Case Study
Read the passage given below and answer the following questions 53-55
Early crystallographers had trouble solving the structures of inorganic solids using X-ray diffraction because some
of the mathematical tools for analysing the data had not yet been developed. Once a trial structure was proposed,
it was relatively easy to calculate the diffraction pattern, but it was difficult to go the other way (from the
diffraction pattern to the structure) if nothing was known a priori about the arrangement of atoms in the unit cell.
It was important to develop some guidelines for guessing the coordination numbers and bonding geometries of
atoms in crystals. The first such rules were proposed by Linus Pauling, who considered how one might pack
together oppositely charged spheres of different radii. Pauling proposed from geometric considerations that the
quality of the "fit" depended on the radius ratio of the anion and the cation.
If the anion is considered as the packing atom in the crystal, then the smaller cation fills interstitial sites ("holes").
Cations will find arrangements in which they can contact the largest number of anions. If the cation can touch all
of its nearest neighbour anions then the fit is good. If the cation is too small for a given site, that coordination
number will be unstable and it will prefer a lower coordination structure. The table below gives the ranges of
cation/anion radius ratios that give the best fit for a given coordination geometry.
Coordination number Geometry r= rcation/ranion
2 linear 0 - 0·155
3 triangular 0·155 - 0·225
4 tetrahedral 0·225 - 0·414
4 square planar 0·414 - 0·732
6 octahedral 0·414 - 0·732
8 cubic 0·732 - 1·0
12 cuboctahedral 1·0

HINTS AND SOLUTIONS

SECTION – A
1. (d) N–N bond is weaker than P-P bond.
Other statements are incorrect as Phosphorus has a higher melting point due to bigger size than Nitrogen.
Nitrogen is inert due to the presence of triple bond and has a lower covalence due to non-availability of
d–orbitals.
2. (c) Metal deficiency defect (cation is missing from lattice site) is a non-stoichiometric defect.
3. (b) Raoult’s law
4. (c) Pink colour of LiCl is due to metal excess defect (formation of F centres).
5. (c) Para isomers are more symmetrical than ortho and meta, so 1, 4-dichlorobenzene has highest melting point.
6. (d) Existence of alpha and beta forms of glucose (anomers) cannot be explained by open chain structure. These
are explained by ring structure.
7. (c) SN2 reaction (alkoxide ion reacts with primary alkyl halide in a single step to form ether).
8. (b) Cl2(g) +H2O (l) ®HCl(g) +HOCl(aq)

13. (a) Alcohols form intermolecular hydrogen bonds, so their b.p. are higher than hydrocarbons (weak van der
Waal’s forces).
14. (b) H2S (boiling point increases down the group but water forms strong hydrogen bonds, so it has higher boiling
point than H2S)
15. (d) pH does not affect the primary structure of protein (pH effects the secondary and tertiary structure).

with rise in temperature).
20. (a) Nitrogen
21. (c) Glycogen (a polymer of glucose) is a polysaccharide.
22. (d) Helium

existing hydrogen bonds.

phosphodiester linkage is found in nucleic acids so also in DNA, and Uracil is nitrogenous base found in RNA
which is a nucleic acid.
51. (d) Helium : meteorological observations :: Argon: metallurgical processes
Nitrogen : 1s22s22p3 :: Argon :1s22s22p6 is configuration of neon, not argon.
Carbon : maximum compounds :: Xenon: no compounds; This is wrong as Xenon forms compounds
XeF2 : Linear :: ClF3 : Trigonal planar, ClF3 is T-shaped, not trigonal planar
52. (a) A : Isomers, B : Enantiomer
Isomers have same molecular formula but different structure
Enantiomers are Non superimposable mirror images.
53. (c) 6
Radius ratio = rcation/ranion = 126/ 216 = 0·58
Radius ratio lies in the range 0·414 - 0·732, so it has coordination number 6 or 4 according to the table.
Since none of the options is 4, so the answer is 6.
54. (d) 290 pm
Square planar means radius ratio is between 0·414 and 0·732.
If radius of cation is 120 pm then anion should be in the range r = rcation/ranion
0·414 = 120/x so x = 289·8 = 290 pm
0·732 = 120/x so x = 163·9 = 164 pm
55. (a) all of its nearest neighbour anions.

Case Study
Phenols and alcohols have both the same functional group (—OH) but phenols are stronger acids than alcohols. This is mainly
due to the reason that the phenoxide ion left after the release of H+ ion in phenol is resonance stabilised while the alkoxide
ion in alcohols does not show similar characteristics. The electron withdrawing groups tend to increase the acidic strengths
of phenols while electron releasing groups tend to decrease it. The effect of both types of groups is more pronounced when
present at the para position than when these are present at the ortho position in the ring. However, their effect at the meta
position is relatively very small.

Case Study
Osmosis plays a primary role in biological systems. Osmosis is a physicochemical process, in which the concentration
difference between two solutions creates pressure difference (osmotic pressure) across a separating semipermeable mem-
brane. Solvent transport takes place from the more diluted solution to that of higher concentration, until equilibrium is
reached. Van’t Hoff was the first to propose the formula for the osmotic pressure as Posm = CRT. For electrolyte solutions,
Van’t Hoff factor ‘i’ has to be taken into consideration.
