Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) A-I, B-III, C-IV, D-II
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
A. \(XeF_6\): Valence e- (Xe) = 8. Bond pairs = 6. Lone pairs = \((8 - 6 \times 1)/2 = 1\). SN = 6+1=7. \(\implies sp^3d^3\), Distorted octahedral. B. \(XeO_3\): Valence e- (Xe) = 8. Bond pairs = 3 (O double bonds). Lone pairs = \((8 - 3 \times 2)/2 = 1\). SN = 3+1=4.…

- Answer the question on the basis of passage given below:
Adsorption is the phenomenon of attracting and retaining the molecules of a substance on the surface of a solid resulting into a higher concentration on the surface than in the bulk. The substance adsorbed is known as adsorbate and the substance on which adsorption takes place is called adsorbent. In physisorption adsorbate is held to the adsorbent by weak van der Waals forces and in chemisorption by strong chemical bond.

C. \([ Fe ( CN )]^{3-}\)

\(G = \frac{\kappa A}{l}\) =k(both \(A\) and \(l\) are unity in their appropriate units in m or cm)
Molar conductivity of a solution at a given concentration is the conductance of the volume \(V\) of solution containing one mole of electrolyte kept between two electrodes with area of cross section \(A\) and distance of unit length (\(l\)). Therefore,
\(\Lambda_m = \frac{\kappa A}{l}\)
Since \(l = 1\) and \(A = V\) (volume containing 1 mole of electrolyte),
\(\Lambda_m = \kappa V\)

- Read the given paragraph carefully and answer the following questions:
Since the DNA is enclosed within the membranes, we have to break the cell open to release DNA along with other macromolecules such as RNA, proteins, polysaccharides and also lipids. This can be achieved by treating the bacterial cells/plant or animal tissue with enzymes such as lysozyme (bacteria), cellulase (plant cells), chitinase (fungus). There are some basic steps in genetically modifying an organism (i) identification of DNA with desirable genes; (ii) introduction of the identified DNA into the host; (iii) maintenance of introduced DNA in the host and transfer of the DNA to its progeny. Agrobacterium tumifaciens, a pathogen of several dicot plants is able to deliver a piece of DNA known as 'T-DNA' to transform normal plant cells into a tumor and direct these tumor cells to produce the chemicals required by the pathogen. Other molecules can be removed by appropriate treatments and purified DNA ultimately precipitates out after the addition of chilled ethanol. Selection of recombinants due to inactivation of antibiotics is a cumbersome procedure because it requires simultaneous plating on two plates having different antibiotics. Therefore, alternative selectable markers have been developed which differentiate recombinants from non-recombinants on the basis of their ability to produce colour in the presence of a chromogenic substrate. In this, a recombinant DNA is inserted within the coding sequence of an enzyme, ß-galactosidase. This results into inactivation of the gene for synthesis of this enzyme, which is referred to as insertional inactivation.

The noble gases have closed shell electronic configuration and are monatomic gases under normal conditions. The low boiling points of lighter noble gases are due to the weak dispersion forces between the atoms and the absence of other inter atomic interaction.
