Topic :- THE D-AND F-BLOCK ELEMENTS
1 (c)
Many of the 𝑑-block (transition) elements and their compounds act as catalyst . Catalytic
property is probably due to the utilisation of (𝑛 ― 1) 𝑑-orbitals or formation of interstitial
compounds.
2 (a)
2HgCl2 +SnCl2⟶SnCl4 +Hg2Cl2 (white)
Hg2Cl2 +SnCl2⟶SnCl4 +Hg2 (Grey)
3 (b)
Mohr salt is FeSO4.(NH4)2SO4.6H2O
∴ It is double salt having FeSO4 and (NH4)2SO4.
4 (a)
Mn in MnO― 4 has +7 and Cr in CrO2Cl2 has +6 oxidation state, the highest for Mn and Cr
respectively.
5 (c)
Lanthanides are the 14 elements of IIIB group and sixth period (At. no.=58 to 71) that are
filling 4𝑓-subshell of antipenultimate shell from 1 to 14 . Actually, they are placed below
the Periodic Table in horizontal row as lanthanide series.
6 (a)
When the quenched steel is heated to temperature below red hot and then allowed to cool
slowly. It becomes soft. This process is known as annealing
7 (d)
It is a use of chrome alum.
8 (c)
We know that by reducing auric chloride by stannous chloride, the colloidal solution of
gold is obtained. It is known as purple of cassius
9 (b)
2CuCl2 + SO2 + 2H2O⟶Cu2Cl2 + 2HCl + H2SO4
10 (d)
C, Fe, Mg react with hot water to give H2.

11 (b)
Tungsten is the highest m.p. metal (3410C).
12 (d)
Mercurous chloride (calomel) is prepared by heating HgCl2 and Hg in iron vessel.
∆
HgCl2 + Hg Hg2Cl2
It can also be prepared by the reduction of mercury (II) chloride by tin (II) chloride in a
limited quantity.
∆
2HgCl2 + SnCl2 Hg2Cl2 + SnCl4
13 (a)
It is a fact.
14 (b)
SO2―3 + H2O⟶SO4 + 2H + 2𝑒
2― +
MnO― +
4 +8H +5𝑒⟶Mn
2+
+4H2O.
15 (c)
It is a fact.
16 (d)
The element having unpaired electron is paramagnetic. More the number of unpaired
electrons, more will be paramagnetic character.
Mn (25)=1𝑠2,2𝑠2,2𝑝6,3𝑠2,3𝑝6,4𝑠2,3𝑑5
∴ 5 unpaired electrons
Fe (26)= 1𝑠2,2𝑠2,2𝑝6,3𝑠2,3𝑝6,4𝑠2,3𝑑6
∴ 4 unpaired electrons
Ni (28)= 1𝑠2,2𝑠2,2𝑝6,3𝑠2,3𝑝6,4𝑠2,3𝑑8
∴ 2 unpaired electrons
Cu (29)= 1𝑠2,2𝑠2,2𝑝6,3𝑠2,3𝑝6,4𝑠2,3𝑑10
∴ 1 unpaired electrons
∴ Mn has maximum and Cu has least paramagnetic property.
17 (b)
It is a reason for the given fact.
18 (c)
The cupellation step in Parke’s process is used to purify Ag from lead.
19 (c)
It is a fact.
