaks down to release
glucose. Name this bipolymer and it is structurally similar to which polymer?
OR
(iv) Which polymer is important to plant cells? How?
32. Two solutions having same osmotic pressure at a given temperature are called
isotonic solutions. When such solutions are separated by semipermeable membrane,
no osmosis occurs between them. For example, the osmotic pressure associated with
fluid inside the blood cell is equivalent to that of 0.9% (mass/volume) sodium chloride
solution, called normal saline solution and it is safe to inject intravenously. On the
other hand, if we place the cells in a solution containing more than 0.9% sodium
chloride, water will flow out of the cells and they would shrink. Such a solution is
called hypertonic. If the salt concentration is less than 0.9%, the solution is said to be
hypotonic. In this case, water will flow into the cells if placed in this solution and they
would swell. Answer the following questions:
(i) What is meant by isotonic solution?
(ii) Which concentration of sodium chloride solution is suitable for transfusion into
blood?
(iii) Define osmotic pressure. Why osmotic pressure method has more advantages for
the determination of molar mass of solute
OR
(iii) If a solution of 3g of sodium chloride dissolved in 500 ml of water is injected
into the body, what will happen to the blood cells?

five structures :
Resonance leads to lowering of energy and hence greater stability. On

the other hand, no such resonance is possible in haloalkanes. Halogens
directly attached to benzene ring are o, p-directing in electrophilic

SECTION-C
26. (a) Aniline exists as a resonance hybrid of the following five structures : 1
The electron density is maximum at ortho and para positions to the –

NH2 group. But in benzene there is no delocalisation of electron at any
position and hence electrophilic substitution in case of aromatic amines
takes place more readily than benzene.
(b) Due to presence of two H-atoms on N-atom of primary amines, they
undergo extensive intermolecular H-bonding while tertiary amines 1
due to the absence of a H-atom on the N-atom, do not undergo H-
bonding. As a result, primary amines have higher boiling points than
3° amines.
(c) In ethanamide the lone pair of electron of N-atom is not available due
to resonance structure 1
(d) Due to more steric hindrance in (CH3)3N it is less basic than

(CH3)2NH. So it is a weaker base. 1

donor atoms positioned in such a way that when they coordinate with the
central metal ion, a five or a six membered ring is formed. This effect is 1
called Chelate effect. As a result, the stability of the complex increases.
28. (a) Given : M2 = 58.5 g mol-1 w1 = 65 g
ΔTf = 7.5 °C K, = 1.86 Kf kg mol-1 i = 1.87 1
Substituting these values in the formula

1
∴ Mass of NaCl to be dissolved, w2 = 8.199 g
(b) Aquatic species need dissolved oxygen for breathing. As solubility of

gases decreases with increase of temperature, less oxygen is available in 1
summer in the lake. Hence the aquatic species feel more comfortable in
winter (low temperature) when the solubility of oxygen is higher.
29. (a) Acid catalysed hydration: Alkenes react with water in the presence of
acid as catalyst
to form alcohols
Mechanism : It involves three steps :

(i) Protonation of alkene to form carbocation by electrophilic attack of
H3O+
(b). Phenol forms benzoquinone on oxidation with Na2Cr2O7 / H2SO4,
30. (a) CH2=CH-CH2-Br is more reactive because allyl carbocation is more 2

stable.

concentration is the conductance of the volume ‘V’ of a solution
1
containing one mole of electrolyte kept between two electrodes with area
of cross section ‘A’ and distance of unit length. It is represented by Λm .
Λm = kAl ∴ l = 1 and A = V
∴Λm= KV Unit = S cm2 mol-1
Effect of change of concentrations on molar conductivity.
In case of strong electrolytes there is a small increase in conductance
with dilution because a strong electrolyte is completely dissociated in
solution and the number of ions remains constant. Moreover there will
be greater inter-ionic attractions at higher concentrations which retards
the motion of ions and conductance decreases. In case of weak
electrolytes there is increase in conductance with decrease in
concentration due to the increase in the number of ions in the solution.

