SECTION-D
Directions (Q. Nos. 29-30) : The following questions are case-based questions. Each question has an internal choice
and carries 4 marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

29. Colour may arise from a entirely different cause in ions with incomplete d or f shells. This source of
colours very important in most of the transition metal ions. In free isolated gaseous ion the five d orbitals
are degenerate, i.e. they are identical in energy. In real life situations, the ion will be surrounded by solvent
molecules if it is in solution; by other ligands if it is in a complex; or by other ions if it is in crystal lattice.
The surrounding groups affect the energy of some orbitals more than others. Thus the d orbitals are no
longer degenerate, and they form two groups of orbitals of different energies. Thus in transition element
ions with a partly filled d shell, it is possible to promote electrons from d level to another d level of higher
energy. The corresponds to a fairly small energy difference and so light is absorbed in the visible region.
The colour of a transition meltal complex is dependent on how big the energy difference is between the
two d levels. This in turn depends 2+ on the nature of the ligand, and on the type of complex formed. Thus
the octahedral complex [Ni(NH ) ] is blue, [Ni(H O) ]2+ is green and [Ni(NO ) ]4- is brown-red. The
3 6 2 6 2 6
colour changes with the ligand,used the colour also depends on the Number of ligands and the shape of
the complex formed.

(a) Account for the following : Copper(I) compounds are white whereas copper(II) compounds are
coloured.
(b) Cu2+ salts are coloured, while Zn2+ salts ire white.
(c) Which of following cations are coloured in aqueous solutions and why ?
Sc3+, V3+, Ti4+, Mn2+
(At. nos..Sc = 21, V = 23, Ti = 22, Mn = 25)
OR
(d) How would you account for the following : Transition metals form coloured compounds ?

30. Amines are alkyl or aryl derivatives of ammonia formed by replacement of one or more hydrogen atoms.
Allcyl 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 undergoes electrophilic 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.
Read the above passage and answer the following question:
(a) What does oxidation of aniline in presence of MnO2 and H2SO4 produce ?
(b) How will you distinguish cyclohexylamine and aniline ?
(c) What is the major product obtained by acetylation of aniline followed by nitration (conc. HNO3 +
conc. H2SO4) and then alkaline hydrolysis ?
