SECTION D

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.

29. Read the following passage to answer the questions:

The attractive force which holds the two atoms together is called a chemical bond. A covalent bond is
formed by an equal sharing of electrons. A coordinate bond is formed by unequal sharing of
electrons. An ionic bond is formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another. Octet rule,
although very useful but is not universally applicable. According to valence bond theory, a covalent
bond is formed by overlapping of half-filled atomic orbitals resulting in a lowering of energy and
more stability. Bond order is the number of bonds between atoms in a molecule. The higher the bond
order more will be stability and bond dissociation enthalpy but the smaller the bond length. The
polarity of a covalent bond depends upon the difference in electronegativity. The covalent character
of a bond depends upon polarising power, smaller cation and bigger anions have higher polarising
power. VSEPR theory helps to predict the shapes of molecules.

(a) Write the electron dot structure of N2O.

OR

(c) Explain why SO2 is polar and CO2 is non polar with the help of their structure (drawn using
VSEPR theory).

30. Read the following passage to answer the questions:

In the detection of elements by Lassaigne’s test, the covalent compounds are converted into
ionic compounds on fusion with sodium metal. Cyanide, sulphide and halide of sodium so formed
on sodium fusion are extracted from the fused mass by boiling it with distilled water. This extract is
known as sodium fusion extract. In this Prussian blue colouration is obtained when only nitrogen is
present whereas blood red colour is obtained when both nitrogen and sulphur are present. If sodium
fusion is carried out with excess sodium, the thiocyanate decomposes to yield cyanide and sulphide.
Phosphorus is detected in the organic compound by fusing it with sodium peroxide. When sodium
phosphate is formed it is detected with conc. HNO3 and ammonium molybdate. Nitrogen is
quantitatively estimated either by Kjeldahl or by Duma’s method.
