29. Read the following text carefully and answer the questions that follow: [4]
The actinoids include the fourteen elements from Th to Lr. The actinoids are radioactive elements and the earlier
members have relatively long half-lives, the latter ones have half-life values ranging from a day to 3 minutes for
lawrencium. The latter members could be prepared only in nanogram quantities. Actinoids show a greater range
of oxidation states. The elements, in the first half of the series frequently exhibit higher oxidation states. The
actinoids resemble the lanthanoids in having more compounds in +3 state than in the +4 state. All the actinoids

are believed to have the electronic configuration of 7s2 and variable occupancy of the 5f and 6d subshells. The
magnetic properties of the actinoids are more complex than those of the lanthanoids. The variation in the
magnetic susceptibility of the actinoids with the number of unpaired 5f electrons is roughly parallel to the
corresponding results for the lanthanoid.

30. Read the following text carefully and answer the questions that follow: [4]
The boiling point elevation and the freezing point depression of solutions have a number of practical
applications. Ethylene glycol (CH2OH⋅ CH2OH) is used in automobile radiators as an antifreeze because it

lowers the freezing point of the coolant. The same substance also helps to prevent the radiator coolant from
boiling away by elevating the boiling point. Ethylene glycol has a low vapour pressure. We can also use glycerol
as an antifreeze. In order for boiling point elevation to occur, the solute must be non-volatile, but no such
restriction applies to freezing point depression. For example, methanol (CH3OH), a fairly volatile liquid that

boils only at 65oC is sometimes used as antifreeze in automobile radiators.

i. Out of the CH3OH and C6H12O6, which is a better reagent for depression in freezing point but not for

elevation in boiling point? (1)

ii. Will the depression in freezing point be same or different, if 0.1 moles of sugar or 0.1 moles of glucose is
dissolved in 1 L of water? (1)

alkali, fructose undergoes epimerization to form glucose and mannose.
14.
(c) A is true but R is false.
Explanation: Isobutanal does not give an iodoform test because it does not have the −COCH3 group.

15.
(c) A is true but R is false.
Explanation: A is true but R is false.
16.
(d) A is false but R is true.
Explanation:
Electron withdrawing groups such as -NO2, - CN, - X, increase the acidity. Greater the number of electron-withdrawing groups
more is the acidic character, i.e. 2, 4, 6-trinitrophenol is more acidic than 4-nitrophenol.
Section B
17. i. When one mole of CoCl3.6NH3 is mixed with AgNO3, three moles of AgCl are precipitated which indicates that three
ionisable chloride ions in the complex are present. Hence, its structural formula is [Co(NH3)6]Cl3.

Page 8 of 12
 ii. IUPAC name of the complex [Co(NH3)6]Cl3 is Hexa ammine cobalt (III) chloride.
18. The decrease in atomic and ionic size with increase in atomic number in lanthanoids is called lanthanoid contraction. Its
consequences are
(i) It causes the radii of the members of the third transition series to be very similar to those of the corresponding members of the
second series. The almost identical radii of Zr (160 pm) and Hf (159 pm), have almost similar sizes.
(ii) Difficulty in separation of lanthanoids.

Vol of water to be added to 20 ml = V 2 − V1 = 65 ml - 20 ml = 45 ml.

OR
If the force of attraction between A - B are different from A - A and B - B, there will be deviation from Raoult's law. As a result of
this difference in interaction, there will be difference in vapour pressure of the mixture of A and B compared to pure A and pure
B.

ii. The current will flow from silver to zinc in the external circuit and inside the solution, ions are responsible as shown in the
half cell reaction. Zn2+ is formed in the anode container and goes to the solution and in the cathode container, Ag+ goes from
solution to the silver metal(cathode) and gets deposited. To maintain the concentration of ions in both the containers, salt
bridge is used which contain an electrolyte i.e. KCl.

27. Haloarenes: The replacement of hydrogen atoms in a aromatic hydrocarbon by halogen atoms results in the formation of aryl
halide (haloarene). Haloarenes contain halogen atoms attached to sp2 hybridized carbon atoms of an aryl group. They are
classified as:
i. Nuclear halogen derivatives: Halogen derivatives of aromatic hydrocarbons in which the halogen atom (F, Cl , Br, or I) is
directly attached to an aromatic ring are called nuclear halogen derivatives. Some examples are:

It is prepared by the direct chlorination of aromatic hydrocarbon.

ii. Side chain halogen derivatives: Halogen derivatives of aromatic hydrocarbons in which the halogen atom is linked to one of
the carbon atoms of the side chain carrying the aryl group are called aryl halides. For example,

