carries 4 (2+1+1) marks. Read the passage carefully and answer the
29. Coordination compounds are widely present in minerals, plants and questions that follow.
play many important functions in the area of analytical animals and are known to
chemistry,
systems and medicine. The Valence Bond Theory (VBT) explains themetallurgy, biological
formation, magnetic
properties and geomnetrical shapes of coordination compounds. It, however, fails to describe the
optical properties of these compounds. The Crystal Field Theory (CFT) explains the effect of
different crystal fields (provided by ligands when taken as point charges) on the degeneracy of
d-orbital's energies of central metal atom ion which leads to splitting of d-orbitals that helps to
explain the colour of the complexes and magnetic properties of a few complexes.
Onthe basis of above paragraph, answer the questions that follow -
(a) (i) Using valence bond theory, predict the magnetic property and hybridization of Cr in
[Cr(NHs)6]Cls.

30. Amines are alkyl or aryl derivatives of ammonia formed by

replacement of one or more
hydrogen atoms. Alkyl derivatives are called aliphatic amines and aryl derivatives are known
as aromatic amines. Amines are soluble in water like alcohols.
Primary and secondary amines
are associated with hydrogen bonding whereas tertiary amines are not.
The presence of aromatic amines can be identified by performing dye test.
Hinsberg's reagent
is also used to identify different types of amines. Primary and
secondary amines form
sulphonamides with Hinsberg's reagent whereas tertiary amine cannot due to absence of
hydrogen directly attached to nitrogen atom.

(a) (i) Arrange the following amines in the increasing order of solubility in water
CaHsNH2, (CaHs)2NH, (CzHs)3N
