  3.    eight
  4.    nine
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> seven
:
B
A covalent bond involves the sharing of electron pairs between two elements. Given below is the structure of ethane, having molecular formula C2H6:
Ethane, With The Molecular Formula C2H6, Has ____ Covalent B...
Ethane has sevencovalent bonds, i.e., sixC-H bonds and one C-C bond.
Question 22. Identify X in the given reaction.
CH3CH2OH(aq)XCH2=CH2(g)+H2O(l)
  1.    Alkaline KMnO4
  2.    Acidified KMnO4
  3.    Dilute H2SO4
  4.    Concentrated H2SO4
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Concentrated H2SO4
:
D
The given reaction is a dehydration reaction in which ethanol is when heated with concentrated sulphuric acid at 443 K givesethene and water.
In this reaction, conc.H2SO4 is used because it is a strong dehydrating agent. The reaction occurs as follows:
CH3CH2OH(aq)Hotconc.H2SO4−−−−−−−−−CH2=CH2(g)+H2O(l)
Therefore, X is concentrated sulphuric acid.
Question 23. Arrange single, double and triple bonds in decreasing order of their strengths.
  1.    Double bond > Single bond > Triple bond
  2.    Triple bond < Double bond < Single bond
  3.    Triple bond = Single bond = Double bond
  4.    Triple bond > Double bond > Single bond
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Triple bond > Double bond > Single bond
:
D
As the number ofsharedelectronsincreases, the bond strength increases.
In a triple bond, a total of6 electrons are shared. In a double bond, 4 electrons are shared and in a single bond, only 2 electrons are shared. Thus, the bond strength is as follows:
Triple bond > Double bond > Single bond.
Question 24. The molecular formula of the given compound is ________.
The Molecular Formula Of The Given Compound Is ________.
  1.    C6H6
  2.    C6H12
  3.    C6H18
  4.    C6H9
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> C6H12
:
B
In line structure representation of carbon compounds, each line represents a C-C bond and the remaining valencies are satisfied by hydrogen atoms.
The expanded structure is given below.
The Molecular Formula Of The Given Compound Is ________.
The compound is called cyclohexane. Its molecular formula is C6H12.
Question 25. What is the name of the compound given below?
What Is The Name Of The Compound given Below?
  1.    But-2-ene
  2.    But-1-yne
  3.    Butane
  4.    Butene
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Butane
:
C
The compound given has fourcarbon atoms so the word root for this compound is 'but'.
Since all the carbon atoms are bonded to each other by only single bonds, this compound is an alkane and thesuffix in this case will be '-ane'.
Therefore, the name of this compound is butane.
Question 26. Detergents are ammonium or sulphonate salts of long chain _________.
  1.    Aldehydes
  2.    Ketones
  3.    Carboxylic acids
  4.    Alcohols
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Carboxylic acids
:
C
Detergents are ammonium or sulphonate salts of long chain carboxylic acids. So the resulting compound is called sulphonic acid. Sulphonic acids are used in making detergents while carboxylic acids (fatty acids) are used in soap making processes.
Question 27.


Which of the following are the allotropes of carbon?


  1.     Carbon dioxide
  2.     Diamond
  3.     Carbon monoxide
  4.     Graphite
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Diamond
:
B and D

Allotropy is the property of some chemical elements to exist in two or more forms.
Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide are compounds formed by the different combinations of carbon and oxygen.
Allotropes of carbon contain only carbon atoms in them which are bonded in different manner. Examples: diamond, fullerene and graphite. 


Question 28.


Identify X in the given reaction.
CH3CH2OH(aq)XCH2=CH2(g)+H2O(l)


  1.     Alkaline KMnO4
  2.     Acidified KMnO4
  3.     Dilute H2SO4
  4.     Concentrated H2SO4
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Concentrated H2SO4
:
D
The given reaction is a dehydration reaction in which ethanol is when heated with concentrated sulphuric acid at 443 K gives ethene and water.
In this reaction, conc.H2SO4 is used because it is a strong dehydrating agent. The reaction occurs as follows:
CH3CH2OH(aq) Hot conc. H2SO4−−−−−−−−− CH2=CH2(g) + H2O(l)
Therefore, X is concentrated sulphuric acid.
Question 29.


Arrange single, double and triple bonds in decreasing order of their strengths.


  1.     Double bond > Single bond > Triple bond
  2.     Triple bond < Double bond < Single bond
  3.     Triple bond = Single bond = Double bond
  4.     Triple bond > Double bond > Single bond
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Triple bond > Double bond > Single bond
:
D

As the number of shared electrons increases, the bond strength increases. 


In a triple bond, a total of 6 electrons are shared. In a double bond, 4 electrons are shared and in a single bond, only 2 electrons are shared. Thus, the bond strength is as follows:


Triple bond > Double bond > Single bond. 


Question 30.


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)Methane  Chlorine          Chloro         Hydrogen                                          methane       chloride
