Question 14:

Metals form complexes with various Lewis bases. The Lewis bases that bind with
metals are called ligands. The stability of complexes is dependent upon the basic
character of ligand attached to central metal atom. More the basic character, higher
is the stability or better is the complex. Lewis bases or ligands have tendency to
lose electrons, which decreases with an increase in electronegativity of donor
atoms in a period. Stability of complex is directly proportional to the bond order of
metal ligand, i.e. higher the bond order, greater is the stability of complex.
Geometry and symmetry also influence the stability of complex. More the
symmetricity of the complexes, more is the stability.

a.

Question 16:

All three types of amines, aliphatic as well as aromatic, react with nitrous acid
under different conditions to form variety of products. Since nitrous acid is highly
unstable, it is prepared in situ by the action of dilute HCl on sodium nitrate.
Primary amines react with nitrous acid at low temperature to form primary alcohol
and nitrogen gas accompanied by brisk effervescence. Aliphatic primary amines
also react with nitrous acid to form alkyl diazoniu salts, but it is quite unstable.
Therefore, mixture of alcohol, alkene and alkyl halides are formed as products.
Certain cyclic primary amines can undergo either ring expansion or contraction
reaction on treatment with nitrous acid. This is called Demjanov ring expansion or
contraction. For example:
