SECTION D 
The following questions are case-based questions. Each question has an internal choice and carries 4 (1+1+2) marks
each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. 
| 29. | Complex compounds play an
  important role in our daily life. Werner’s theory of complex compounds says
  every metal atom or ion has primary valency (oxidation state) which is
  satisfied by negatively charged ions, ionizable where secondary valency
  (coordination number) is non-ionizable, satisfied by ligands (+ve, –ve,
  neutral) but having lone pair. Primary valency is non-directional, and secondary
  valency is directional. Complex compounds are named according to the IUPAC system.
  Valence bond theory helps in determining shapes of complexes Based on
  hybridization, magnetic properties, outer or inner orbital complex. Complex
  show ionization, linkage, solvate and coordination isomerism also called
  structural isomerism. Some of them also show stereoisomerism i.e. geometrical
  and optical isomerism. Ambidentate ligand are essential to show linkage
  isomerism. Polydentate ligands form more stable complexes then unidentate
  ligands. There are called chelating agents. EDTA is used to treat lead
  poisoning, cis-platin as anticancer agents. Vitamin B12 is complex of cobalt.
  Haemoglobin, oxygen carrier is complex of Fe2+and chlorophyll
  essential for photosynthesis is complex of Mg2+.  (a) What is the oxidation state of Ni in [Ni(CO)4]?
   OR      Write the coordination number in the
  given complex:       [Cr(H2O)2(C2O4)2]-  (b) Indicate the type of isomerism exhibited by

  Out of cis – [Pt(en)2Cl2]2+and
  trans (Pt(en)2Cl2)2+which one shows optical
  isomerism and why? |  | 
| 30. | Conductors allow the
  passage of electric current through them. Metallic and electrolytic are the
  two types of conductors. Current carriers in metallic and electrolytic
  conductors are free electrons and free ions respectively. Specific
  conductance or conductivity of the electrolyte solution is given by the
  relation: Ƙ= c x l/A where c = 1/R is the conductance and l/A is the cell
  constant. The molar conductance of strong electrolytes depends on concentration: Λm= Λ°m− b√c,Λm= molar
  conductance at infinite dilution, c= concentration of the solution, b =
  constant. The degree of dissociation of weak electrolytes is calculated as:α
  = 𝜆𝑚/𝜆𝑚∞ (a) Out of specific
  conductance and molar conductance, which one of the following decreases on dilution
  of electrolyte solution and why? (b) The resistance of a conductivity cell containing 0.001M KCl solution