(c) Kohlrausch law of independent migration of ions : The limiting
molar conductivity of an electrolyte (i.e. molar conductivity at infinite 1

states.
(c) Because high enthalpies of atomisation of 4d and 5d series and high
ionization enthalpies, the M.P. and B.P. of heavier transition elements 1
are greater than those of first transition series which is due to stronger
intermetallic bonding. Hence 4d and 5d series metals generally do not

31. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of all
living things. ATP captures chemical energy obtained from the breakdown of food
molecules and releases it to fuel other cellular processes. ATP is a nucleotide that
consists of three main structures: the nitrogenous base, adenine; the sugar, ribose; and
a chain of three phosphate groups bound to ribose. The phosphate tail of ATP is the
actual power source which the cell taps. Available energy is contained in the bonds
between the phosphates and is released when they are broken, which occurs through
the addition of a water molecule (a process called hydrolysis). Usually only the outer
phosphate is removed from ATP to yield energy; when this occurs ATP is converted
to adenosine diphosphate (ADP), the form of the nucleotide having only two
phosphates. The importance of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) as the main source of
Page | 33
chemical energy in living matter and its involvement in cellular processes has long
been recognized. The primary mechanism whereby higher organisms, including
humans, generate ATP is through mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. For the
majority of organs, the main metabolic fuel is glucose, which in the presence of oxygen
undergoes complete combustion to CO2 and H2O:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 →6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
The free energy (ΔG) liberated in this exergonic (ΔG is negative) reaction is partially
trapped as ATP in two consecutive processes: glycolysis (cytosol) and oxidative
phosphorylation (mitochondria). The first produces 2 mol of ATP per mol of glucose,
and the second 36 mol of ATP per mol of glucose. Thus, oxidative phosphorylation
yields 17-18 times as much useful energy in the form of ATP as can be obtained from
the same amount of glucose by glycolysis alone. The efficiency of glucose metabolism
is the ratio of amount of energy produced when 1 mol of glucose oxidised in cell to the
enthalpy of combustion of glucose. The energy lost in the process is in the form of
heat. This heat is responsible for keeping us warm.
(a) What type of process is cellular oxidation?
(b) What does ATP molecule consist of?
(c) What is the efficiency of glucose metabolism if 1 mole of glucose gives 38ATP
energy? (Given: The enthalpy of combustion of glucose is 686 kcal, 1ATP= 7.3kcal)

32. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
Boiling point or freezing point of liquid solution would be affected by the dissolved
solids in the liquid phase. A soluble solid in solution has the effect of raising its boiling
point and depressing its freezing point. The addition of non-volatile substances to a
solvent decreases the vapor pressure and the added solute particles affect the formation
of pure solvent crystals. According to many researches the decrease in freezing point
directly correlated to the concentration of solutes dissolved in the solvent. This
phenomenon is expressed as freezing point depression and it is useful for several
applications such as freeze concentration of liquid food and to find the molar mass of
an unknown solute in the solution. Freeze concentration is a high quality liquid food
concentration method where water is removed by forming ice crystals. This is done by
cooling the liquid food below the freezing point of the solution. The freezing point
depression is referred as a colligative property and it is proportional to the molar
concentration of the solution (m), along with vapor pressure lowering, boiling point
elevation, and osmotic pressure. These are physical characteristics of solutions that
depend only on the identity of the solvent and the concentration of the solute. The
characters are not depending on the solute’s identity.

31. α-Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. About 20 α-amino acids have been
isolated by the hydrolysis of proteins. All these amino acids except glycine are chiral
and have L-configuration. Ten amino acids (valine, leucine, isoleucine,
phenylalanine, methionine, tryptophan, threonine, lysine, arginine, and histidine)
which the body cannot synthesize are called essential amino acids. The remaining ten
are called non-essential amino acids. All α-amino acids exist as zwitter-ions each of
which has specific isoelectric point. Above isoelectric point, a α-amino acid exists as
an anion. Two, three or many α-amino acids join together to form di, tri, or
polypeptides or proteins respectively. Each polypeptide or protein has a free
amino group at one end called the N-terminal end and a free carboxyl group at the
other end called the C-terminal end. Sanger’s reagent (2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene) is

32. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: (1×2+2=4)
A solution is a solute dissolved in a solvent. By adding a solute to the solvent, we create
these solutions that have different properties from pure solvents. Atmospheric pressure
comes from the mass of air in atmosphere being pulled towards the centre of gravity
(weight of air). Vapour pressure is the pressure exerted by the vapour of the liquid.
The temperature, at which the vapour pressure of liquid is equal to the atmospheric
pressure, is known as boiling point. Club soda is an example of a solution, where the
solvent is water and the solute is CO2. Since CO2 also acts as a solute, the club soda
does not freeze at 0oC. In salt-water we cannot remove the salt particles from the water,
but in club soda, we can remove the CO2 from the water by shaking the bottle, so that
the CO2 moves to the top and opening the bottle, releasing the CO2 leaving us with
water at a temperature below 0oC.

choice and carries 4 (1+1+2) marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer
the questions that follow.
31. Boiling point or freezing point of liquid solution would be affected by the dissolved
solids in the liquid phase. A soluble solid in solution has the effect of raising its boiling
point and depressing its freezing point. The addition of non-volatile substances to a
solvent decreases the vapour pressure and the added solute particles affect the
formation of pure solvent crystals. According to many researches the decrease in
freezing point directly correlated to the concentration of solutes dissolved in the
Page | 68
solvent. This phenomenon is expressed as freezing point depression and it is useful for
several applications such as freeze concentration of liquid food and to find the molar
mass of an unknown solute in the solution. Freeze concentration is a high quality liquid
food concentration method where water is removed by forming ice crystals. This is
done by cooling the liquid food below the freezing point of the solution. The freezing
point depression is referred as a colligative property and it is proportional to the molar
concentration of the solution (m), along with vapour pressure lowering, boiling point
elevation, and osmotic pressure. These are physical characteristics of solutions that
depend only on the identity of the solvent and the concentration of the solute. The
characters are not depending on the solute’s identity.

solvents have the same depression in freezing point ? Justify your answer.

32. The sequence of bases along the DNA and RNA chain establishes its primary structure
which controls the specific properties of the nucleic acid. An RNA molecule is usually
a single chain of ribose-containing nucleotide. On the basis of X-ray analysis of DNA,
J.D., Watson and F.H.C. crick (shared noble prize in 1962) proposed a three
dimensional secondary structure for DNA. DNA molecule is a long and highly
complex, spirally twisted, double helix, ladder like structure. The two polynucleotide
chains or strands are linked up by hydrogen bonding between the nitrogeneous base
molecules of their nucleotide monomers. Adenine (purine) always links with thymine
(pyrimidine) with the help of two hydrogen bonds and guanine (purine) with cytosine
(pyrimidine) with the help of three hydrogen bonds. Hence, the two strands extend in
opposite directions, i.e., are antiparallel and complimentary.

choice and carries 4(1 +1+2) marks each. Read the passages carefully and answer
the questions that follow:
31. According to the molecularity, which defines the number of molecules that are altered
in a reaction: a reaction A → P is unimolecular (sometimes called monomolecular),
and a reaction A + B → P is bimolecular. One-step reactions of higher molecularity
are extremely rare, if they occur at all, but a reaction A + B + C → P would be
trimolecular (or termolecular). Alternatively one can classify a reaction according to
its order, a description of its kinetics that defines how many concentration terms must
be multiplied together to get an expression for the rate of reaction. Hence, in a first-
order reaction the rate is proportional to one concentration; in a second-order reaction
it is proportional to the product of two concentrations or to the square of one
concentration; and so on.
For a simple reaction that consists of a single step, or for each step in a complex
reaction, the order is usually the same as the molecularity (though this may not be
apparent if one concentration, for example that of the solvent if it is also a reactant, is
so large that it is effectively constant). However, many reactions consist of sequences
of unimolecular and bimolecular steps, and the molecularity of the complete reaction
need not be the same as its order. Indeed, a complex reaction often has no meaningful
order, as the overall rate often cannot be expressed as a product of concentration terms.
(a) Define order of reaction
(b) Why molecularity of more than 3 is not possible.
(c) A first order reaction takes 30 minutes for 50% completion. Calculate the time
required for 90% completion of this reaction. (log 2 = 0.3010)
Page | 79
OR
The rate constant of a first order reaction is 60 s-1. How much time will it take to reduce
the initial concentration of the reactant to its 1/16th value?
32. Many SN reactions are carried out using the solvent as the nucleophilic agent. They
are called solvolysis reactions and involve solvents such as water, ethanol, ethanoic
acid, and methanoic acid. Two examples are
In these examples, solvolysis is necessarily a first-order reaction, because normally the

