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.

31. Benzene ring in aniline is highly activated. This is due to the sharing of lone pair of nitrogen
with the ring which results in increase in the electron density on the ring and hence facilitates
the electrophilic attack. The substitution mainly takes place at Ortho and para positions
because electron density is more at Ortho and para positions. On reaction with aqueous
bromine all the ortho and para position get substituted resulting in the formation of 2,4,6-
tribromoaniline. To get a monobromo compound, the amino group is acetylated before
bromination. After bromination, the bromoacetanilide is acid hydrolysed to give the desired
halogenated amine.
a) Why does -NH2 group facilitates electrophilic attack in aniline?
b) Explain why: in aniline, the substitution mainly takes place at Ortho and Para positions.
c) Show the conversion of benzene into aniline.

32. In amines the N atoms of the amino group are SP3 hybridised. Amines readily lose its
electron pair and act as a base. In aliphatic amines ,the alkyl group tends to increase the
electron density on the nitrogen atom due to the +I effect. In aromatic amines, the basic
strengths are influenced by the presence of an electron withdrawing group at the O-, m- and p-
position in the ring.
a) Lower member of aliphatic amines are soluble in water . Why?
b) Out of (CH3)3N and and (CH3)2NH which one is more basic in aqueous solution?

carries 4 (1+1+2) marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
31. Molar conductivity for weak electrolytes can be obtained from molar conductivities of strong
electrolytes at infinite dilution by doing algebraic addition. For example ,molar conductivity of weak

32. The standard electrode potentials are very important and we can extract a lot of useful information
from them. If the standard electrode potential of an electrode is greater than Zero then it’s reduced
form is more stable compared to hydrogen gas. Similarly, if the standard electrode potential is
negative than hydrogen gas is more stable than the reduced form of the species. It can be seen that
the standard electrode potential for Fluorine is the highest indicating that F 2 gas has the maximum
tendency to get reduced to Fluoride ion F- and therefore Fluorine gas is the strongest oxidizing agent
and Fluoride ion is the weakest reducing agent.

Factors affecting the stability of a complex ion
(i) Nature of metal ion: The greater the charge and the smaller the ion's size, the
higher its charge density, and the greater the complex's stability.

4|Page
(ii) Nature of ligand: The more the basicity of the ligand, the more its tendency to
donate electron pair and therefore, more the stability of the complex.

(i) the oxidation number of iron,
(ii) the hybrid orbitals and the shape of the complex,

(i) [Fe(en)2Cl2] Cl or x + 0 + 2 (-1) + (-1) = 0

x + (- 3) = 0 or x = + 3
∴ Oxidation number of iron, x = + 3

(ii) The complex has two bidentate ligands and two monodentate ligands. Therefore,
the coordination number is 6 and hybridization will be d2sp3 and shape will be
octahedral.

16 Explain the following terms giving a suitable example in each case :

(i) Ambidentate ligand
(ii) Denticity of a ligand
(iii) Crystal field splitting in an octahedral field (All India 2011)

(i) Ambidentate ligand: The monodentate ligands with more than one coordinating
atoms is known as ambidentate ligand. Monodentate ligands have only one atom
capable of binding to a central metal atom or ion. For example, the nitrate ion NO2– can
bind to the central metal atom/ion at either the nitrogen atom or one of the oxygen
atoms.
Example :
— SCN thiocyanato - S, — NCS thiocyanato-N

5|Page
(ii) Denticity of a ligand: The number of donor atoms in a ligand that forms a
coordinate bond with the central metal atom is called denticity of a ligand.
Example: If the donor atom is one then it is called a Monodentate ligand, if it is two,
then it is called Bidentate, and so on.

(iii) Crystal field splitting: It is the splitting of the degenerate energy levels due to the
presence of ligands. When a ligand approaches a transition metal ion, the degenerate d-
orbitals split into two sets, one with lower energy and the other with higher energy.
This is known as crystal field splitting and the difference between the lower energy set
and the higher energy set is known as crystal field splitting energy (CFSE)

17 State a reason for each of the following situations : 1 each

(i) Co2+ is easily oxidized to Co3+ in the presence of a strong ligand.
(ii) CO is a stronger complexing reagent than NH3.
(iii) The molecular shape of [Ni(CO)4] is not the
same as that of [Ni(CN)4]2- (Delhi 2011)

(i) Because in the presence of strong ligands, the crystal field splitting energy is more
than the energy required to oxidise Co2+.

(ii) This is due to the formation of π – bond by back donation of electrons from metal
to carbon of CO or due to synergic bonding.

(iii) CO is a stronger field ligand than CN.

Ni is in zero oxidation state in Ni(CO)4 and has tetrahedral geometry.
But, Ni is in +2 oxidation state in [Ni(CN)4]2- and has dsp2 hybridization
(different geometry than tetrahedral sp3).

 In tetrahedral coordination entity formation, the d orbital splitting is inverted marks
and is smaller than the octahedral field splitting.

6|Page
 For the same metal, the same ligands, and metal-ligand distances, it can be
shown that:

 Consequently, the orbital splitting energies are not sufficiently large for forcing
pairing; therefore, low spin configurations are rarely observed.

 The ‘g’ subscript is used for the octahedral and square planar complexes
which have the center of symmetry. Since tetrahedral complexes lack
symmetry, the ‘g’ subscript is not used with energy levels.
