Question
Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: For understanding the structure and bonding in transition metal complexes, the magnetic properties are very helpful. Low spin complexes are generally diamagnetic because of pairing of electrons, whereas high spin complexes are usually paramagnetic because of presence of unpaired electrons. Larger the number of unpaired electrons, stronger will be the paramagnetism. However magnetic behaviour of a complex can be confirmed from magnetic moment measurement. Magnetic moment $\mu=\sqrt{\text{n(n+2)}}\text{B.M.}$ where $n =$ number of unpaired electrons. Greater the number of unpaired electrons, more will be the magnetic moment. In these questions $(Q$. No. $i-iv),$ a statement of assertion followed by a statement ofreason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.
  1. Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.
  2. Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.
  3. Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.

  1. Assertion : $\ce{ [Fe(H_2O)_5NO]SO_4}$ is paramagnetic.
Reason : The $Fe$ in $\ce{[Fe(H_2O)_5NO]SO_4}$ has three unpaired electrons.
  1. Assertion : $\ce{[Co(en)_3]^{3+}}$ is paramagnetic.
Reason : It is an inner orbital complex.
  1. Assertion : $\ce{[Ni(CO)_4]}$ is diamagnetic and tetrahedral in shape.
Reason : $ \ce{[Ni(CO)_4]} $ contains no unpaired electrons and involves $\text{dsp}^2$ hybridisation.
  1. Assertion : $\ce{[Ni(CN)_4]^{2-}​​​​​​​}$ is diamagnetic complex.
Reason : It involves $\text{dsp}^2$ hybridisation and there is no unpaired electron.

Answer

  1. $(a)$ Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.
Spinonlymagneticmoment, $\mu=\sqrt{\text{n(n+2)}}$ where $n =$ number of unpaired electrons.
As the number of unpaired electrons in $\ce{Cr^{2+}[(Ar)3d^{4]}}$ and $\ce{Fe^{2+}[(Ar)3d^6]}$ are same,
Hence $\ce{[Cr(H_2O)_6]^{2+}}$ and $\ce{[Fe(H_2O)_6]^{2+}}$ will have same magnetic moment.
  1. $(a)$ Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.
$\ce{Fe^+: (Ar)3d^74s^0}$
When the weak field ligand $\ce{H_2O}$ and strong field ligand $\ce{NO^}+$ attack, the configuration changes as follows: $\ce{Fe^+: (Ar)3d^74s^0}$

$\therefore Fe^{2+}$ has $3$ unpaired electrons.​​​​​​​
  1. $(d)$ Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.

In presence of strong ethylenediamine ligand the electrons get paired.

Thus inner orbital complex with no unpaired electrons.
  1. $(c)$ Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
$\ce{[Ni(CO)_4]}$ contains $Ni(O).$​​​​​​​

$CO$ is strong ligand thus,
  1. $(a)$ Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
When a solution of an et$-$amino acid is placed in an electric field depending on the $pH$ of the medium, following three cases may happen.
  1. In alkaline solution, $CL-$amino acids exist as anion $II,$ and there is a net migration of amino acid towards the anode.
  2. In acidic solution, a$-$amino acids exist as cation $III,$ and there is a net migration of amino acid towards the cathode.
  3. If $II$ and $III$ are exactly balanced there is no net migration; under such conditions any one molecule exists as a positive ion and as a negative ion for exactly the same amount of time, and any small movement in the direction of one electrode is subsequently cancelled by an equal movement back toward the other electrode. The $pH$ of the solution in which a particular amino acid does not migrate under the influence of an electric field is called the is oelectric point of that amino acid.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: Carbohydrates are polyhydroxy aldehydes and ketones and those compounds which on hydrolysis give such compounds are also carbohydrates. The carbohydrates which are not hydrolysed are called monosaccharides. Monosaccharides with aldehydic group are called aldose and those which free ketonic groups are called ketose. Carbohydrates are optically active. Number of optical isomers $= 2^n$ Where $n =$ numberofasymmetric carbons. Carbohydrates are mainlysynthesised by plants during photosynthesis. The monosaccharides give the characteristic reactions of alcohols and carbonyl group $($aldehydes and ketones$).$ It has been found that these monosaccharides exist in the form of cyclic structures. In cyctization, the $-OH$ groups $($generally $C_5$ or $C_4$ in aldohexoses and $C_5$ or $C_6$ in ketohexoses$)$ combine with the aldehyde or keto group.