solvent is in such great excess that its concentration does not change appreciably
during reaction, and hence its contribution to the rate does not change. However, that
the overall rate is first order does not mean the reaction necessarily proceeds by an SN1
mechanism, particularly in solvents such as water, alcohols, or anilines, which are
reasonably good nucleophilic agents. The solvent can act as the displacing agent in an
S,2 reaction.
If the reaction is strictly SN1, the rate at which RX disappears should remain
essentially unchanged because it reacts only as fast as R+forms, and the rate of this step
is not changed by addition of the nucleophile, even if the nucleophile reacts with R +
However, if the reaction is SN2, the rate of disappearance of RX should increase
because RX reacts with the nucleophile in an SN2 reaction and now the rate depends
on both the nature and the concentration of the nucleophile.

SECTION D
31. The amines are basic in nature due to the presence of a lone pair of electrons on
N-atom of the -NH2 group, which it can donate to electron deficient compounds.
Aliphatic amines are stronger bases than NH3 because of the +I effect of the alkyl
groups. Greater the number of alkyl groups attached to N-atom, higher is the electron
density on it and more will be the basicity. Aniline is a weaker base compared to
ammonia. This is because the lone pair of electrons on N-atom of aniline is less
available for protonation due to ammonia. This is because the lone pair of electrons
on N-atom of available for protonation due to its involvement in conjugation with the
π-electrons of the benzene ring. Further the presence of electron withdrawing groups
decreases the basicity while, the presence of electron donating groups activates the
benzene ring and also increases the basicity.
(a) (CH3)2NH is more basic than (CH3)3 N in an aqueous solution. Give reason
(b) Arrange the following increasing order of basic strength:
C6H5NH2, C6H5NHCH3, C6H5N(CH3)2

OR

32. The unique behavior of Cu, having a positive E°, accounts for its inability to
liberate H2 from acids. Only oxidising acids (nitric and hot concentrated sulphuric)
react with Cu, the acids being reduced. The high energy to transform Cu(s) to Cu2+(aq)
is not balanced by its hydration enthalpy. The general trend towards less negative E°
values across the series is related to the general increase in the sum of the first and
second ionization enthalpies, it is interesting to note that the value of E° for Mn, Ni
and Zn are more negative than expected from the trend. The stability of the half-filled
d sub-shell in Mn2+ and completely filled d10 configuration in Zn2+ are related to their
E values whereas E° for Ni is related to the highest negative ∆hyd H. An examination
of the E°(M3+/M2+) values shows the varying trends. The highest value for Zn is due to
the removal of an electron from the stable d10 configuration of Zn2+. The
comparatively high value stability of Fe3+(d5). The comparatively low value for V is
related to the stability of V2+ (half-filled t2g level).
(a) Cobalt (II) is very stable in aqueous solutions but gets easily oxidised in the
presence of strong ligands.

31. The two monosaccharides are joined together by an oxide linkage formed by the loss
of a water molecule. Such a linkage between two monosaccharides.units through

32. The transition metals when exposed to oxygen at low and intermediate temperatures
form thin, protective oxide films of up to some thousands of Angstroms in thickness.
Transition metal oxides lie between the extremes of ionic and covalent binary
compounds formed by elements from the left or right side of the periodic table. They
range from metallic to semiconducting and deviate by both large and small degrees
from stoichiometry. Since d-electron bonding levels are involved, the cations-exist in
various valence states and hence give rise to a large number of oxides. The crystal
structures are often classified by considering a cubic or hexagonal close-packed lattice
of one set of ions filling the octahedral or tetrahedral interstices. The actual oxide
structures, however, generally show departures from such regular arrays due in part to
distortions caused by packing of ions of different size and to ligand field effects. These
distortions depend not only on the number of d-electrons but also on the valence and
the position of the transition metal in a period or group.
(a) Transition elements show high melting points. Why?

