Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:

Werner, a Swiss chemist in 1892 prepared and characterised a large number of coordination compounds and studied their physical and chemical behaviour. He proposed that, in coordination compounds, metals possess two types of valencies, viz. primary valencies, which are normally ionisable and secondary valencies which are non-ionisable. ln a series of compounds of cobalt (III) chloride with ammonia, it was found that some of the chloride ions could be precipitated as AgCl on adding excess of AgNO3 solution in cold, but some remained in solution. The number ofions furnished by a complex in a solution can be determined by precipitation reactions. The measurement of molar conductance of solutions of coordination compounds helps to estimate the number of ions furnished by the compound in solution.

The transition elements occupy position in betweens- and p-blocks in groups 3-12 of the Periodic table. Starting from fourth period, transition elements consists of four complete series : Sc to Zn, Y to Cd and La, Hf to Hg and Ac, Rf to Cn.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
Valence bond theory considers the bonding between the metal ion and the ligands as purely covalent. On the other hand, crystal field theory considers the metal-ligand bond to be ionic arising from electrostatic interaction between the metal ion and the ligands. In coordination compounds, the interaction between the ligand and the metal ion causes the five d-orbitals to split-up. This is called crystal field splitting and the energy difference between the two sets of energy level is called crystal field splitting energy. The crystal field splitting energy $(\Delta_0)$ depends upon the nature of the ligand. The actual configuration of complexes is divided by the relative values of $\Delta_0$ and P (pairing energy).
If $\Delta_0<\text{P},$ then complex will be high spin.
If $\Delta_0>\text{P},$ then complex will be low spin

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:

Glucose is known as dextrose because it occurs in nature as the optically active dextrorotatory isomer. lt is essential constituent of human blood. The blood normally contains 65 to 110mg of glucose per 100mL (hence named Blood sugar). The level may be much higher in diabetic persons. The urine of diabetic persons also contain considerable amount of glucose. ln combined form, it occurs in cane sugar and polysaccharides such as starch and cellulose.

Glucose has an aldehyde group (-CHO), one primary alcoholic group (-CH2OH) and four secondary alcoholic groups (-CHOH) in their structure. Due to the presence five hydroxyl groups (-OH). glucose undergoes acetylation. Glucose also undergoes oxidation with mild oxidising agents like bromine water as well as with strong oxidising agents like nitric acid. Since glucose is readily oxidised, it acts as a strong reducing agent and reduces Tollen's reagent and Fehling solution. Glucose exists in two crystalline forms: $\alpha$-D-glucose and $\beta$-D-glucose. If either of the two forms is dissolved in water and allowed to stand, the specific rotation of the solution changes gradually, until a constant value is obtained. This change is called mutarotation.

Reason: Glucose is a monosaccharide.

  1. Assertion: The rapid interconversion of $\alpha$-D-glucose and $\beta$-D-glucose in solution is known as racemisation.

Reason: Hydrolysis reaction will take place when a mineral acid is treated with sugar.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:

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.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
The unique behaviour of Cu, having a positive E° accounts for its inability to liberate H2 from acids. Only oxidising acids (nitric and hot concentrated sulphuric acid) react with Cu, the acids being reduced.
