Question 1. Select the option that will complete the homologous series given below.
C2H4, C3H6, _______, C5H10, C6H12
  1.    C4H6
  2.    C4H10
  3.    C4H4
  4.    C4H8
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> C4H8
:
D
The homologous series given here is the alkene series. In a homologous series, every successive member differs by CH2 group. So, the successive member afterC3H6 in the given alkene homologous series isC4H8.
Question 2. The phenomenon of occurrence of same element in different physical forms is known as ___________.
  1.    catenation
  2.    allotropy
  3.    tetravalency
  4.    isotopes
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> allotropy
:
B
Allotropy is the property of some chemical elements to exist in two or more different forms in the same physical state.
Allotropes are the different structural modifications of an element, i.e., atoms are bonded together in different manner or arrangement.
Question 3. The functional group present in the given compound is _________.
The Functional Group Present In The Given Compound Is ______...
  1.    alcohol
  2.    carboxylic acid
  3.    aldehyde
  4.    ketone
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> aldehyde
:
C
The given compound has the formula CH3CH2CHO. As it has a -CHO group at terminal position, its IUPAC nomenclature is propanal. The functional group -CHO represents an aldehyde.
Question 4. Choose the correct option based on the statements given:
Statement 1: Carbon always share electrons to form a covalent bond with other elements.
Statement 2: C4+ and C4ions are highly unstable.
  1.    Both statements are correct but statement 2 is not the correct explanation for statement 1.
  2.    Both statements are correct and statement 2 is the correct explanation for statement 1.
  3.    Statement 1 is wrong but statement 2 is correct.
  4.    Statement 1 is correct but statement 2 is wrong.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Both statements are correct and statement 2 is the correct explanation for statement 1.
:
B
Carbon cannot donate or accept electrons to obtain noble gas configuration as C4 and C4+ are unstable in nature.
C4 is unstable because it would be difficult for the nucleus with six protons to hold on to ten electrons.
C4+ is unstable because it would require an excessively large amount of energy to remove four electrons.
Since both C4 and C4+ ions are unstable in nature, carbon overcomes this problem by sharing its valence electrons with other atoms to obtain the nearest noble gas electronic configuration.
Hence, the given statements are correct and statement 2 is correctly explainingstatement 1.
Question 5. The functional group present in the given compound is ________.
The Functional Group Present In The Given Compound Is ______...
  1.    alcohol
  2.    carboxylic acid
  3.    aldehyde
  4.    ketone
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> ketone
:
D
The given compound is propanone having the formula CH3COCH3. The functional group present in this compound is ketone as it has C=O group present in between two alkyl groups.
Question 6. The functional group in butan-1-ol is:
  1.    -OH
  2.    -COOH
  3.    -CHO
  4.    -NH2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> -OH
:
A
The IUPAC name of the given molecule,has '-ol' as its suffix.
'-ol' is the suffixforalcohols. Hence,the functional group of an alcohol is -OH.
The Functional Group In Butan-1-ol Is:
Question 7. The combination of which of the following compounds will give an ester?
  1.    Methanone and propanal
  2.    Methanal and propanol
  3.    Methanol and propanoic acid
  4.    Methanone and formic acid
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Methanol and propanoic acid
:
C
Esters are obtained from the reaction between carboxylic acid and alcohols.The reaction between methanoland propanoic acid in the presence of concentrated sulphuric acid leads to the formation of methyl propanoate, an ester.
CH3OH(aq)+CH3CH2COOH(aq)CH3CH2COOCH3(aq)+H2O(l)
Question 8. Chlorination of methane is an example of:
  1.    addition reaction
  2.    reduction reaction
  3.    dehydration reaction
  4.    substitution reaction
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> substitution reaction
:
D
A substitution reaction is a chemical reaction during which one atom or group of atoms in a chemical compound is replaced by another atom or group of atoms.
Chlorination of methane is a substitution reaction because chlorine atom replaces hydrogen atom from the methane molecule. The reaction occurs as follows:
CH4(g)+Cl2(g)sunlight−−−CH3Cl (g)+HCl (g)MethaneChlorineChloroHydrogenmethanechloride
Question 9. Identify the balanced chemical reaction of sodium with ethanol.
  1.    2Na + CH3CH2OH →2CH3CHO + 2NaH
  2.    2Na + CH3CH2OH →2CH3CH2Na + H2O
  3.    2Na + 2CH3CH2OH →2CH3CH2ONa + H2
  4.    2Na + CH3CH2OH →CH3CH2ONa + H2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 2Na + 2CH3CH2OH →2CH3CH2ONa + H2
:
C
The reaction between sodium and alcohol is ametal-acidreaction. Metals generally liberate hydrogen on reacting with acids.
Ethanol reacts with sodium leading to the evolution of hydrogen and sodium ethoxide. The reaction occurs as follows:
2Na(s)+2CH3CH2OH(aq)2CH3CH2ONa(aq)+H2(g)
Question 10. Which of the following is an example of homologous series?
  1.    Methane, Ethane, Propene, Butane
  2.    Methanal, Ethanal, Propanol, Butanal
  3.    Methanol, Ethanol, Propanol, Butanol
  4.    Ethane, Propane, Butane, Pentene
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Methanol, Ethanol, Propanol, Butanol
:
C
A homologous series is a series of carbon compounds that have different number of carbon atoms but contain the same functional group and the consecutive members differ by a CH2 group.
Methanol, ethanol, propanol and butanol are all alcohols and hence, belong to the same homologous series. They differ from each other by one CH2 group.
In all the other options, even though they have same functional groups, the type of C-C bonds are different.
