21.

(b) Ethane-1, 2-diamine is a neutral ligand as it carries no charge. Oxidation number of Co in the complex ion is +3. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

22.

(c) \(\begin{equation} \left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{en})_{3}\right] \mathrm{Cl}_{2} \end{equation}\) is more stable than \(\begin{equation} \left[\mathrm{Ni}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{6}\right] \mathrm{Cl}_{2} \end{equation}\), because \(\begin{equation} \left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{en})_{3}\right] \mathrm{Cl}_{2} \end{equation}\) is a chelating compound which are more stable than complexes with unidentate ligands as the dissociation of complex involves breaking of two bonds instead of one. \(\begin{equation} \left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{en})_{3}\right] \mathrm{Cl}_{2} \end{equation}\)show octahedral geometry with d⁸ configuration. (A) is correct but (R) is incorrect.

23.

[Ni(CN)₄]^2- is square planar and dimagnetic.
\(\begin{equation} \begin{array}{l} \mathrm{Ni} \rightarrow 3 d^{8} 4 s^{2} \\ \mathrm{Ni}^{2+} \rightarrow 3 d^{8} 4 s^{0} \end{array} \end{equation}\)

\(\therefore\)This complex has no unpaired electron.

24.

(a) Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.

25.

(c) Acylation of amine gives a mono substituted product whereas alkylation of amine gives polysubstituted product because acylation in amine takes place at N-atom and alkylation takes place at o-and p-position. Hence, (A) is correct but (R) is incorrect.

26.

(a) When a protein in its native form is subjected to physical change like change in temperature or chemical change like change in pH, the hydrogen bonds are disturbed.
Due to this, globules unfold and helix get uncoiled and protein loses its biological activity. This is called denaturation of protein. The coagulation of egg white on boiling is the common example of denaturation. Thus, both (A)and (R)are correct explanation of (A).

27.

(a) DNA is the chemical basis of heredity and may be regarded as the reserve of genetic information. DNA is exclusively responsible for maintaining the identity of different species of organisms over millions of years. A DNA molecule is capable of self duplication during cell division and identical DNA strands are transferred to the daughter cells. Hence, Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is correct explanation of (A).

28.

(c): [FeF₆]^3- is a high spin complex since F^- is a weak field ligand.

29.

(b): Ni²⁺ configuration.

During rearrangement only one 3d-orbital may be made available by pairing the electrons. Thus, inner d2sp3 hybridisation is not possible. So, only sp³d²(outer) hybridisation can occur.

30.

(b): In these complexes, the metal and ligand form a bond that involves the rt-electrons of the ligand and so it is a ㅠ -bonded organometallic compound.

31.

(c): Only primary amines can be prepared from amides (RCONH₂ ) by treating with Br₂ and KOH. Thus, N-methyl acetamide i.e., CH₃CONHCH₃ does not undergo Hoffmann bromamide reaction.

32.

(b): Aniline exists as resonance hybrid. As a result of resonance, the lone pair of electrons on nitrogen gets delocalized over the benzene ring and thus, is less easily available for protonation than in case of cyclohexylamine where no such resonance takes place.

33.

(b): -NH₂ being o,p-directing group directs -SO₃H group to less hindered p-position.

34.

(c): Acetylation decreases the electron density in the benzene ring and deactivate the ring hence control the reaction.

35.

\(\text { (a): } \mathrm{NH}_{2}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{COOH}\) is a typical \(\alpha \) -amino acid.
In solution it exists as, internal salt or zwitter ion,
\(\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{COO}^{-}\right)\)
because the proton (H⁺) of - COOH group is captured by - NH₂ group as NH₂ has a lone pair of electrons on N atom.

36.

(b) Both assertion and reason are wrong statements.
Glycine is not essential amino acid because it is produced in our body, so it may not be part of our diet.

37.

(c) (A) is correct while (R) is incorrect. The correct (R) statement is a tetrapeptide contains 4 amino acids linked by three peptide bonds.

38.

(c) (A) is correct but (R) is incorrect.
Complexes of MX₆ and MX₅L type (X and L are unidentate) do not show geometrical isomerism due to presence of plane of symmetry.
