Carbohydrates such as cane sugar, glucose, starch etc. belong to a class of naturally occurring organic compounds. Structurally these are polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones or the compounds which produce such units on hydrolysis. Carbohydrates which are sweet in taste are called sugars. Theses sugars can be reducing or non-reducing. Monosaccharides cannot be hydrolyzed to simpler units whereas Oligosaccharides yield two to ten monosaccharide units on hydrolysis. Polysaccharides yield large number of monosaccharide units on hydrolysis. This class of biomolecules is essential for living systems as they serve as storage molecules in plants and animals. In addition, they provide raw materials for important industries like furniture, textiles, paper, lacquers and breweries. Two aldopentose form important constituents of nucleic acids. Carbohydrates are also called saccharides (Greek: sakcharon which means sugar). Sugar which is used in household and in milk also comes under this class of biomolecules.

- Answer the question on basis of passage given below :
P block elements are placed in groups 13 to 18 of the periodic table. Their valence shell electronic configuration is \(ns^2 np^{1-6}\). Group 16 of the p block elements are known as the group of chalcogens having \(ns^2 np^4\) as their general electronic configuration. They exhibit number of oxidation states but the stability of \(- 2\) oxidation state decreases down the group. They are sometimes also known as group of chalcogens as the name is derived from the Greek word for brass and points to the association of sulphur and its congeners with copper. Their ionisation enthalpy decreases down the group. Oxygen shows anomalous behaviour due to its small size and high electronegativity.

\(G = \frac{\kappa A}{l}\)=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),
\(\Lambda_m = \kappa V\)
If the length \(l\) in the column of an electrolytic cell is halved and its area of cross-section is tripled, then conductance (\(G\)) would become:"CUET 2023 Hard - Rohit has been given two converging lenses of focal lengths 1.25 cm and 5 cm, respectively to design a compound microscope.

- Answer the question on the basis of passage given below :
Nitrogen differs from rest of the members of group 15 due to its small size, high electronegativity, high ionization enthalpy and non-availability of d orbitals. Nitrogen has unique ability to form pa - pa multiple bonds with itself and with other elements having small size and high electronegativity. Heavier elements of this group do not form pa - pr bonds as their atomic orbitals are so large and diffuse that they cannot have effective overlapping.
