12. d)Variable oxidation states (1)
13. B) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A. (1)
Explanation: halogens withdraw electrons through an inductive effect -I and
release electrons through resonance +R . Through I effect destabilize the
intermediate carbocation forme during the electropohilic substitution. So
reactivity is controlled by I effect and orientation is controlled by R effect.

30. a) Rate = k[NH3]x[ O2]y (1)

step For this we require at least a single molecule leading to the value of minimum
molecularity of one (1)
c) i) zero , -d[R]/dt = K (1/2 + ½)
ii)mol L-1S-1 , mol L-1S-1 (1/2 + ½)

be same. The order of the reaction is 1.5 but molecularity cannot be a fraction. (1)
ii) rate increases to 8 times (need calculation steps) (1)
SECTION E
31. a)i) The electronic configuration of Ni is [Ar] 3d84s2 which shows that it can only
formtwo types of complexes i.e. square planar (dsp2) in presence of strong ligand
and tetrahedral (sp3) in presence of weak ligand. There are four empty orbitals in
Ni while octahedral complexes require six empty orbitals. (1)
(ii) Due to presence of empty d-orbitals in transition metals, they can accept
electronpairs from ligands containing π electrons and hence can form π -bonding
complexes.Example : ligands like CO (1)
iii) Due to greater magnitude of Δ0 , CO produces strong fields which cause more
splitting of d-orbitals and moreover it is also able to form π bond due to back
bonding. (1)

b) [Ni(C2O4)2(H2O)2] : diaquadioxalatonickelate (II), (1)

c) molar conductivity at inifinte dilution is called limiting molar

oxides in presence of water, air and H+. It is basically an electrochemical
phenomenon.
c)Anode – oxygen ; cathode - Ag
33. i) Unstability of carboxylate anion due to conjugation in benzoic acid.(1)
ii) Among carboxylic acid methanoic acid alone will answer for Tollens test and
produces silver mirror (1)
iii) C=O group is sterically hindered in carboxylic acid. Example: carboxylic
acid will not undergo addition reaction with HCN,.. (1)
iv) Due to more extensive association of carboxylic acid molecules through
intermolecular hydrogen bonding. The hydrogen bonding are not broken
even in vapour phase. (1)
v) The lone pair electron present on Nitrogen near to carbonyl group take part
in resonance which makes less available of hydrogen to the reaction. (1)
