Globular proteins have weak intermolecular forces of attraction and hence they are soluble in water.
24.
B) Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.
Explanation:
Cysteine can cross link peptide chains through disulphide bridge. Cross linking by disulphide bridge can occur either between the distant, properly oriented parts of the same polypeptide chain (as in oxytocin or vasopressin) or between different polypeptide chains.
25.
26.
(a) Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
27.
(d) (A) is incorrect statement and (R) is correct statement. \(\alpha\)-glycosidic linkage is present in maltose.

Because maltose is composed of two glucose units in which C-1 of one glucose unit is linked to C-4 of another glucose unit.
28.
(b) Both assertion and reason are wrong statements.
Glycine is not essential amino acid because it is produced in our body, so it may not be part of our diet.
29.
(d): Uracil occurs in RNA.
30.
(d): Benedict's solution, Tollens' reagent, Fehling's solution etc. are mild oxidising agents. They oxidise the aldoses and ketoses to the corresponding acids and get themselves reduced.
31.
(a): Under acidic condition, aniline gets protonated to anilinium ion (-NH3+ group). This is deactivating and m-directing group. Thus, controlled nitration of aniline mainly gives m-nitroaniline.
32.
(b): It is because hydrogen bonding is less pronounced in primary and secondary amines than that in alcohols or carboxylic acids and nitrogen is less electronegative than oxygen
33.
(c): Only primary aliphatic amines can be prepared by Gabriel phthalimide reaction.
34.
(a) Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.
35.
(b): Ni2+ configuration.
During rearrangement only one 3d-orbital may be made available by pairing the electrons. Thus, inner d2sp3 hybridisation is not possible. So, only sp3d2 (outer) hybridisation can occur.
36.
(a): When a monodentate ligand has two possible donor atoms and attached in two ways to the central metal atom then that ligand is called ambidentate ligand. This leads to linkage isomerism.
37.
(d) Hofmann's bromamide reaction is given by amide which on reaction with NaOX produces amine having one carbon less than amide. Hence, (A) is not correct but (R) is correct statement.
38.
(c) Benzene diazonium salts are soluble in water because they are ionic in nature. Thus, (A) is correct and R is incorrect.
39.
(b) \(\begin{equation} \left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{en})_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right]^{+} \end{equation}\)exist in cis and trans isomers out of which cis isomer will be optically active (cis-d-isomer) and (cis-l-isomer). Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
40.
(c) \(\begin{equation} \left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{en})_{3}\right] \mathrm{Cl}_{2} \end{equation}\) is more stable than \(\begin{equation} \left[\mathrm{Ni}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{6}\right] \mathrm{Cl}_{2} \end{equation}\), because \(\begin{equation} \left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{en})_{3}\right] \mathrm{Cl}_{2} \end{equation}\) is a chelating compound which are more stable than complexes with unidentate ligands as the dissociation of complex involves breaking of two bonds instead of one. \(\begin{equation} \left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{en})_{3}\right] \mathrm{Cl}_{2} \end{equation}\)show octahedral geometry with d8 configuration. (A) is correct but (R) is incorrect.
