NCERT Exemplar Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 13 - Amines - Free PDF Download

NCERT Exemplar Chapter 13 contains approximately 45–55 questions across all types: MCQ Type I, MCQ Type II (multiple correct), Short Answer, Matching Type, Assertion-Reason, and Long Answer. The exact count may vary slightly by edition. Download the PDF above to access the complete and most current version.

NCERT Exemplar is highly sufficient for scoring well in Board exams when used correctly. The Exemplar covers all HOT (Higher Order Thinking) question patterns used by CBSE. Pair it with NCERT textbook theory and previous year Board papers. For students targeting 90+, solving the Exemplar at least twice — once before revision and once after — gives measurable improvement in conceptual accuracy.

NCERT Exemplar Chapter 13 covers all topics under Amines as per the CBSE Class 12 syllabus: classification and nomenclature of amines, preparation (reduction of nitro compounds, Gabriel synthesis, Hoffmann bromamide degradation), physical properties, chemical reactions including basicity, reactions with acids and acyl chlorides, properties of aniline, and diazonium salt reactions including Sandmeyer, Gattermann, and azo coupling.

Solved answers for the NCERT Exemplar Chapter 13 Amines are available through eSaral's NCERT Solutions platform. For complete chapter-wise solved solutions across Class 12 Chemistry, visit the NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Chemistry page. Each solution includes full reaction mechanisms, conditions, and step-wise explanations written by IIT Bombay faculty.

Both reactions convert diazonium salts into aryl halides. Sandmeyer reaction uses cuprous salts (CuCl, CuBr, or CuCN) as reagents. Gattermann reaction uses copper powder along with HCl or HBr. The Sandmeyer reaction gives better yields and is more commonly tested in both CBSE Board and JEE questions. Remembering this distinction correctly avoids the most frequent error in diazonium salt questions.

Yes. JEE Main organic chemistry questions on Amines frequently test basicity order, reaction mechanisms (especially diazonium salt reactions), and distinction tests — all of which are covered in the Exemplar. Type II MCQs and Assertion-Reason questions in the Exemplar closely mirror JEE Main difficulty. Students preparing for JEE should treat the Exemplar as a minimum baseline, not a ceiling.
