5 Assertion : [Ti(H2O)6]3+ is coloured while [Sc(H2O)6]3+ is colourless. 1

Reason : d-d transition is not possible in [Sc(H2O)6]3+
 6 Assertion : CHCl3 is stored in dark bottles. 1
Reason : CHCl3 is oxidised in dark.
7 Assertion : With HI at 373 K,ter-butyl methyl ether gives ter-butyl iodide & 1
methanol.
Reason : The reaction occurs by SN2 mechanism.

SECTION B
Q. no. 8 to 11 are very short answer questions.

8 What is meant by unidentate, bidentate and ambidentate ligands? Give two 2

examples for each.

9
electrophilic substitution. Explain
10 The C-O bond is much shorter in phenol than in ethanol. Give reason 2

 SECTION E
Q. no. 15 is case – based – data – based questions with 2 to 3 short sub parts. Internal choice is
provided in one of these sub-parts.
15 Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: 4

A compound (X) containing C, H and O is unreactive towards sodium. It also does

not react with Schiff’s reagent. On refluxing with an excess of hydroiodic acid, (X)
yields only one organic product (Y). On hydrolysis, (Y) yields a new compound (Z)
which can be converted into (Y) by reaction with red phosphorous and iodine. The
compound (Z) on oxidation with potassium permanganate gives a carboxylic acid.
The equivalent weight of this acid is 60.

The following questions are multiple choice question. Choose the most
appropriate answer:
(i) The compound (X) is an
(a) acid (b) aldehyde (c) alcohol (d) ether

(ii)The IUPAC name of the acid formed is

(a) methanoic acid (b) ethanoic acid (c) propanoic acid (d) butanoic acid

iii) Compound (Y) is

(a) ethyl iodide (b) methyl iodide

(c) propyl iodide (d) mixture of (a) and (b)

iv) Compound (X) on treatment with excess of Cl2 in presence of light gives

(a) α-chlorodiethyl ether

(b) α, α’ -dichlorodiethyl ether

(c) perchlorodiethyl ether
