29. Read the following text carefully and answer the questions that follow:
[4]
The f-block consists of elements in which 4f and 5f orbitals are progressively filled. They are placed in a
separate panel at the bottom of the periodic table. The names transition metals and inner transition metals are
often used to refer to the elements of d-and f-blocks respectively. The d–block occupies the large middle section
of the periodic table flanked between s and p blocks in the periodic table. In general, the electronic

configuration of the outer orbitals of these elements is (n - 1)d1-10ns1-2. The electronic configurations of outer

orbitals of Zn, Cd, Hg and Cn are represented by the general formula (n - 1)d10ns2. The transition metals and
their compounds also exhibit catalytic property and paramagnetic behaviour. Transition metal also forms an
alloy. An alloy is a

30. Read the following text carefully and answer the questions that follow: [4]
The solutions which boil at a constant temperature like a pure liquid and possess the same composition in
liquid, as well as vapour state are called azeotropes. The components of azeotropes cannot be separated by
fractional distillation. Only non-ideal solutions form azeotropes. Solutions with negative deviation form
maximum boiling azeotrope and the solutions with positive deviation form minimum boiling azeotrope. The
