CASE STUDY BASE:

Q16. The solutions which obey Raoult’s law over the entire range of concentration are known as ideal solutions.
The ideal solutions have two other important properties. The enthalpy of mixing of the pure components to
form the solution is zero and the volume of mixing is also zero, i.e., mixH = 0, mixV = 0.
When a solution does not obey Raoult’s law over the entire range of concentration, then it is called non-ideal
solution.
There are many properties of solutions which are connected with this decrease of vapour pressure. These
are: (1) relative lowering of vapour pressure of the solvent (2) depression of freezing point of the solvent (3)
elevation of boiling point of the solvent and (4) osmotic pressure of the solution. All these properties depend
on the number of solute particles irrespective of their nature relative to the total number of particles present
in the solution. Such properties are called colligative properties (colligative: from Latin: co means together,
ligare means to bind).
(a) Find the boiling point of a solution containing 0.92 g of sucrose dissolved in 100 g of water.
(Given kb for water = 0.52 K/m) [2]
(b) The depression in freezing point of water observed for the same molar concentration of acetic acid,
trichloroacetic acid and trifluoroacetic acid increases in the order as stated above. Explain. [2]
(c) What is the unit of Cryoscopic constant? [1]

extent and acetic acid ionises to the minimum extent. Greater the number of ions produced, greater is
the depression in freezing point. [1]

Q16. The elements which give the greatest number of oxidation states occur in or near the middle of the series.
Manganese, for example, exhibits all the oxidation states from +2 to +7. The lesser number of oxidation states
at the extreme ends. The maximum oxidation states of reasonable stability correspond in value to the sum of
the s and d electrons up to manganese. The variability of oxidation states, a characteristic of transition
elements, arises out of incomplete filling of d orbitals in such a way that their oxidation states differ from each
other by unity, e.g., VII, VIII, VIV, VV.

The highest oxidation numbers are achieved with fluorine and oxygen like TiX4 (tetrahalides), VF5, CrF3 –
CrF6 and the highest oxidation number in the oxides coincides with the group number and is attained in Sc2O3
to Mn2O7. The ability of fluorine to stabilise the highest oxidation state is due to higher lattice energy. Low
-acceptor character in addition
-bonding. For example, in Ni(CO)4 and Fe(CO)5, As the oxidation number of a metal increases, ionic
character decreases. In the case of Mn, Mn2O7 is a covalent green oil. Even CrO3 and V2O5 have low melting
points. In these higher oxides, the acidic character is predominant and vice versa.

(1) Why is +7 oxidation state of Mn found in oxide but not in fluoride? [2]

(2) Name a transition element which does not exhibit variable oxidation state. [1]

(3) Among Cl2O7, Mn2O7, CrO3, and V2O5 which is least acidic and why? [2]

A7. Due to lanthanoid contraction, the elements of 4d and 5d series have similar atomic radii, eg. Zr = 145 pm
and Hf = 144 pm [1]
A8. Third ionization enthalpy of Mn is very high because the third electron has to be removed from the stable half-
filled 3d – subshell [Mn2+ (Z = 25) = 3d5]. [1]
True/False Type Questions:

A10. +3 [1]
SECTION-C
Short Answer Type Questions:
A11. Elements which have incompletely filled d-orbitals in their ground state or in any one of their oxidation states
are called transition elements
Characteristics of transition elements
(1) They show variable oxidation state. [1]
(2) They exhibit catalytic properties. [1]
A12. Copper (I) compounds are unstable in aqueous solution and undergo disproportionation. [2]
2Cu+ 2+ + Cu
The stability of Cu2+(aq) rather than Cu+(aq) is due to the much more negative hydration of Cu2+(aq) than Cu+.
A13. Mn in MnO4– has +7 oxidation state which is its highest possible oxidation state. [2]
It cannot be oxidised further. Hence, it cannot undergo disproportionation.
A14. Lanthanoid contraction : The steady decrease in the atomic and ionic radii of lanthanoid elements with
increase in atomic number is called lanthanoid contraction. It is caused due to imperfect shielding of nuclear
charge by 4f electrons. [2]
Consequences of lanthanoid contraction. [1]
• The basic strength of oxides and hydroxides of lanthanoids decrease with increasing atomic number
• Atomic and ionic sizes of 4d transition series elements and 5d transition series elements are similar
example atomic radii of Zr is same as that of Hf. [1]
SECTION-D
Long Answer Type Question:
A15. (i) (a) Stability of ions in aqueous state depends on hydration energy due to small size Cr+3 is more stable
[2]
(b) Mn+3 is strong oxidising agent as Mn+2 is more stable than Mn+3 due to its half filled configuration. [2]
(c) Ti+4 is colourless ion due to d0 configuration of ion. [1]
OR
(a) As transition metals have a large number of unpaired electrons in the d-orbitals of their atoms they have
strong interatomic attraction or metallic bonds. Hence they have high enthalpy of atomisation. [2]
(b) Cr2+ is stronger reducing agent than Fe2+ because d4 d3 occurs in case of Cr2+ to Cr3+
But d6 d5 occurs in case of Fe2+ to Fe3+
In a medium (like water) d3 configuration is more stable as compared to d5 configuration. [2]
(c) 95% [1]

(a) Complete the following chemical reaction [3]

(i) Ln +O2
Lanthanide

(ii) Ln +H2O
Lanthanide

(iii) Ln +N
Lanthanide

(b) Explain, why transition metals and their compounds are known for their catalytic activity. [2]
CASE STUDY BASE:
Q16. The d-block consisting of group 3-12 occupies the large middle section of the periodic table. In these elements
the inner d orbitals are progressively filled. The involvement of (n-1)d electrons in the behaviour of transition
elements impart certain distinct characteristics to these elements. Thus, in addition to variable oxidation
states, they exhibit paramagnetic behaviour, catalytic properties and tendency for the formation of coloured
ions, interstitial compounds etc. Also, oxometallic salts of d-block elements like KMnO4 and K2Cr2O7 are good
oxidising agent.
(a) Complete the following reaction: [2]

Cr2O72– +Fe2+ +H+

(b) How many unpaired electrons are present in Cu2+? [2]
(c) Which among the elements of 3d series, shows maximum number of oxidation states? [1]

n-factor = 6
SECTION-C
Short Answer Type Questions:
A11. The high melting points of d-block metals are attributed to the involvement of greater number of electrons
from (n-1) d in addition to the ns electron in the interatomic metallic bonding. [2]
A12. Transition metal and most of their compounds contain unpaired electrons in the (n – 1) d orbitals hence show
paramagnetic behaviour. [2]
A13. Ce(Z = 58) = [Xe]54 4f15d16s2 [1]
Ce3+ = [Xe]54 4f1
So, it has only one unpaired electron i.e. n = 1 [½]

[½]

A14. (a) On moving left to right in the lanthanoid series, the ionic radii of Ln3+ ion decreases because of lanthanoid
contraction. [1]
Correct order of ionic radii is
Lu3+ < Er3+ < Eu3+ < Pm3+ [1]
(b) Lanthanum forms +3 oxidation state by the removal of all the three electrons from the outermost shell
resulting in noble gas configuration of Xenon. To form La4+, the electron has to be removed from stable
Xenon core which is very difficult . Thus, La4+ cannot exist. [2]
SECTION-D
Long Answer Type Question:
A15. (i) Interstitial compounds are those which are formed when small atoms like H, C or N are trapped inside
the crystal lattices of metals. [1½]
For example. TiC, Mn4N, Fe3H, etc. [½]
(ii) The principal characteristics of these compounds are-
(a) They have high melting points, higher than those of pure metal [1]
(b) They are very hard, some borides approach diamond in hardness. [1]
(iii) Interstitial compounds are usually non stoichiometric and are neither typically ionic nor covalent. [1]

(ii) Ln+N LnN [1]

(b) Transition metals have the ability to adopt multiple oxidation states and to form complexes. V2O5 in
contact process, finely divided iron in Haber process are some examples. [2]
