S13. Ans.(b)
Sol.

S14. Ans.(b)
Sol. As the atomic number increases and the nuclear charge increases across a period (from Li to F),
the force of attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons becomes stronger. This
stronger attraction pulls the electrons closer to the nucleus, thereby decreasing the atomic radii.
However, as the nuclear charge increases, it effectively reduces the size of the atom (atomic radii
decreases) because the electrons are drawn more tightly to the nucleus, despite the number of electron
shells remaining the same. This is why the atomic radii decreases from Li to F.
Important Key Points:
1. Atomic number increases across a period from left to right, which means more protons are present in
the nucleus.
2. Nuclear charge increases with the increase in atomic number, resulting in a stronger attraction between
the nucleus and electrons.
3. As the nuclear charge increases, the attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons becomes
stronger, causing the electrons to be pulled closer to the nucleus.
4. Despite an increase in electrons, the atomic size decreases because of the stronger effective nuclear
charge (Z_eff).
5. The atomic radii trend is consistent across periods in the periodic table: atomic radii generally decrease
as you move from left to right.
6. This effect is crucial for understanding other trends, such as ionization energy, electron affinity, and
electronegativity.
Effective nuclear charge (Z_eff) is a key factor in determining atomic size. It increases across a period,
leading to a stronger pull on electrons, which decreases atomic radii.
Trends in atomic radii are important for understanding periodic trends in chemistry, such as the reactivity
and bonding characteristics of elements.

S15. Ans.(a)
Sol. Sol: The correct answer is (a) In red blood cells
Key Points:
Red blood cells:
The primary respiratory pigment in the human body is hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a protein that is found
in red blood cells (RBCs) and is responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body
and returning carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs.
In Red Blood Cells (RBCs): Hemoglobin is present in large quantities in red blood cells, giving them their
characteristic red color. Each hemoglobin molecule can bind to four oxygen molecules, enabling efficient
oxygen transport.
Role of Hemoglobin:
o Oxygen Transport: Hemoglobin binds to oxygen in the lungs, forming oxyhemoglobin. This oxygenated
form is transported via the bloodstream to various tissues, where it releases the oxygen for cellular
respiration.
o Carbon Dioxide Transport: Hemoglobin also assists in transporting some of the carbon dioxide
produced by tissues back to the lungs for exhalation.
Information booster:
white blood cells (WBCs):
White blood cells are involved in the immune response and do not contain hemoglobin or other respiratory
pigments.
Blood plasma:
Blood plasma is the liquid component of blood and does not contain significant amounts of respiratory
pigments. It primarily transports nutrients, hormones, and waste products.
In both plasma and white blood cells:
Neither blood plasma nor white blood cells contain hemoglobin.

S41. Ans.(c)
Sol. The correct answer is (c) Fixed energy.
Electrons revolve around the nucleus in specific orbits or shells that have fixed energy levels.
This concept is based on Bohr’s model of the atom, which states that electrons can only occupy certain
energy levels, not in between them.
These fixed energy levels prevent the electrons from spiraling into the nucleus, as they maintain a stable
orbit.
When an electron moves between orbits, it absorbs or releases energy equal to the difference between the
two energy levels.
Information Booster:
Energy Levels or Shells: These are denoted as K, L, M, N shells, where K has the lowest energy and is
closest to the nucleus.
Quantum Jump: When electrons move between energy levels, they absorb or emit photons
corresponding to the energy gap.
Bohr’s Postulate: This model of fixed energy orbits explains atomic stability and the emission spectrum.
Stationary States: These fixed orbits are also known as stationary states because electrons do not lose
energy while in a stable orbit.

Sol. (b) E. coli coliform
Explanation:
The presence of E. coli (Escherichia coli), a type of coliform bacteria, is a strong indicator of water
pollution, particularly contamination from fecal matter. E. coli is commonly found in the intestines of
warm-blooded animals, including humans. Its presence in water suggests contamination from sewage or
animal waste, which may also carry harmful pathogens.
Other bacteria like Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Salmonella typhi, and Vibrio cholerae are disease-
causing agents but are not specifically used as indicators of water pollution. These bacteria may be present
in polluted water, but E. coli is the standard indicator due to its higher association with fecal contamination.
Important Key Points:
1. E. coli is a primary indicator of fecal contamination in water.
2. Its presence suggests possible pathogens like viruses, bacteria, and parasites in water.
3. Regular testing for E. coli helps monitor water quality and safety.
4. Salmonella and Vibrio cholerae cause diseases but are not standard indicators of water pollution.
5. Coliform bacteria are used as general indicators of water pollution.
6. Clean water standards require the absence of E. coli in drinking water.

In a plant, the seed contains the embryo, which develops into a seedling under appropriate conditions. The
process is known as germination. During germination, the seed absorbs water, swells, and breaks the seed
coat. This triggers the growth of the embryo into a seedling, which eventually grows into a mature plant.
Pollination - Pollination is the process by which pollen from the male part of a flower (anther) is
transferred to the female part (stigma). This enables fertilization, leading to the production of seeds for
plant reproduction
Cross-pollination-Cross-pollination occurs when pollen from the male part of one flower is transferred to
the female part of a different flower, typically of the same species. This enhances genetic diversity and leads
to the production of viable seeds.
Transpiration - Transpiration is the process by which plants lose water vapor through small pores called
stomata on their leaves. It helps regulate water balance, cools the plant, and enables the uptake of nutrients

Sol.

S82. Ans.(a)
Sol. The correct answer is (a) Weak acid and strong base.
Sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃) is classified as a basic salt because it is formed from the reaction of a weak
acid (carbonic acid, H₂CO₃) and a strong base (sodium hydroxide, NaOH).
In this reaction, sodium hydroxide completely neutralizes carbonic acid, resulting in a salt that has basic
properties.
When sodium carbonate dissolves in water, it undergoes hydrolysis, producing hydroxide ions (OH⁻),
which makes the solution basic.
Sodium carbonate is also known as washing soda and is used in various household and industrial
applications.
Additional Knowledge:
Strong acid and strong base: A salt from a strong acid and a strong base is typically neutral (e.g., sodium
chloride, NaCl).
Weak acid and weak base: A salt from both a weak acid and a weak base can vary in pH and does not
exhibit strong basic or acidic properties.
Strong acid and weak base: A salt formed from a strong acid and a weak base, such as ammonium chloride
(NH₄Cl), is acidic in nature.

S83. Ans.(b)
Sol. Given: 2, 15, 41, 93, 197, (?)
Logic: Multiply the difference between the two previous terms by 2 to get the difference between the next
two terms.

15 + (13×× 2) = 15 + 26 = 41
41 + (26×× 2) = 41 + 52 = 93
93 + (52×× 2) = 93 + 104 = 197
Similarly, 197 + (104×× 2) = 197 + 208 = 405
So, the missing term is 405. Thus, the correct answer is (b).
