2. At present, many schools and universities have been implementing internet-based learning, as
it supplements the conventional teaching methods. The internet provides a wide variety of
references and information to academics as well as scientific researchers. Students often
turn to it to do their academic assignments and projects.
3. However, research on the Net is very
different from traditional library research,
and the differences can cause problems. The
Net is a tremendous resource, but it must be
used carefully and critically.
4. According to a 2018 Academic Student e-book
Experience Survey, conducted by LJ’s
research department and sponsored by
EBSCO, when reading
 for pleasure, almost 74% of respondents said they preferred print books for
leisure whereas, 45 % of respondents chose e-books rather than the printed
versions, for research or assignments.
5. When asked what e-book features make them a favourite for research, the respondents were
clear. Having page numbers to use in citations, topped the list (75%); followed by the ability to
resize text to fit a device’s screen (67%); the ability to bookmark pages, highlight text, or take
notes for later reference (60%); downloading the entire e-book (57%); and allowing content to
be transferred between devices (43%) were the varied responses.

uniform electric field is zero, so no work is done in moving the electric dipole in uniform electric field.

22. Case Study Question 3 :

When an insulator is placed in an external field, the dipoles become aligned. Induced surface charges on the
insulator establish a polarization field Ēi in its interior. The net field Ē in the insulator is the vector sum of Ē,

On the application of external electric field, the effect of aligning the electric dipoles in the insulator is
called

5) Give reasons for the following observations:

a. Aniline is acetylated before nitration reaction.
b. pKb of aniline is smaller than the m-nitro aniline.
c. Primary amine on treatment with benzene sulfonyl chloride forms a product which is soluble in NaOH,
however secondary amine gives product which is insoluble in NaOH.

6) Write the structures of main products when benzene diazonium chloride reacts with the following reagents.
a) CuCN
b) CH3CH2OH
c) KI

7) Benzene ring in aniline is highly activated. This is due to the sharing of lone pair of nitrogen with the ring
which results in increase in the electron density on the ring and hence facilitates the electrophilic attack. The
substitution mainly takes place at Ortho and para positions because electron density is more at Ortho and
para positions. On reaction with aqueous bromine all the ortho and para position get substituted resulting in
the formation of 2,4,6- tribromoaniline. To get a monobromo compound, the amino group is acetylated
before bromination. After bromination, the bromoacetanilide is acid hydrolysed to give the desired
halogenated amine.
a) Why does -NH2 group facilitates electrophilic attack in aniline?
b) Explain why: in aniline, the substitution mainly takes place at Ortho and Para positions.
c) Show the conversion of benzene into aniline.

8) In amines the N atoms of the amino group are Sp3hybridised. Amines readily lose its electron pair and act as
a base. In aliphatic amines, the alkyl group tends to increase the electron density on the nitrogen atom due to
the +I effect. In aromatic amines, the basic strengths are influenced by the presence of an electron
withdrawing group at the O-, m- and p- position in the ring.
a) Lower member of aliphatic amines is soluble in water. Why?
b) Out of (CH3)3N and (CH3)2NH which one is more basic in aqueous solution?
c) Which isomer of C3H9N which does not react with Hinsberg’s reagent.
