1. In the given complex [Pt(en)2Cl2],  
Ethylene diamine (en) is a bidentate ligand. 
Chloride is unidentate ligand.  
Therefore, 
                   [(2 × 2) + (2 × 1)] = 6 
 
Coordination number of Pt is 6. 
The oxidation state of Pt is +2. 
 
2. FeO has a non-stoichiometric composition with the formula Fe0.95O, because 
Fe is present in both +2 and +3 oxidation states. 
 
3. Benzyl chloride is more readily hydrolysed in aqueous NaOH. 
In chlorobenzene, the lone pair of chlorine is in conjugation with the ?-bond 
of benzene. 
This develops the partial double bond character which results in the reduced 
reactivity of chlorobenzene. 
 
4. The IUPAC name of the given compound is 3,3-dimethylpentan-2-ol. 
 
5.  
CO and H2 react to form different products in the presence of different 
catalysts. This shows the selectivity of a catalyst. 
Selectivity of a catalyst is the ability of a catalyst to direct the reaction to 
form a particular product excluding others. 
 
6.  
a. PH3 will have the lowest boiling point.  
b. Ammonia has the maximum basic character. 
c. NH3 will have the highest bond angle. 
d. BiH3 will have the maximum reducing character.

(a) Aromatic carboxylic acids undergo electrophilic substitution reactions in 
which the carboxyl group acts as a deactivating and meta-directing 
group. 
(b) They however do not undergo Friedel–Crafts reaction because the 
carboxyl group is deactivating and the catalyst aluminium chloride 
(Lewis acid) gets bonded to the carboxyl group. 
Para-nitro benzoic acid is more acidic than benzoic acid because of the 
electron-withdrawing nitro group at the para position to the acid group. 
The nitro group (-NO2) withdraws the electrons from the carboxylic acid 
group due to which the electron density on the hydrogen atom of the 
carboxylic acid becomes low, and it can be easily removed. Hence, it is 
more acidic than benzoic acid.
