reaction for C6H5Cl will be very difficult due to partial double bond nature of carbon chlorine bond.

Ans. 10. Associated colloids (Micelles): There are some substances which at low concentrations behave as normal
strong electrolytes, but at higher concentrations exhibit colloidal behaviour due to the formation of
aggregates. The aggregated particles thus formed are called micelles. These are also known as
associated colloids. [1]
Mechanism of micelle formation
Let us take the example of soap solutions. Soap is sodium or potassium salt of a higher fatty acid and
may be represented as RCOO–Na+ (e.g., sodium stearate CH3(CH2)16COO–Na+, which is a major
component of many bar soaps). When dissolved in water, it dissociates into RCOO – and Na+ ions. The
RCOO– ions, however, consist of two parts - a long hydrocarbon chain R (also called non-polar tail') which
is hydrophobic (water repelling), and a polar group COO– (also called polar-ionic 'head'), which is
hydrophilic (water loving).
The RCOO– ions are, therefore, present on the surface with their COO – groups in water and the
hydrocarbon chains R staying away from it and remain at the surface. But at critical micelle concentration,
the anions are pulled into the bulk of the solution and aggregate to form a spherical shape with their
hydrocarbon chains pointing towards the centre of the sphere with COO – part remaining outward on the
surface of the sphere. An aggregate thus formed is known as, ionic micelle'. These micelles may contain
as many as 100 such ions. [2]

( a) Zn, Cd and Hg are not called typical transition elements because they have completely filled (n-1)d
orbital in their atomic or most stable ionic state. [1]

( b) Mn show minimum heat of atomisation among 3d series transition elements since it forms weakest
metallic bond due to half-filled stable electronic configuration of 3d subshell. [1]

(c) [Ni(dmg)2] provides more stability than [Ni(en)2] despite having same number of bidentate due to
symmetric intramolecular hydrogen bonding. [1]

(c) NH3, (CH3)3N, CH3NH2, (CH3)2NH [1]
Ans. 2. CH3COOH is a weak electrolyte hence has a low degree of dissociation at higher concentration. On dilution
its degree of dissociation increases so total number of ions in solution containing 1 mole of electrolyte also
increases hence m increases steeply for CH3COOH on dilution. [½ + ½]
KCl is a strong electrolyte so on dilution number of ions increases marginally so m increases slowly upon
dilution

[1]
Ans. 3. (a) Benzoic acid does not undergo Friedel-Craft reaction because the –COOH group is deactivating and
the catalyst AlCl3 (Lewis acid) get bonded to the carboxyl group. [1]
(b) The acidity of -H atoms of acetaldehyde is due to the strong electron withdrawing effect of the
carbonyl group and resonance stabilisation of the conjugate base. [1]

Ans. 4. (a) In strong acidic medium, aniline is protonated to form the anilinium ion which is meta directing. That
is why during nitration of aniline besides the ortho and para derivatives, significant amount of meta
derivative is also formed. [1]

( b) Ethylamine is soluble in water because it can form hydrogen bond with water molecules. However,
aniline is insoluble in water due to higher molar mass which increase in the size of hydrophobic aryl
part. [1]
(c) The carbon atom of carbonyl group of benzaldehyde is less electrophilic than carbon atom of carbonyl
group present in propanal due to the resonance effect, so benzaldehyde is less reactive towards
electrophilic addition reaction than propanal. [1]

orbital is in the t2g level in ground state of the complex. The next higher state available for the electron
is the empty eg level. If light corresponding to the energy of blue-green region is absorbed by the
complex, it would excite the electron from t 2g level to eg level t 1 0

complex appears violet in colour. [1]

Ans. 6. (a) The transition metals form a large number of complex compounds due to the comparatively smaller
sizes of the metal ions, their high ionic charges and the availability of d-orbitals for bond formation.
[1]
( b) Zn has full d10 configuration in its ground state as well as in its common oxidation state +2, hence it
is not regarded as transition metal. [1]
(c) The high melting point of transition metals are due to the involvement of greater number of electrons
from (n-1)d in the addition to ns electrons in the interatomic metallic bonding. [1]
Ans. 7. • Since compound C9H10O forms 2,4-DNP derivative and reduces Tollen’s reagent so it should be an
aldehyde.
• Since compound C9H10O undergoes Cannizaro reaction so it should not have any - H atom.
• Since on vigorous oxidation compound C9H10O gives 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid so it should be