(b) Reactivity of transition elements decreases almost regularly from Sc to Cu.

Source/ Case based Questions:
The properties of the solutions which depend only on the number of solute particles
but not on the nature of the solute are called colligative properties. Relative
lowering in vapour pressure is also an example of colligative properties.

was found to be 0.061 mm of Hg. (Vapour pressure of water at 20°C is 17.5 mm of
Hg.)

An ideal solution may be defined as the solution which obeys Raoult's law exactly
over the entire range of concentration. The solutions for which vapour pressure is
either higher or lower than that predicted by Raoult's law are called non-ideal
solutions.
Non-ideal solutions can show either positive or negative deviations from Raoult's
law depending on whether the A-B interactions in solution are stronger or weaker
than A - A and B - B interactions.

SOURCE BASED QUESTIONS

25. Read the following paragraph carefully and answer the following:
Chemical kinetics, also known as reaction kinetics, is the branch of physical
chemistry that is concerned with understanding the rates of chemical reactions. It
is to be contrasted with chemical thermodynamics, which deals with the direction
in which a reaction occurs but in itself tells nothing about its rate. Chemical kinetics
includes investigations of how experimental conditions influence the speed of
a chemical reaction and yield information about the reaction's
mechanism and transition states, as well as the construction of mathematical
models that also can describe the characteristics of a chemical reaction. After van
't Hoff, chemical kinetics deals with the experimental determination of reaction
rates from which rate laws and rate constants are derived.
Questions:
(i) For which order reaction, rate of reaction and rate constant have same units?
(ii) For a certain reaction, large fraction of molecules has energy more than the
threshold energy, yet the rate of reaction is very slow. Why?
(iii) A reaction is first order in A and second order in B. then (a) How is rate
affected on increasing the concentration of B three times? (b) How is rate
affected when conc of both A and B is doubled?

CASE BASED QUESTIONS:

choice and carries 4(1 +1+2) marks each. Read the passages carefully and answer
the questions that follow:
16. The Lanthanide Contraction applies to all 14 elements included
in theLanthanide series. This series includes Cerium(Ce), Praseodymium(Pr),
Neodymium(Nd), Promethium(Pm), Samarium(Sm), Europium(Eu),
Gadolinium(Gd), Terbium(Tb), Dysprosium(Dy), Holmium(Ho), Erbium(Er),
Thulium(Tm), Ytterbium(Yb), and Lutetium(Lu). The atomic radius, as according
to the Lanthanide Contraction, of these elements decreases as the atomic number
increases. The Lanthanide Contraction is the result of a poor shielding effect of the
4f electrons. The shielding effect is described as the phenomenon by which the
inner-shell electrons shield the outer-shell electrons so they are not effected by
nuclear charge. So when the shielding is not as good, this would mean that the
positively charged nucleus has a greater attraction to the electrons, thus decreasing
the atomic radius as the atomic number increases. The s orbital has the greatest
shielding while f has the least and p and d in between the two with p being greater
than d.The Lanthanide Contraction can be seen by comparing the elements with f
electrons and those without f electrons in the d block orbital. Pd and Pt are such
elements. Pd has 4d electrons while Pt has 5d and 4f electrons. These 2 elements
have roughly the same atomic radius. This is due to Lanthanide Contraction and
shielding.
(i) Why actinide contraction is more than lanthanide contraction?
(ii) What is the common oxidation state of lanthanides?
(iii) Define lanthanide contraction. Give two of its consequences
OR
Compare the chemistry of lanthanides with that of actinides with reference to
(a) Reactivity (b) Oxidation states
17. Oxidation state is a hypothetical state, where the atom appears to release or gain
electrons more than the usual valency state. It is still useful in explaining the
properties of the atom/ion. Transition elements/ions may have electrons in both s
and d-orbitals. Since the energy difference between s and d-orbital are small, both
the electrons can involve in ionic and covalent bond formation and hence exhibit
multiple(variable) valency states (oxidation states).Each transition element can
hence exhibit a minimum oxidation state corresponding to the number of s-
electrons and maximum oxidation state equivalent to the total number of electrons
Page | 110
available in both s and d-orbitals. In between oxidation states also become possible.
Relative stabilities of the oxidation states depend on many factors, like, the stability
of the resulting orbital, IE, electronegativity, enthalpy of atomization, enthalpy of
hydration, etc. Lower oxidation states in these metals are stabilised by ligands like
CO, which are pi-electron donors, whereas the higher oxidation states are stabilised
by electronegative elements like Fluorine(F) and Oxygen(O). The minimum
Oxidation state of 1 is shown by Cr, Cu, Ag, Au and Hg. Maximum oxidation state
equal to the s and d-electrons is exhibited by middle-order elements in each series.
Elements may show all the Oxidation states in between the minimum and maximum

