Question
Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:

For understanding the structure and bonding in transition metal complexes, the magnetic properties are very helpful. Low spin complexes are generally diamagnetic because of pairing of electrons, whereas high spin complexes are usually paramagnetic because of presence of unpaired electrons. Larger the number of unpaired electrons, stronger will be the paramagnetism. However magnetic behaviour of a complex can be confirmed from magnetic moment measurement. Magnetic moment $\mu=\sqrt{\text{n(n+2)}}\text{B.M.}$ where n = number of unpaired electrons. Greater the number of unpaired electrons, more will be the magnetic moment.

In these questions (Q. No. i-iv), a statement of assertion followed by a statement ofreason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.

Aldehydes and ketones are reduced to primary and secondary alcohols respectively by NaBH4 or LiAlH4 as well as catalytic hydrogenation. The carbonyl group of aldehydes and ketones is reduced to  group on treatment with Zn-Hg and cone. HCl (Clemmensen reduction) or with hydrazine followed by NaOH or KOH in highly boiling solvent such as ethylene glycol (Wolff-Kishner reduction).Aldehydes differ from ketones in their oxidation reactions. Aldehydes are easily oxidised to carboxylic acids on treatment with HNO3, KMnO4, K2Cr2O7 etc. Even mild oxidising agents mainlyTollens' reagent and Fehling's solution also oxidise aldehydes. Ketones are generally oxidised under vigorous conditions i.e., strong oxidising agents and at elevated temperatures, to give mixture of carboxylic acids having lesser number of C-atoms than the parent ketone.

Nucleophilic substitution reactions are of two types; substitution nucleophilic bimolecular (SN2) and substitution nucleophilic unimolecular (SN1) depending on molecules taking part in determining the rate of reaction. Reactivity of alkyl halide towards SN1 and SN2 reactions depends on various factors such as steric hindrance, stability of intermediate or transition state, and polarity of solvent.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:

Amines are produced when an alcoholic solution of ammonia and an alkyl or a benzyl halide is heated in a sealed tube at 373K. This reaction is called ammonolysis and usually gives a mixture of primary, secondary and tertiary amines along with some quarternary ammonium salts. This reaction is an example of nucleophilic substitution reaction in which ammonia acts as a nucleophile due to the presence of a lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom. However this method cannot be used for the preparation of aryl amines. One of the most convenient methods for the preparation of aryl amines is reduction of nitro compounds. Aryl amines can also be prepared by reduction of nitrites or Gabriel phthalimide synthesis.

  1. Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.

  1. Assertion: Ammonolysis can be used to prepare pure primary amines.

Reason: Ammonolysis of haloalkanes lead to multiple ammonium salts.

  1. Assertion: Aromatic 1º amines can not be prepared by Gabriel phthalimide synthesis.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:

The sequence of bases along the DNA and RNA chain establishes its primary structure which controls the specific properties of the nucleic acid. An RNA molecule is usually a single chain ofribose-containing nucleotide. On the basis of X-ray analysis of DNA, J.D., Watson and EH.C. crick (shared noble prize in 1962) proposed a three dimensional secondary structure for DNA. DNA molecule is a long and highly complex, spirally twisted, double helix, ladder like structure. The two polynucleotide chains or strands are linked up by hydrogen bonding between the nitrogeneous base molecules of their nucleotide monomers. Adenine (purine) always links with thymine (pyrimidine) with the help of two hydrogen bonds and guanine (purine) with cytosine (pyrimidine) with the help of three hydrogen bonds. Hence, the two strands extend in opposite directions, i.e., are antiparallel and complimentary.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
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. The presence of aromatic amines can be identified by performing dye test. Aniline is the simplest example of aromatic amine. It undergoeselectrophilic substitution reactions in which -NH2 group strongly activates the aromatic ring through delocalisation of lone pair of electrons of N-atom. Aniline undergoes electrophilic substitution reactions. Ortho and para positions to the -NH2 group become centres of high electrons density. Thus, -NH2 group is ortho and para-directing and powerful activating group.
