Precise Chemistry Std. XII, Vol. II is intended for every Maharashtra State Board aspirant of Std. XII, Science. The scope, sequence, and level of the book are designed to match the new textbook issued by the Maharashtra State board. We understand that Board Examinations can be daunting and the stress of cracking the examination can often leave students struggling to make sense of the curriculum. With the examination in focus, the Precise Series has been specifically designed to make preparation easier, by providing a methodical and organized perspective of the curriculum, thus greatly improving the chances of scoring well. Chemistry is a science that has the potential to unlock the understanding of the natural world by allowing us to appreciate the changes that characterize matter interactions. In order to make sure that students fully grasp the nub of the subject, it is important to present such concepts meaningfully and in an easy to read format. In this vein, the Precise Chemistry book has been crafted to provide an exam-centric approach to the curriculum, while retaining the essence of the subject. Each chapter is thus structured to provide a conceptual foundation, in addition to offering ample practice for acing the board examination. Chemical formulae, bonding structures and chemical equations form the basic building blocks of Chemistry and students are advised to memorise them perfectly. To quote the Nobel prize winner, Marie Curie, “Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.” Knowing the simple and basic organic reactions covered in each chapter serves as a foundation for understanding the synthesis of more complex molecules. Students should take advantage of compilation of various organic reactions provided in the book to ascertain their command on solving organic reaction-based problems. A holistic preparation is the key to mastering any subject and conquering the board examination. Our Precise chemistry book adheres to our vision and achieves several goals: building concepts, developing competence to solve numericals, recapitulation and self-study —all while facilitating effective preparation of the chapter. The journey to create a complete book is strewn with triumphs, failures and near misses. If you think we’ve nearly missed something or want to applaud us for our triumphs, we’d love to hear from you. Please write to us on: [email protected] A book affects eternity; one can never tell where its influence stops.
Best of luck to all the aspirants! From, Publisher Edition: First

Substituted aniline containing electron releasing groups (ERG) such as CH3, –OCH3, NH2 is more basic than aniline. The ERG stabilises the cation, thereby increasing basicity. Substituted aniline containing electron withdrawing groups (EWG) such as –NO2, C6H5, SO3, COOH,
CN, X is less basic than aniline. The EWG destabilises the cation, thereby decreasing basicity. Thus, 4-nitroaniline will have higher pKb value than aniline.

Ans: On the basis of the source or origin, polymers are classified into three categories: i. Natural polymers: The polymers obtained from natural source are said to be natural polymers. e.g. cotton and linen. Natural polymers are further subdivided into two types: Plant polymer and animal polymers. ii. Synthetic polymers: These polymers are artificially prepared by polymerization of one monomer or
copolymerization of two or more monomers. e.g. nylon and terylene. Synthetic polymers are further divided into three subtypes: fibres, synthetic rubbers and plastics. iii. Semisynthetic polymers: Polymers which are derived from natural polymers are called semisynthetic
polymers. These are also called regenerated fibres. e.g. cellulose acetate rayon and cellulose nitrate. Q.8. How are natural polymers classified? Ans: Natural polymers are subdivided into two types: i. Plant polymers: These are obtained from plants. For example, cotton and linen are obtained from cotton plant
and flax plant respectively. Natural rubber is manufactured from the latex obtained from bark of rubber trees. ii. Animal polymers: These are derived from animal sources. For example, wool is obtained from hair of
sheep and silk is obtained from silkworm. *Q.9. What are synthetic resins? Name some natural and synthetic resins.

