General Instructions :
Read the following instructions very carefully and strictly follow them :
(i) This question paper comprises four Sections – A, B, C and D. There are
37 questions in the question paper. All questions are compulsory.
(ii) Section A – Questions no. 1 to 20 are very short answer type questions,
carrying 1 mark each. Answer these questions in one word or one sentence.
(iii) Section B – Questions no. 21 to 27 are short answer type questions, carrying
2 marks each.
(iv) Section C – Questions no. 28 to 34 are long answer type-I questions, carrying
3 marks each.
(v) Section D – Questions no. 35 to 37 are long answer type-II questions, carrying
5 marks each.
(vi) There is no overall choice in the question paper. However, an internal choice
has been provided in 2 questions of two marks, 2 questions of three marks and
all the 3 questions of five marks. You have to attempt only one of the choices in
such questions.
(vii) In addition to this, separate instructions are given with each section and
question, wherever necessary.
(viii) Use of calculators and log tables is not permitted.

SECTION A

Read the given passage and answer the questions number 1 to 5 that follow : 15=5

The d-block of the periodic table contains the elements of the groups
3 – 12 and are known as transition elements. In general, the electronic
configuration of these elements is (n – 1) d1–10 ns1–2. The d-orbitals of the
penultimate energy level in their atoms receive electrons giving rise to
the three rows of the transition metals i.e., 3d, 4d and 5d series.
However, Zn, Cd and Hg are not regarded as transition elements.
Transition elements exhibit certain characteristic properties like variable
oxidation states, complex formation, formation of coloured ions and
alloys, catalytic activity, etc. Transition metals are hard (except Zn, Cd
and Hg) and have a high melting point.
