Question 11. The Above Reaction Proceeds Through 
The above reaction proceeds through
 
  1.    Nucleophilic substitution 
  2.    Electrophilic substitution 
  3.    Free radical substitution
  4.    More than one of the above processes 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Free radical substitution
:
C
This is a good example of a photochemical reaction. A reaction brought about by light.
The Above Reaction Proceeds Through 
One of the hydrogen atoms in the methyl group has been replaced by a chlorine atom, so this is a substitution reaction. However, the reaction doesn't stop there, and all three hydrogens in the methyl group can, in turn, be replaced by chlorine atoms.
Question 12. The compound which has only primary and tertiary carbons is?
  1.    2-methylbutane
  2.    2,3-dimethylbutane
  3.    2-chloropropane
  4.    2,2- dimethylpropane
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 2,3-dimethylbutane
:
B
C1H3C3H|C2H3C5H|C4H3C6H3
Carbons labelled 2 & 3 are tertiary carbons, it is carbon attached with 3 other carbon atoms and rest of the carbons are primary in nature.
Question 13. Condensation reactions are those in which two organic reactions are replaced with each other
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    (CH3)3COH
  4.    (CH3)3CHO
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Condensation Reaction?
In these Reactions, two same or different organic reactants unite to give a product withthe elimination of another simple molecule.
Question 14. In each of the following pairs of ions which ion is more stable?
In Each Of The Following Pairs Of Ions Which Ion Is More Sta...
  1.    I,I,I,I
  2.    I,I,II,II
  3.    II,II,I,I
  4.    II,II,II,II
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> I,I,II,II
:
B
For part 1., we have to choose the more stable of benzyl and allyl
carbocations. The benzyl carbocation has more resonance contributors.
In theory, it can be considered to be more stable.
For part 2., we have to choose the more stable cation between an
1 alkyl and a vinyl cation. The latter is more unstable because
the positive charge rests on a carbon having a double bond- which has
more %s-character and is thus more electronegative than the alkane's
carbon bearing the positive charge. The primary alkyl carbocation is thus
more stable.
For part 3., we have a straightforward case where an allyl carbocation is
more stable than a primary alkyl carbocation.
For part 4., the lone pair on the adjacent nitrogen stabilizes the positive charge.
Hence the resonance stabilized carbocation is more stable!
Question 15. Among the following compounds, the one which can be dehydrated very easily is?
  1.    CH3 − CH2 − CH3|C|OH−CH2−CH3
  2.    CH3 − CH2 − CH2 − OH|CH − CH3
  3.    CH3 − CH2 − CH2 − CH2 − CH2 − OH
  4.    CH3 − CH2 − CH|CH3 − CH2 − CH2 − OH
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> CH3 − CH2 − CH3|C|OH−CH2−CH3
:
A
CH3CH2CH3|C|OHCH2CH3H+
CH3CH2CH3|C|CH2CH3
Higher the stability of the carbocation, more easily it will be dehydrated.
Question 16. Which one of the following orders is correct regarding the inductive effect of the substituents?
  1.    −NR2−F
  2.    −NR2>−OR>−F
  3.    −NR2
  4.    −NR2>−OR
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> −NR2
:
C
Relative inductive effects have been experimentally measured with reference to hydrogen, in decreasing order of -I effect or increasing order of +I effect, as follows:
–NH3+> –NO2> –SO2R > –CN > –SO3H > –CHO > –CO > –COOH > –COCl> –CONH2>
–F > –Cl > –Br > –I > –OR > -OH > –NH2> –C6H5> –CH=CH2> –H
From this, you can get the required answer.
Question 17. The total number of  pi-bonds in CH2=CHCH=CHCCH are ______.
  1.    two
  2.    three
  3.    four
  4.    five

  1.    NO2
  2.    NO3
  3.    NO
  4.    NO+2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> NO+2
:
D
The process of nitration takes place as below
HONO2+2H2SO4 H3O++2HSO4+NO+2
(nitronium ion)
The electrophile responsible for nitration is
NO+2 ion.
Question 20. Shape of the methane molecule is ________.
  1.    square planar
  2.    tetrahedral
  3.    trigonal planar
  4.    pyramidal
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> tetrahedral
:
B
Carbon has four electrons in its valence shell. In methane molecule, the carbon atom forms covalent bonds with four different hydrogen atoms. There are no lone pairs on carbon atom. Therefore, the four hydrogen atoms are arranged at four corners of tetrahedron and carbon at the centre of the tetrahedron. The structure of methane molecule is tetrahedral.
Shape Of The Methane Molecule Is ________.