Q.15. How are polymers classified on the basis of structure? Give few examples of each. Ans: Depending upon how the monomers are linked together, that is, the chain configuration, polymers are
classified in three types: i. Linear or straight chain polymers: When the monomer molecules are joined together in a linear arrangement
the resulting polymer is straight chain polymer. It is obtained from bifunctional monomers or alkenes. e.g. PVC, high density polythene. ii. Branched chain polymers: Monomers having 3 functional groups or already having side chains give rise to
branched chain polymers. e.g. Low density polythene. iii. Three dimensional cross-linked polymers: Third type of arrangement is said to be cross linked or network
polymers where cross links are produced between linear chains. Cross linking results from polyfunctional monomers.
e.g. Bakelite, melamine. Note:

Addition polymerization is a process of formation of polymers by addition of monomers without loss of any
small molecules. ii. The repeating unit of an addition polymer has the same elemental composition as that of original monomer. iii. Compounds containing double bond undergo addition polymerization. It is also referred as vinyl
polymerization, since majority of monomers are from vinyl category such as: vinyl chloride (CH2 = CHCl), acrylonitrile (CH2 = CHCN) iv. Addition polymerization produces high molecular mass polymeric materials without formation of any
intermediate low molecular mass polymeric materials. v. Formation of polyethylene (polythene) from ethene is an example of addition polymerization.

*Q.21. Name some chain growth polymers. Ans: Chain growth polymers: polyacrylonitrile, polyvinylchloride, polythene, etc.
*Q.22. Explain in detail free radical mechanism involved during preparation of addition polymer. Ans: Free radical mechanism is most common in addition polymerization. It is also called chain reaction which
involves three distinct steps. These are as follows: i. Step 1: Chain initiation: a. The chain reaction is initiated by a free radical which is formed from an initiator (catalyst) such as
benzoyl peroxide, acetyl peroxide, tert-butyl peroxide, etc. b. For example, acetyl peroxide generates methyl radical as shown below:
c. The free radical (say R ) so formed attaches itself to the olefin (vinyl monomer) and produces a new radical, made up of two parts, namely, the attached radical and the monomer unit.
ii. Step 2: Chain propagation: a. The new radical formed in the initiation step reacts with another molecule of vinyl monomer, forming
another still bigger sized radical, which in turn reacts with another monomer molecule. b. The repetition of this sequence takes place very rapidly. It is called chain propagation. c. This step is very rapid and leads to high molecular mass radical.
iii. Step 3: Chain termination:
a. At some stage, termination of the growing chain takes place. It may occur by several processes. b. One mode of termination is by combination of two growing chain radicals. Q.23. Explain condensation polymerization. Ans: Condensation polymerization (or step growth polymerization): i. The process of formation of polymers from polyfunctional monomers with the elimination of some small
molecules such as water, hydrochloric acid, methanol, ammonia is called condensation polymerization. ii. In this type of polymerization, the chain growth occurs by a series of condensation steps until a high
molecular mass polymer is obtained. Therefore, it is also referred to as step growth polymerization. iii. Repeating units of condensation polymer do not have the same elemental composition as that of monomer. iv. Formation of terylene, a polyester polymer, from ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid is an example of
condensation polymerization.
In this reaction, an alcoholic OH group in ethylene glycol condenses with a carboxyl group in terephthalic acid by eliminating a water molecule to form an ester linkage.
Q.24. Explain ring opening polymerization. Ans: Ring opening polymerization: i. The polymerization that proceeds by addition of a single monomer unit (but never of larger units) to the
growing chain molecules is called ring opening polymerization. ii. Since the polymer chain grows step-wise, the ring opening polymerization is similar to condensation
polymerization.

