For question number 13 to 16, two statements are given, one

labelled as Assertion (A) and the other labelled as Reason (R).
Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (A),
(B), (C) and (D) as given below :
(A) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R)
is the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).

is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
(C) Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
(D) Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

13. Assertion (A) : Zinc is not regarded as a transition element.

Reason (R) : Zinc has completely filled 3d orbitals in its
ground state as well as in its oxidised state.

14. Assertion (A) : In a first order reaction, if the concentration

of the reactant is doubled, its half-life is also
doubled.
Reason (R) : The half-life of a reaction does not depend
upon the initial concentration of the reactant
in a first order reaction.

The following questions are case based questions. Each

question has an internal choice and carries 4 (2 + 1 + 1) marks
each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that
follow :

29. Carbohydrates are optically active polyhydroxy aldehydes or

ketones or molecules which provide such units on hydrolysis.
They are broadly classified into three groups –
monosaccharides, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides.
Monosaccharides are held together by glycosidic linkage to
form disaccharides like sucrose, maltose.
Another biomolecule : proteins are polymers of -amino acids
which are linked by peptide bonds. On the basis of number of
amino group and carboxyl group, amino acids are classified as
acidic, basic or neutral amino acids. Amino acids are
amphoteric in nature.
(a) What is difference between glycosidic linkage and peptide
linkage ? The pentacetate of glucose does not react with
Hydroxyl amine. What does it indicate ? 2

(b) Define Oligosaccharides with an example. 1

OR
(b) Why amino acids are amphoteric in nature ? 1
(c) Define Acidic amino acids. 1

30. Werner proposed the concept of a primary valence and a
secondary valence for a metal ion. The primary valences are
normally ionisable and are satisfied by negative ions. The
secondary valences are non-ionisable. These are satisfied by
neutral molecules or negative ions. The secondary valency is
equal to the co-ordination number and is normally fixed for a
metal. The Valence Bond Theory (VBT) explains the formation,
magnetic behaviour and geometrical shapes of co-ordination
compounds whereas the Crystal Field Theory (CFT) is based on
the effect of different crystal fields on the degeneracy of d-
orbitals energies of the central metal atom / ion.

diamagnetic. Explain why ? [Atomic number : Cr = 24,
