Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
Amines are alkyl or aryl derivatives of ammonia formed by replacement of one or more hydrogen atoms. Alkyl derivatives are called aliphatic amines and aryl derivatives are known as aromatic amines. The presence of aromatic amines can be identified by performing dye test. Aniline is the simplest example of aromatic amine. It undergoeselectrophilic substitution reactions in which -NH2 group strongly activates the aromatic ring through delocalisation of lone pair of electrons of N-atom. Aniline undergoes electrophilic substitution reactions. Ortho and para positions to the -NH2 group become centres of high electrons density. Thus, -NH2 group is ortho and para-directing and powerful activating group.

Aldehydes and ketones undergo nucleophilic addition reactions.

Carbonyl carbon is electron deficient hence acts as an electrophi le. Nucleophile attacks on the electrophili c carbon atom of the carbonyl group from a direction perpendicular to the plane of the molecule.

ln this process, hybridisation of carbon atom changes from sp2 to sp3 and a tetrahedral alkoxide ion is formed as intermediate. This intermediate captures proton from the reaction medium to give the neutral product. Aldehydes are generally more reactive than ketones in nucleophilic addition reactions.

To explain bonding in coordination compounds various theories were proposed. One of the important theory was valence bond theory. According to that, the central metal ion in the complex makes available a number of empty orbitals for the formation of coordination bonds with suitable ligands. The appropriate atomic orbitals of the metal hybridise to give a set of equivalent orbitals of definite geometry.
The d-orbitals involved in the hybridisation may be either inner d-orbitals i.e., (n - 1)d or outer d-orbitals i.e., nd. For example, Co3+ forms both inner orbital and outer orbital complexes, with ammonia it forms [Co(NH3)6]3+ and with fluorine it forms [CoF6]3- complex ion.

There are several ways to express the amount of solute present in a solution.

The sequence of bases along the DNA and RNA chain establishes its primary structure which controls the specific properties of the nucleic acid. An RNA molecule is usually a single chain ofribose-containing nucleotide. On the basis of X-ray analysis of DNA, J.D., Watson and EH.C. crick (shared noble prize in 1962) proposed a three dimensional secondary structure for DNA. DNA molecule is a long and highly complex, spirally twisted, double helix, ladder like structure. The two polynucleotide chains or strands are linked up by hydrogen bonding between the nitrogeneous base molecules of their nucleotide monomers. Adenine (purine) always links with thymine (pyrimidine) with the help of two hydrogen bonds and guanine (purine) with cytosine (pyrimidine) with the help of three hydrogen bonds. Hence, the two strands extend in opposite directions, i.e., are antiparallel and complimentary.

Proteins are high molecular mass complex biomolecules of amino acids. The important proteins required for our body are enzymes, hormones, antibodies, transport proteins, structural proteins, contractile proteins etc. Except for glycine, all $\alpha$-amino acids have chiral carbon atom and most of them have L-configuration. The amino acids exists as dipolar ion called zwitter ion, in which a proton goes from the carboxyl group to the amino group. A large number of $\alpha$-amino acids are joined by peptide bonds forming polypeptides. The peptides having very large molecular mass (more than 10,000) are called proteins. The structure of proteins is described as primary structure giving sequence of linking of amino acids; secondary structure giving manner in which polypeptide chains are arranged and folded; tertiary structure giving folding, coiling or bonding polypeptide chains producing three dimensional structures and quaternary structure giving arrangement of sub-units in an aggregate protein molecule.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:

Amines are basic in nature. The basic strength of amines can be expressed by their dissociation constant, Kb or pKb.

$\text{RNH}_2+\text{H}_2\text{O}\rightleftharpoons\text{RNH}^+_3+\text{OH}^-$

$\text{k}_\text{b}=\frac{[\text{RNH}^+_3][\text{OH}^-]}{[\text{RNH}_2]}\text{and}\text{ pk}_\text{b}=-\log\text{k}_\text{b}$

Greater the Kb value or smaller the pKb value, more is the basic strength of a mine. Aryl amines such as aniline are less basic than aliphatic amines due to the involvement of lone pair of electrons on N-atom with the resonance in benzene. In derivatives of aniline, the electron releasing groups increase the basic strength while electron withdrawing groups decrease the basic strength. The base weakening effect of electron withdrawing group and base strengthening effect of electron releasing group is more marked at p-position than at m-position. a-Substituted aniline is less basic than aniline due to ortho effect and is probable due to combination of electronic and steric effect.

  3. In ethylamine there is no resonance while in acetamide the lone pair of electrons on N-atom is delocalised and is less available for protonation.
  4. None of these.
