Section D
29. Read the following text carefully and answer the questions that follow: [4]
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 with the other 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 raw mango placed in concentrated salt solution loses water via osmosis and shrivel into pickle. Wilted flowers
revive when placed in fresh water. A carrot that has become limp because of water loss into the atmosphere can
be placed into the water making it firm once again. Water will move into its cells through osmosis. When placed
in water containing less than 0.9% (mass/volume) salt, blood cells swell due to flow of water in them by
osmosis.

solution side? Write its one application.