CASE BASED QUESTION

Valence bond theory considers the bonding between the metal ion and the ligands
as purely covalent. On the other hand, crystal field theory considers the metal-
ligand bond to be ionic arising from electrostatic interaction between the metal
ion and the ligands. In coordination compounds, the interaction between the
ligand and the metal ion causes the five d-orbitals to split-up. This is called crystal
field splitting and the energy difference between the two sets of energy level is
called crystal field splitting energy. The crystal field splitting energy (Δo) depends
upon the nature of the ligand. The actual configuration of complexes is divided by
the relative values of Δo and P (pairing energy)
If Δo < P, then complex will be high spin.
If Δo > P, then complex will be low spin.
(i). If CFSE for octahedral [CoCl6]4− is 18,000 cm−1. Then what will be CFSE for
tetrahedral [CoCl4]2−
(ii) Using crystal field theory, calculate magnetic moment of central metal ion of
[FeF6]4-.
(iii) On the basis of crystal field theory, write the electronic configuration of d4 in
two situations: (i) Δo > P and (ii) Δo< P
OR
Discuss the crystal field splitting in an octahedral field.
Page | 114
To explain bonding in coordination compounds various theories were proposed.
One of the important theory was valence bond theory. According to that, the
central metal ion in the complex makes available a number of empty orbitals for
the formation of coordination bonds with suitable ligands. The appropriate atomic
orbitals of the metal hybridise to give a set of equivalent orbitals of definite
geometry. The d-orbitals involved in the hybridisation may be either inner d-
orbitals i.e., (n - 1) d or outer d-orbitals i.e., nd. For example, CO3+ forms both
inner orbital and outer orbital complexes, with ammonia it forms
[Co(NH3)6]3+ and with fluorine it forms [CoF6]3- complex ion.
(i) Co2+ is easily oxidized to Co3+ in presence of a strong ligand. Give reason
(ii) CO is a stronger complexing reagent than NH3. Give reason

Crystal field splitting: It is the splitting of the
degenerate energy levels due to the presence of
ligands. When ligand approaches a transition metal
ion, the degenerate d-orbitals split into two sets, one
with lower energy and the other with higher energy.
This is known as crystal field splitting and the
difference between the lower energy set and higher
energy set is known as crystal field splitting energy

carbonyl compounds under mild conditions, copper-based catalyst has been
discovered. This copper-based catalytic system utilizes oxygen or air as the
ultimate, stoichiometric oxidant, producing water as the only by-product
A wide range of primary, secondary, allylic, and benzylic alcohols can be

smoothly oxidized to the corresponding aldehydes or ketones in good to
excellent yields. Air can be conveniently used instead of oxygen without
affecting the efficiency of the process. However, the use of air requires

