Question 1. Select the most stable carbocation among the following?
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:
B
Tertiary carbocation is most stable among primary, secondary and tertiary due to more hyper conjugation.
Question 2. The movement of electrons in which one of the structure is not shown correctly?
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:
D
In p-nitrophenol, NO2group is an electron withdrawing group but in structure (d) it is shown as electron releasing group.
Question 3. Which of the following free radicals is pyramidal?
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:
B
All free radicals have planar geometry but bicyclo compounds free radical has a pyramidal shape.
Because of steric strain, the carbon atom carrying the unpaired electron cannot assume a planar geometry.
Question 4. The dipole moment is the highest for?
 
  1.    Trans-2-butene
  2.    1, 3-Dimethylbenzene
  3.    Acetophenone
  4.    Ethanol
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Acetophenone
:
C
The Dipole Moment Is The Highest For? 
The dipole moment is the highest for Acetophenone because of -M effect.
Question 5. The addition of HCl to vinyl chloride gives 1,1-dichloroethane because of?
 
  1.    Mesomeric effect of Cl
  2.    Inductive effect of Cl
  3.    Restricted rotation around double bond
  4.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> None of these
:
D
CH2||CH|Cl+HCl CH3|CHClCl
(1,1-dichloroethane)
It is an addition reaction which is according to Markownikoff rule.

Question 6. All bonds in benzene are equal due to?
 
  1.    Tautomerism
  2.    Inductive effect
  3.    Resonance
  4.    Isomerism
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Resonance
:
C
All Bonds In Benzene Are Equal Due To? 
All the bonds (C-C) are equal in benzene. The
C-C bond length is 1.39A which is in between
C-C bond (1.54A ) abd C=C (1.34A).
Question 7. The hybridization of carbons labelled 3, 4 and 5 in
HC1C2C3H=C4=C5HC6H=C7H2 are?
  1.    SP2 only
  2.    Sp2 in C-4 and SP3 in 3 and 5
  3.    Sp2 in C-3 and C-5 and SP in C-4
  4.    SP only
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Sp2 in C-3 and C-5 and SP in C-4
:
C
Carbon which has 3σ bonds and 1π bond in C-3 and C-5 sp2 hybridised.
Carbon which has 3σ bonds and 1π bond as in C-4 is sp hybridised.
Question 8. Each carbon atom in benzene is in which state of hybridization?
  1.    sp3
  2.    sp2
  3.    sp
  4.    s3p
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> sp2
:
B
Look at the structure of benzene.
Each Carbon Atom In Benzene Is In Which State Of Hybridizati...
Every carbon atom in the benzene ring has a double bond with a neighbouring carbon atom and a single bond with another carbon atom. It is also bonded to one hydrogen atom with a single bond.
So, each carbon atom has 3 sigma bonds and 1 pi bond. This is possible only if the carbon atom issp2 hybridized where we get 3 sp2 hybrid orbitals to form 3 sigma bonds and 1 unhybridised p orbital to form a pi bond.
Another feature of sp2 hybridisation is that it leads to a trigonal planar geometry which is also true in this case.
Question 9. The most common type of reaction in aromatic compounds is?
 
  1.    Elimination reaction 
  2.    Addition reaction
  3.    Electrophilic substitution reaction
  4.    Rearrangement reaction 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Electrophilic substitution reaction
:
C
It so happens that the most common type of reaction in aromatic compounds is an electrophilic substitution reaction.
This is because the benzene molecule is electron-rich.
Question 10. The compound in which carbon uses only its sp3 hybrid orbitals for bond formation is?
 
  1.    HCOOH
  2.    (NH2)2CO
  3.    (CH3)3COH
  4.    (CH3)3CHO
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> (CH3)3COH
:
C
