SECTION - D

The following questions are case-based questions. Read the case carefully
and answer the questions that follow :
29. The oxidation number of the central atom in a complex is defined as the
charge it would carry if all the ligands are removed along with the
electron pairs that are shared with the central atom. Similarly the charge
on the complex is the sum of the charges of the constituent parts i.e. the
sum of the charges on the central metal ion and its surrounding ligands.
Based on this, the complex is called neutral if the sum of the charges of
the constituents is equal to zero. However, for an anion or cationic
complex, the sum of the charges of the constituents is equal to the charge
on the coordination sphere.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions :
1
(a) What is the secondary valence of Co in [Co(NH),Cl,t? 1

(b) What type of isomerism is shown by the complex (Cr(H,0)lCI, and

30. Certain organic compounds are required in small amounts in our diet but
their deficiency causes specific disease. These compounds are called
vitamins. Most of the vitamins cannot be synthesized in our body but
plants can synthesize almost all of them. So they are considered as
essential food factors. However, the bacteria of the gut can produce some
of the vitamins required by us. All the vitamins are generally available in
our diet. The term vitamin' was coined from the words vital + amine,
since the earlier identified compounds had amino group. Vitamins are
classified into two groups depending upon their solubility in water or fat
namely-fat soluble vitamins and water soluble vitamins.