(IV) CASE BASED QUESTION
Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:(1+1+2)
Aldehydes and ketones are highly reactive compounds. Since both these classes of
organic compounds have the same functional group. i.e., polarized carbonyl group,
they show a number of common reactions. However, the presence of a H-atom on
the carbonyl group of aldehydes make them much more reactive than ketones. At
the same time, this H-atom is responsible for many reactions in which aldehydes
differ from ketones. The carbonyl group undergoes nucleophilic addition reactions
due to electronegativity difference between carbon and oxygen atoms. Aldehydes
and ketones react with hydrogen cyanide(HCN) to yield cyanohydrins. Further
aldehydes and ketons having atleast on α-H atom in the presence of dilute alkali as
a catalyst form β-hydroxy aldehyde (aldol) or β-hydroxy ketones (ketol). This
reaction is known as aldol condensation. Aldehydes which do not have an
α-hydrogen undergo disproportionation reaction in the presence of concentrated
alkali giving a mixture of alcohol and salt of carboxylic acid. This reaction is called
Cannizzaro’s reaction. Cannizzaro’s reaction involves a hydride ion shift from the
carbonyl carbon that is attacked by the base to another carbonyl carbon. Since, there
Page | 128
is no hydrogen attached to the carbonyl carbon in a ketone therefore therefore it
does not undergo Cannizzaro reaction.

ketones. Why?

Page | 132
1. Assertion: Acylation of amines gives a monosubstituted product whereas alkylation
of amines gives polysubstituted product.
Reason: Acyl group sterically hinders the approach of further acyl groups
2. Assertion: Hoffmann’s bromamide reaction is given by primary amines.
Reason: Primary amines are more basic than secondary amines.
3. Assertion: N, N-Diethylbenzene sulphonamide is insoluble in alkali.
Reason: Sulphonyl group attached to nitrogen atom is strong electron
withdrawing group.
4. Assertion: Only a small amount of HCl is required in the reduction of nitro
compounds with iron scrap and HCl in the presence of steam.
Reason: FeCl2 formed gets hydrolysed to release HCl during the reaction.
5. Assertion: Acetanilide is less basic than aniline.
Reason: Acetylation of aniline results in decrease of electron density on nitrogen.
SOURCE BASED & CASE BASED QUESTION.
PASSAGE: (SOURCE BASED)
1. The lower aliphatic amines are gases with fishy odour. Primary amines with three
or more carbon atoms are liquid and still higher ones are solid. Aniline and other aryl
amines are usually colourless but get coloured on storage due to atmospheric
oxidation. Lower aliphatic amines are soluble in water because they can form
hydrogen bonds with water molecules. However, solubility decreases with increase
in molar mass of amines due to increase in size of the hydrophobic alkyl part. Higher
amines are essentially insoluble in water. Considering the electronegativity of
nitrogen of amine and oxygen of alcohol as 3.0 and 3.5 respectively, you can predict
the pattern of solubility of amines and alcohols in water. Amines are soluble in
organic solvents like alcohol, ether and benzene. You may remember that alcohols
are more polar than amines and form stronger intermolecular hydrogen bonds than
amines.
(a) Out of butan-1-ol and butan-1-amine, which will be more soluble in water and
why?
(b) Arrange the following in increasing order of boiling point.
(Ethanoic acid, ethanamine, ethanol)
(c) Arrange the following in increasing order of solubility in water.
(Aniline, ethanamine, N-ethylethanamine)
(d) Why do primary amines have higher boiling points than tertiary amines?
PASSAGE: (CASE BASED)
2. Amines are usually formed from nitro compounds, halides, amides, imides, etc. They
exhibit hydrogen bonding which influence their physical properties. In alkylamines,
a combination of electron releasing, steric and H-bonding factors influence the
stability of the substituted ammonium cations in protic polar solvents and thus affect
the basic nature of amines. Alkyl amines are found to be stronger bases than
ammonia. In aromatic amines, electron releasing and withdrawing groups,
respectively increase and decrease their basic character. Aniline is a weaker base than
ammonia. Reactions of amines are governed by availability of the unshared pair of
Page | 133
electrons on nitrogen. Influence of the number of hydrogen atoms at nitrogen atom
on the type of reactions and nature of products is responsible for identification and
distinction between primary, secondary and tertiary amines. p-Toluenesulphonyl
chloride is used for the identification of primary, secondary and tertiary amines.
Presence of amino group in aromatic ring enhances reactivity of the aromatic amines.
Reactivity of aromatic amines can be controlled by acylation process, i.e.,by treating
with acetyl chloride or acetic anhydride. Tertiary amines like trimethylamine are used
as insect attractants.
(a) Arrange the following in decreasing order of the pKb values:
C2H5NH2, C6H5NHCH3, (C2H5)2NH and C6H5NH2
(b) Arrange the following In increasing order of basic strength:
Aniline, p-nitroaniline and p-toluidine
(c) Arrange the following in the decreasing order of basic strength in gas phase:
C2H5NH2, (C2H5)2NH, (C2H5)3N and NH3
(d) Arrange the following in the increasing order of their basic strength in aqueous
solution.
C2H5NH2, NH3, (C2H5)2NH, (C2H5)3N, C6H5NH2.
CH3NH2, NH3, (CH3)2NH, (CH3)3N, C6H5NH2.

SOURCE/CASE BASED QUESTIONS:

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of
all living things. ATP captures chemical energy obtained from the breakdown of food
molecules and releases it to fuel other cellular processes. ATP is a nucleotide that
consists of three main structures: the nitrogenous base, adenine; the sugar, ribose;
and a chain of three phosphate groups bound to ribose. The phosphate tail of ATP is
the actual power source which the cell taps. Available energy is contained in the
bonds between the phosphates and is released when they are broken, which occurs
through the addition of a water molecule (a process called hydrolysis). Usually only
the outer phosphate is removed from ATP to yield energy; when this occurs ATP is
converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP), the form of the nucleotide having only
Page | 137
two phosphates. The importance of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) as the main source
of chemical energy in living matter and its involvement in cellular processes has long
been recognized. The primary mechanism whereby higher organisms, including
humans, generate ATP is through mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. For the
majority of organs, the main metabolic fuel is glucose, which in the presence of
oxygen undergoes complete combustion to CO2 and H2O:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 -→6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
The free energy (ΔG) liberated in this exergonic (ΔG is negative) reaction is partially
trapped as ATP in two consecutive processes: glycolysis (cytosol) and oxidative
phosphorylation (mitochondria). The first produces 2 mol of ATP per mol of glucose,
and the second 36 mol of ATP per mol of glucose. Thus, oxidative phosphorylation
yields 17-18 times as much useful energy in the form of ATP as can be obtained from
the same amount of glucose by glycolysis alone. The efficiency of glucose
metabolism is the ratio of amount of energy produced when 1 mol of glucose oxidised
in cell to the enthalpy of combustion of glucose. The energy lost in the process is in
the form of heat. This heat is responsible for keeping us warm.
(a) What type of process is cellular oxidation?
(b) What does ATP molecule consist of ?
(c) What is the efficiency of glucose metabolism if 1 mole of glucose gives 38ATP
energy?(Given: The enthalpy of combustion of glucose is 686 kcal, 1ATP= 7.3kcal)
OR
Explain the term “Energy Currency”. Which substance acts as energy currency in
plants and animals?
Carbohydrates are polyhydroxy aldehydes and ketones and in addition to that, those
compounds which on hydrolysis give such compounds are also carbohydrates. The
carbohydrates which are not hydrolysed are called monosaccharides.
Monosaccharides with aldehyde group are called aldose and those with free ketonic
group are called ketose. Carbohydrates are optically active. The number of optical
isomers = 2n, where n= number of asymmetric carbons or chiral carbons.
Carbohydrates are mainly synthesized by plants during photosynthesis. The
monosaccharides give the characteristic reactions of alcohols and carbonyl group
(Aldehyde and Ketones). It has been found that these monosaccharides exist in the
form of cyclic structures. In cyclization, the –OH group (generally C-5 or C-4 in
aldohexoses and C-5 or C-6 in ketohexoses) combine with the aldehyde or keto
group. As a result, cyclic structures of five of six membered rings containing one
oxygen atom are formed, e.g, glucose forms a ring structure. Glucose contains one
aldehyde group, one primary alcoholic group and four secondary alcoholic groups in
its open structure.
(a) Name the first member of Ketose sugar?
(b) What are monosaccharides?
(c) Predict the number of optical isomers in
CH2(OH)-CH(OH)-CH(OH)-CH(OH)-CH(OH)-CHO ?

structure?