Q.25. Use your brain power (Textbook page no. 325) What is the type of polymerization in the following examples? i. ii. Ans: i. Addition or chain growth polymerization. ii. Condensation or step growth polymerization.
*Q.26. Write the names of classes of polymers formed according to intermolecular forces and describe briefly their structural characteristics.
Ans: i. Polymers are classified into various categories on the basis of intermolecular forces as follows: a. Elastomers b. Fibres c. Thermoplastic polymers d. Thermosetting polymers ii. Their structural characteristics are as follows: a. Elastomers: 1. Elastomers have the property of elasticity in which a substance gets stretched by external force and
restores its original shape on release of that force. 2. Elastomers, the elastic polymers, have weak van der Waals type of intermolecular forces which permit
the polymer to be stretched. 3. A few crosslinks between the chains help the stretched polymer to retract to its original position on
removal of applied force. e.g. Vulcanized rubber, Buna-S, Buna-N, neoprene, etc. b. Fibres: 1. Polymeric solids which form threads are called fibres. 2. The fibres possess high tensile strength which is a property to have resistance to breaking under tension. 3. High tensile strength is due to the strong intermolecular forces like hydrogen bonding and strong
dipole-dipole forces. Due to these strong intermolecular forces the fibres are crystalline in nature. e.g. Polyamides (nylon 6,6), polyesters (terylene), etc. c. Thermoplastic polymers: 1. Thermoplastic polymers have the property of plasticity, that is, these polymers can be easily shaped or moulded. 2. They are capable of repeated softening on heating and hardening on cooling. 3. These polymers possess moderately strong intermolecular forces that are intermediate between
elastomers and fibres. e.g. Polythene, polystyrene, polyvinyls, etc. d. Thermosetting polymers: 1. Thermosetting polymers are rigid polymers. 2. During their formation, they have property of being shaped on heating; but they get hardened while
hot. Once hardened, they cannot be softened by heating and therefore cannot be remoulded. 3. This characteristic is the result of extensive cross linking by covalent bonds formed in the moulds
during hardening/setting process while hot. e.g. Bakelite, urea formaldehyde resin, etc.

*Q.28. Define the term: Synthetic fibres Ans: Man-made polymeric solids which form threads are called synthetic fibres. Q.29. State whether True or False. If false, rewrite the correct statement. i. The nature of linking the monomers depends upon the nature and number of functional groups in them. ii. Repeating units of condensation polymer have the same elemental composition as that of monomer. Ans: i. True ii. False
Repeating units of condensation polymer do not have the same elemental composition as that of monomer. Q.30. Give the classification of polymers on the basis of types of different monomers. Ans: On the basis of type of different monomers present, polymers are classified as homopolymers and copolymers. Q.31. Explain the terms: i. Homopolymers ii. Copolymers Ans: i. Homopolymers: a. The polymers which have only one type of repeating unit are called homopolymers.
b. They are formed from a single monomer. In certain cases, the repeating unit is formed by condensation of two distinct monomers.
e.g. Polythene, polypropene, Nylon 6, polyacrylonitrile, Nylon 6,6. ii. Copolymers:
a. The polymers which have two or more types of repeating units are called copolymers. b. They are formed by polymerization of two or more different types of monomers in presence of each other. c. The different monomer units are randomly sequenced in the copolymer. e.g. Buna-S, Buna-N.
+Q.32. Refer to the following table listing for different polymers formed from respective monomer. Identify from the list whether it is copolymer or homopolymer.
Sr. No. Monomer Polymers i. Ethylene Polyethylene ii. Vinyl chloride Polyvinyl chloride iii. Isobutylene Polyisobutylene iv. Acrylonitrile Polyacrylonitrile v. Caprolactum Nylon 6 vi. Hexamethylenediammoniumadipate Nylon-6,6 vii. Butadiene + styrene Buna-S
Ans: In each of first five cases, there is only one monomer which gives corresponding homopolymer. In the sixth case, hexamethylenediamine reacts with adipic acid to form the salt hexamethylenediammonium
adipate which undergoes condensation to form Nylon 6, 6. Hence, nylon-6,6 is homopolymer. The polymer Buna-S is formed by polymerization of the monomers: butadiene and styrene in presence of
each other. The repeating units corresponding to the monomers butadiene and styrene are randomly arranged in the polymer. Hence, Buna-S in copolymer.
*Q.33. Give one example each of homopolymer and copolymer. Ans: i. Homopolymer: Polythene. ii. Copolymer: Buna-S.
