SECTION D

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
29. Werner in 1898, propounded his theory of coordination compounds. He observed properties
are
different from that of double salts. According to Werner in coordination compounds metals show
two types of linkages (valences)-primary and secondary. The primary valences are normally
ionisable and are satisfied by negative ions. The secondary valences are non ionisable. These
are
satisfied by neutral molecules or negative ions. The secondary valence is equal to the
coordination
number and is fixed for a metal. The ions/groups bound by the secondary linkages to the metal
have
characteristic spatial arrangements corresponding to different coordination numbers giving rise
to
different shapes for the complexes. In modern formulations, such spatial arrangements are
called
coordination polyhedra. He further postulated that octahedral, tetrahedral and square planar
geometrical shapes are more common in coordination compounds of transition metals. The
species
within the square bracket are coordination entities or complexes and the ions outside the square
bracket are called counter ions. The ions or molecules bound to the central atom/ion in the

coordination entity are called ligands. The ligands could be monodentate, bidentate or
polydentate.
Complexes are named as per the rules under IUPAC nomenclature. Complexes show
isomerism
based upon the nature of the ligands and coordination number. Valence bond theory is useful in
predicting the shape, nature and magnetic behaviour. The drawbacks of VBT are overcome with
the
help of CFT which explains the strength of the ligands and colour of complexes.

(b) Draw and label the stereo-isomers of [Co(NH3)3(NO2)3]

complex ion ?

30. In an electrolytic cell external source of voltage is used to bring about a chemical reaction.
The
electrochemical processes are of great importance in the laboratory and the chemical industry.
One
of the simplest electrolytic cell consists of two copper strips dipping in an aqueous solution of
copper sulphate. If a DC voltage is applied to the two electrodes, then Cu ions discharge at the
cathode (negatively charged) and the following reaction takes place: Cu 2+(aq) + 2e-→Cu (s)
Copper metal is deposited on the cathode. At the anode, copper is converted into Cu ions by
the
reaction: Cu(s)→ Cu 2+(s) + 2e-. Thus copper is dissolved (oxidised) at anode and deposited
(reduced) at cathode. This is the basis for an industrial process in which impure copper is
converted
into copper of high purity. The impure copper is made an anode that dissolves on passing
current
and pure copper is deposited at the cathode. Many metals like Na, Mg, Al, etc. are produced on
large scale by electrochemical reduction of their respective cations where no suitable chemical
reducing agents are available for this purpose. Sodium and magnesium metals are produced by
the
electrolysis of their fused chlorides and aluminium is produced by electrolysis of aluminium
oxide
in presence of cryolite.The quantitative aspects of electrolysis is understood with the help of
Faraday's Laws of clectrolysis.
