The f-block elements are those in which the differentiating electrons enters the (n-2)f
orbitals. There are two series of f-Block elements corresponding to filling of 4f and 5f-
orbitals. The series of 4f-orbitals is called lanthanides. Lanthanides show different oxidation
states depending upon stability of f 0, f7 and f14 configurations, though the most common
oxidation states is +3. There is a regular decrease in the size of lanthanides ions with
increase in atomic number which is known as lanthanides contraction.

There is Case Study Questions in class 12 Chemistry in session 2020-21. For the first time,
the board has introduced the case study questions in the board exam. The first two
questions in the board exam question paper will be based on Case Study and Assertion &
Reason. The first question will have 5 MCQs out of which students will have to attempt any
4 questions. The second question will carry 5 Assertion & Reason type questions with the
choice to attempt any four. Here are the questions based on case study.

Case Study Question 1:

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:

The half-life of a reaction is the time required for the concentration of reactant to decrease
by half, i.e.,

[A]t = [A]/2

For first order reaction,

t1/2 = 0.693/k

this means t1/2 is independent of initial concentration. Figure shows that typical variation of
concentration of reactant exhibiting first order kinetics. It may be noted that though the
major portion of the first order kinetics may be over in a finite time, but the reaction will
never cease as the concentration of reactant will be zero only at infinite time.

All chemical reactions involve interaction of atoms and molecules. A large number of
atoms/molecules are present in a few gram of any chemical compound varying with their
atomic/molecular masses. To handle such large number conveniently, the mole concept was
introduced. All electrochemical cell reactions are also based on mole concept. For example,
a 4.0 molar aqueous solution of NaCl is prepared and 500 mL of this solution is electrolysed.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:

When a protein in its native form, is subjected to physical changes like change in
temperature or chemical changes like change in pH, the hydrogen bonds are disturbed. Due
to this, globules unfold and helix get uncoiled and protein loses its biological activity. This is
called denaturation of protein.

The denaturation causes change in secondary and tertiary structures but primary structures
remains intact.

formation of cheese when an acid is added to milk.

Nucleophilic substitution reactions are of two types; substitution nucleophilic bimolecular

(SN2) and substitution nucleophilic unimolecular (S N1) depending on molecules taking part in
determining the rate of reaction. Reactivity of alkyl halide towards S N1 and SN2 reactions
depends on various factors such as steric hindrance, stability of intermediate or transition
state and polarity of solvent. SN2 reaction mechanism is favoured mostly by primary alkyl
halide or transition state and polarity of solvent, SN2 reaction mechanism is favoured mostly
by primary alkyl halide then secondary and then tertiary. This order is reversed in case of
SN1 reactions.
