stronger acid than trichloroacetic acid followed by acetic acid. Thus,
the ionization follows the order:

a) In the presence of nitrating mixture HNO3 +H 2SO 4 , aniline gets
protonated to form anilinium ion, which is a meta directing group, thus giving
substantial amount of m - nitroaniline.
(1)
b) In aniline, lone pair of electrons on N- atom is delocalised over benzene
ring. Thus, lowering its basic strength. Hence, its Kb value will be lower and
pKb value will be higher. On the other hand, +I effect of -CH 3 group,
increases the electron density on N - atom in CH 3 NH 2 making it a stronger
base. Hence, its Kb value will be higher and pKb value will be lower.

(a) Primary amines (RNH2) have two hydrogen atoms on nitrogen atom and
therefore form hydrogen bonding. Tertiary amines (R3N) do not have
hydrogen atoms on nitrogen atom and therefore do not form hydrogen
bonding. As a result of hydrogen bonding in primary amines, primary amines
have a higher boiling point than tertiary amines.

a) SO 2 +2OH SO 4 + 2H +2e

Addition of acid, increases H ion concentration. This leads to

backward shifting of the reaction. Thus, SO 2 fails to serve as a
+

reducing agent in acidic medium. In alkaline medium, OH - removes H+

& shifts the reaction in the forward direction.
(1)
b) This is because of higher electronegativity of F compared to O. In
compounds of O & F, F has a negative oxidation state, thus
compounds are called fluorides.

(a) NH3 contains a lone pair of electrons which coordinate with metal
ion to form complex compound. However, in NH 4+ ion, the lone pair is
bound to H+ and therefore, is not available for bonding to metal ion.
Therefore, NH4+ does not form complexes readily.

a) For chromium, +III oxidation state (3d3) is more stable as
compared to +II state (3d4). Therefore, Cr2+ readily change into Cr3+
and behaves as a strong reducing agent. On the other hand, for
manganese, +II state is more stable than +III state. Hence, Mn3+
(3d4) readily changes into Mn2+ (3d5) by gaining an electron and
behaves as a strong oxidizing agent.
(1)
b) All these ions have no unpaired electrons. The d - d transitions
responsible for colour are not possible.
(1)
c) In the 3d series, the strength of metallic bond increases upto the
middle with increasing number of unpaired electrons. After Cr, the
number of unpaired electrons decreases. Accordingly, the enthalpies of
atomization decrease after Cr. The dip at Mn is due to stable electronic
configuration. Its electrons are more tightly held by the nucleus and so
the metallic bond is weak.
(1)

d) For the ions of the same charge, ionic radius decreases with increasing
atomic number. This is because the extra electrons enter a d -orbital
each time the nuclear charge increase by unity. The shielding effect of
a d electron is small, the net electrostatic attraction between the
nucleus and outermost electrons increases and ionic radius decreases.
