SECTION A
7. When water freezes in a glass beaker, choose the correct statement amongst the following:
(a) ∆S(system) decreases but ∆S(surroundings) remains the same.
(b) ∆S(system) increases but ∆S(surroundings) decreases.
(C) ∆S(system) decreases but ∆S(surroundmgs) increases.
(d) ∆S(system) decreases but ∆S(surroundings) also decreases.
Direction : (Q. nos, 15-18) Each of these questions contain two statements, Assertion and Reason. Each of
these questions also has four alternative choices, only one of which is the correct answer. You have to select
one of the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) given below.
(a) Assertion is correct, reason is correct; reason is a correct explanation for assertion.
(b) Assertion is correct, reason is correct; reason is not a correct explanation for assertion
(c) Assertion is correct, reason is incorrect
(d) Assertion is incorrect, reason is correct.
16. Assertion: Boron has a smaller first ionization enthalpy than beryllium.
Reason : The penetration of a 2s electron to the nucleus is more than the 2p electron, hence, 2p
electron is more shielded by the inner core of electrons that the 2s electrons.
17. Assertion: Electron gain enthalpy becomes less negative as we go down a group.
Reason : Size of the atom increases on going down the group and the added electron would be
farther from the nucleus.
18. Assertion : For any chemical reaction at a particular temperature the equilibrium constant is fixed and is a
characteristic property.
Reason : Equilibrium constant is independent of temperature.

31. In addition to displaying the classification of elements into s-, p-, d-, and f-blocks, another
broad classification of elements based on their properties is available. The elements can be divided
into Metals and Non-Metals. Metals comprise more than 78% of all known elements and appear on
the left side of the Periodic Table. Metals are usually solids at room temperature Metals usually
have high melting and boiling points. They are good conductors of heat and electricity. They are
malleable (can be flattened into thin sheets by hammering) and ductile (can be drawn into wires).
In contrast, non-metals are located at the top right hand side of the Periodic Table.
1. The elements in which electrons are progressively filled in 4f-orbital are called
2. Al3+ < Mg2+ < Na+ < F– (increasing ionic size) . True / false
3. How does metallic nature vary down the group?
4. Arrange the elements N, P, O and S in the order of increasing non-metallic character.
32. Aromatic hydrocarbon are also known as ‘arenes’. Since most of them possess pleasant odour
(Greek; aroma meaning pleasant smelling), the class of compounds was named as ‘aromatic
compounds’. Most of such compounds were found to contain benzene ring. Benzene ring is highly
unsaturated but in a majority of reactions of aromatic compounds, the unsaturation of benzene ring
is retained. However, there are examples of aromatic hydrocarbons which do not contain a benzene
ring but instead contain other highly unsaturated ring. Aromatic compounds containing benzene
ring are known as benzenoids and those not containing a benzene ring are known as non-
benzenoids.
1. Write equation for sulphonation of benzene.
2. Write equation for the conversion of phenol to benzene.
3. How is benzene obtained from alkane?
4. How is benzene converted to BHC.
SECTION E
b) Calculate energy of one mole of photons of radiation whose frequency is 5 ×1014 Hz.
34. a) State i) Hess’s law ii) third law of thermodynamics iii) Extensive property.
b)
