 SECTION: D [2Q X 4M = 8 Marks]
The following questions are case-based questions. Each question has an internal choice and carries 4
(1+1+2) marks each.
31. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
The existence of coordination compounds with the same formula but different arrangements of the ligands was
crucial in the development of coordination chemistry. Two or more compounds with the same formula but
different arrangements of the atoms are called isomers. Isomers are compounds with the same molecular
formula but different structural formulas and do not necessarily share similar properties. There are many
different classes of isomers, like stereoisomers, enantiomers, and geometrical isomers. There are two main
forms of isomerism: structural isomerism and stereoisomerism. The different chemical formulas in structural
isomers are caused either by a difference in what ligands are bonded to the central atoms or how the individual
ligands are bonded to the central atoms.
1. What type of isomerism is observed in
[Cr(H2O)4 Cl2 ] ?
2. What kind of isomerism exists between
[Cr(H 2 O)6 ]Cl3 (violet) and [Cr(H 2 O)5 Cl]Cl2 .H 2 O (grayish-green)?
3. Define linkage isomersm.
OR
3. What type of isomerism is observed in palladium complexes of the type [Pd(C6 H 5 ) 2 (SCN) 2 ] and
[Pd(C6 H 5 ) 2 (NCS) 2 ] ?
32. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
The objects which are non-superimposable on their mirror image (like a pair of hands) are said to be chiral and
this property is known as chirality. Chiral molecules are optically active, while the objects, which are,
superimposable on their mirror images are called achiral. These molecules are optically inactive. The above
test of molecular chirality can be applied to organic molecules by constructing models and its mirror images or
by drawing three dimensional structures and attempting to superimpose them in our minds. There are other
aids, however, that can assist us in recognizing chiral molecules. One such aid is the presence of a single
asymmetric carbon atom.
In these questions a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given. Choose the correct
answer out of the following choices.
1. What are enantiomers?
2. Why a racemic mixture containing two enantiomers in equal d & l forms proportions will have zero
optical rotation?
