Question 51.


The word root for a hydrocarbon with three carbon atoms is ________.


  1.     meth
  2.     eth
  3.     prop
  4.     but
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> prop
:
C
The word roots are selected based on the number of carbon atoms in the parent chain of the hydrocarbon. Given below are few word roots corresponding to the number of carbon atoms in the parent chain of the hydrocarbon.

Question 52.


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 53.


Pick out the suitable statements for the given compound.
CH3CH2CH2CH=CHCH3


  1.     It's a saturated compound
  2.     It's an alkene
  3.     General formula of the compound is CnH2n
  4.     IUPAC name is hex-4-ene
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> It's an alkene
:
B and C
The given compound is an unsaturated hydrocarbon because it contains a C=C bond. It is an alkene having the general formula CnH2n. The given compound is numbered as shown below.
CH36CH25CH24CH3=CH2CH31
 The compound has six carbon atoms in it and hence, the word root is 'hex'.
It has a double bond between the second and the third carbon atoms and hence, the suffix will be '2-ene'.
Therefore, the IUPAC name of the given compound is hex-2-ene.
Question 54.


Which amongst the following is not a characteristic of the homologous series?


  1.     The members of a homologous series can be represented by a general formula.
  2.     Successive members of a homologous series differ by a CH3 group.
  3.     The members of a homologous series show a similarity in chemical properties.
  4.     The physical properties in the series of compounds have a regular gradation.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Successive members of a homologous series differ by a CH3 group.
:
B
The characteristics of homologous series are:
(1) The members can be represented by the same general formula. For example, CnH2n for alkenes.

(2) Successive member differs by a CH2 group and not by a CH3 group.


(3) Members show similarity in chemical properties.


(4) There is a regular gradation in physical properties. For example, in alkanes as 'n' value increases, their boiling point increases. 


Question 55.


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 56.


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.
