SECTION B

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
Haloalkanes are reactive towards nucleophiles. They are polar molecules:
The carbon to which the halogen is attached is slightly electropositive where
the halogen is slightly electronegative. This results in an electron deficient
carbon which, inevitably, attracts nucleophiles. Substitution reactions
involve the replacement of the halogen with another molecule-thus leaving
saturated hydrocarbons, as well as the halogenated product. Chloro- and
bromoalkanes are readily substituted by iodide in the Finkelstein reaction.
The iodoalkanes produced easily undergo further reaction. Sodium iodide is
used thus as a catalyst.
In these questions (Q.No.24-27), a statement of assertion followed by a
statement of reason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the
following choices.
(A)Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct
explanation for assertion.
(B) Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is not
correct explanation for assertion.
(C) Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
(D) Assertion and reason both are wrong statements.
24. Assertion: Carbon-halogen bond in aryl halide has partial double 1
Bond character.
Reason: Aryl halides undergo nucleophilic substitution easily.

25. Assertion: Free radical chlorination of 2-Methyl pentane gives 1

five monochloro structural isomers.
Reason: In 2-Methyl pentane there are five different types of
hydrogen atoms.

26. Assertion: Phosphorus chlorides (tri and penta) are preferred over 1
thionyl chloride for the preparation of alkyl chlorides
from alcohols.
Reason: Phosphorus chlorides give pure alkyl chlorides.

27. Assertion: Alkyl iodide can be prepared by treating 1

alkyl chloride/bromide with NaI in acetone.
Reason: NaCl and NaBr are soluble in acetone but NaI is not.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
In hexagonal systems of crystals, a frequently encountered arrangement of
atoms is described as hexagonal prism. Here, the top and bottom of the cells
are regular hexagons and three atoms are sandwiched between them. A
space-filling model of this structure called hexagonal close-packed (hcp) , is
constituted of a sphere and a flat surface surrounded in the same plane by
six identical spheres as closely as possible. A second layer is then placed
above the first in triangular voids with apex pointing upwards or
downwards, but the spheres of the second layer cannot be placed
simultaneously in both types of voids. This generates two types of voids,
tetrahedral and octahedral. The third layer is then placed over tetrahedral
voids to generate a pattern similar to that of first layer. Assume radius of
every sphere be ‘R’.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
Alcohols are versatile compounds. They behave both as electrophiles and
nucleophiles. They behave as nucleophiles in the reactions which the bond
between O-H is broken. They behave as electrophiles in which the bond
between C-O is broken. These reactions are carried out in the presence of
acids to form protonated alcohols. Protonated alcohols react as electrophiles.
On the basis of cleavage of different bonds, the reactions of alcohols may be
divided into following types:
I. Reactions involving cleavage of oxygen-hydrogen bond.
II. Reactions involving cleavage of carbon-oxygen bond.
III. Reactions involving both the alkyl and hydroxyl groups.
