53. (4) The emission is in visible (VIBGYOR) region. Thus Balmer series i.e. either (3) or (4). In (3) only one
emission. The third line will be in the jump from 5 to 2.
54. (2) IE1 of N > IE1 of O due to half-filled stable configuration in N.
55. (2) Carbon tetrachloride has no dipole moment because of its regular tetrahedral structure, which is
symmetrical. So all bond dipoles give resultant equal to zero.
56. (3) For species to be isostructural they should have same hybridized state same number of b.p. and l.p.

61. (2) Anion is stabilize by –M and –I; so two powerful EWG (–NO2)stabilize anion.
62. (2)

–CH3 is ‘o/p’ directing whereas –NO2 is ‘meta’ directing group. Thus –Br enters a position which is ‘ortho’ to
–CH3 as well as ‘meta’ to –NO2 . Bromination occurs at only one place as –CH3 goes out of plane if both the
ortho position is brominated and reaction does not occur.

oxidising and reducing properties.

76. (3)
77. (3) H4P2O6 has P–P linkage.

78. (3) PH5 does not exist due to very less electronegativity difference between P and H. Hydrogen is slightly
more electronegative than phosphorus, thus could not hold the sharing electrons significantly.
On the other hand, BiCl5 does not exist due to inert pair effect. On moving down the group, +5 oxidation state
becomes less stable while +3 oxidation state becomes more stable.
In SO2, p  -d  and p  -p  both types of bonds are present.

80. (1) In the complex ion, [Fe(C2O4)3]3–and [Co(en)3]3+, the coordination number of Fe and Co is 6 because C2O42–
and ethane-1, 2-diamine are bidentate ligands.
81. (1) This reaction is an example of sulphonation.
82. (3) When phenol directly reacts with conc. HNO3, it gets first converted into quinone because conc.
HNO3oxidises phenol. Hence, picric acid obtained in low yield.

Picric acid can also be prepared by treating phenol with conc. H2SO4 (which converts it to phenol-2, 4-
disulphonic acid) and then with concentrated nitric acid.

glycosidic linkage between C-1 of one glucose unit and C-4 of the next glucose unit.

93. (1) –CH2CH3 and –OH functional groups when attached to the phenyl ring, shows +R effect and these groups
increases electron density at ortho/para position. –NO2 and –COOH show –I effect and electron density
inside the ring decreases. Friedel-craft’s alkylation deals with an electrophile attacking the benzene ring
–NO2 and –COOH make the ring electron deficient which is unfavourable for an electrophile.
94. (1) Due to lanthanide contraction effective nuclear charge of 5d series metals increases and size decreases.
95. (2) Higher the +ve charge density on N 2 , higher is the reactivity towards coupling.
96. (4) Complex reaction proceeds in more than one step (elementary reaction). Molecularity is the characteristic
of elementary reactions but not of the overall reaction.
97. (3) Photochemical smog is formed on the chemical reaction of sunlight, nitrogen oxides and volatile organic
compounds in the atmosphere.

98. (4) The chlorine atom that leaves to give us the most stable carbocation will act as the best leaving group.
Among the given options, the Cl attached to a 3° carbon will act as the best leaving group as this would give a
stable 3° carbocation (stable due to highest extent of hyperconjugation).
99. (1) [Co(ox)3]3– does not show geometrical isomerism as the ligands are symmetrical.