Section D
29. i. This is because of relatively poor shielding by 5f electrons in actinoids in comparison with shielding of 4f electrons in
lanthanoids.
ii. Actinoids have irregularities in the electronic configuration because of almost equal energy of 5f, 6d and 7s orbitals.
Therefore, there are some irregularities in the filling of 5f, 6d, and 7s orbitals. The electron may enter either of these orbitals.
iii. The structural variability in actinoids is obtained due to irregularities in metallic radii which are far greater than in lanthanoids.
OR
Magnetic properties of actinoid complexes are borne by 5f open shell orbitals. These orbitals have a marked inner shell
character, as in lanthanides, but interact more with the chemical environment than the 4f of lanthanides, leading to unique
magnetic properties.
30. i. CH3OH is a better reagent for depression in freezing point but not for elevation in boiling point.
ii. The depression in freezing point will be the same in both the solutions because both are non-electrolytes and gives the same
number of solutes.
iii. Glycol will be better than glycerol because it is more volatile than glycerol.
OR
The sequence of the economy to use these compounds as antifreeze is Methanol > Glycol > Glycerol.
Section E

(ii) Examples of reducing sugars - Maltose and Lactose.
(iii) i. A linkage between two monosaccharide units through oxygen atom.
ii. Protein having a unique three-dimensional structure and biological activity.
(iv)They store energy in the form of starch in plants.
(v) i. Peptide linkage: A linkage formed when two amino acids are joined through -CONH- bond.
Glycosidic linkage: When two monosaccharides are joined through oxygen atom.
ii. Nucleoside: Base + Sugar
Nucleotide: Base + Sugar + Phosphate
(vi)The 2 strands of DNA are attached to each other by hydrogen bonds that connect the nitrogenous bases of one strand to
the bases of the other strand (this is called complementary base pairing) where Adenine pairs with Thymine by 2
hydrogen bonds and Guanine pairs with Cytosine using 3 hydrogen bonds.
While nucleotides of DNA are held together by Phosphodiester linkages. The structure of DNA holds the nucleotides in
place using phosphodiester bonds. A phosphodiester bond occurs when exactly two of the hydroxyl group in phosphoric
acid react with hydroxyl groups on other molecules to form two ester bonds. The phosphodiester bond is the linkage
between the 3' carbon atom of one sugar molecule and the 5 ' carbon atom of another, deoxyribose in DNA.
(vii)D-glucose on reaction with NH2OH (hydroxylamine) yield glucose oxime.

32. 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. CN- is a weak field ligand and it does not cause the pairing of unpaired 3d electrons. Hence, [NICl4]2- is
paramagnetic.

In [Ni(CO)4] ,Ni is in the zero oxidation state i.e., it has a configuration of 3d84s2.

But CO is a strong field ligand. Therefore, it causes the pairing of unpaired 3d electrons. Also, it causes the 4s electrons to shift to
the 3d orbital, thereby giving rise to sp3hybridization. Since no unpaired electrons are present in this case, [Ni(CO)4] is
diamagnetic.
OR
CoSO4Cl.5NH3:
i. Isomer A reacts with AgNO3 but not with BaCl2, it shows that it has Cl ion outside the coordination sphere. Hence, A =
[CO(NH3)5SO4]CI

Isomer B reacts with BaCl2 but not with AgNO3, it shows that it has SO4- outside the coordination sphere
Hence, B = [CO(NH3)5Cl]SO4
ii. Type of isomerism - Ionization isomerism.
iii. IUPAC name of, A = Pentaamminesulphatocobalt (III) chloride and B = Pentaamminesulphatocobalt (III) sulphate.
33. i. Hofmann bromamide degradation reaction It is a method for the preparation of primary amines by treating an amide with
bromine in an aqueous or ethanolic solution of sodium hydroxide. The amines so formed contain one carbon less than that
present in the parent amide.
ii. Gattermann reaction When benzene diazonium chloride is treated with Cu/HCl Cu/HBr, chlorobenzene or bromobenzene is
obtained. This reaction is known as Gattermann reaction
iii. Coupllng reaction Arenediazonium salts react with highly reactive (i.e. electron rich) aromatic compounds such as aniline,
phenols to form brightly coloured azo compounds, Ar-N =N-Ar. This reaction is called coupling reaction. e.g. Benzene
diazonium chloride reacts with aniline in faintly acidic medium (pH 4- 5) at 273·278K, in which the molecule at its para-
position is coupled with the diazonium salt to form p-aminoazobenzene. This is an example of coupling reaction.
