Total Questions : 30 | Page 1 of 3 pages
Question 1.


Tautomerism is exhibited by:


  1.     CH3CNO
  2.     (CH3)2NH
  3.     R3CO2H
  4.     RCH2NO2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> RCH2NO2
:
D
Nitro compound exhibit tautomerism RCH2NO2
Question 2.


1-Chloropropane and 2-Chloropropane are: 


  1.     Metamerism 
  2.     Functional isomerism
  3.     Position isomerism
  4.     Tautomers
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Position isomerism
:
C
In 1-Chloropropane and 2-Chloropropane, the position of chlorine is different . Hence, they are position isomers.
1-Chloropropane And 2-Chloropropane Are: 
Question 3.


Number of functional isomer(s) of CH3COOH is/are?


  1.     4
  2.     3
  3.     2
  4.     1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 1
:
D
Ester is the only functional isomer of carboxylic acid.
For example, 
Number Of Functional Isomer(s) Of CH3COOH Is/are?
 
Question 4.


CH3COOC2H5 and C2H5COOCH3 exhibit?


  1.     Metamerism
  2.     Functional isomerism
  3.     Position isomerism
  4.     Tautomers
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Metamerism
:
A
CH3COOC2H5 and C2H5COOCH3 , the alkyl groups on either side are different. Hence, they are metamers.
The difference is that in the first one a methyl group is attached to the carbon whereas in the second an ethyl group is attached to the carbon. 
 
Question 5.


Which of the following is not an isomer of butanal?


  1.     2-Butanone
  2.     2-Methyl propanal
  3.     2-Butanol
  4.     None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 2-Butanol
:
C
Aldehydes and ketones can be functional isomers. But alcohols are not isomeric with aldehydes.
You can just write down the structures of each and count the number of carbons, hydrogens, and oxygens to be certain. 

Question 6.


Which of the following is not isomeric with diethyl ether?


  1.      methyl n-propyl ether
  2.     1-Butanol
  3.     2-Methyl-2-propanol
  4.     Butanone
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Butanone
:
D
Ketone cannot be an isomer of ether. No matter how you arrange diethyl ether, you cannot get a ketone compound. 
First one is simple right? Just remove one carbon on one side and add to the other side.

C2H5OC2H5     →    C3H7OCH3
It can also become an alcohol. We need to add one hydrogen to the oxygen and shift it to the end.
C2H5OC2H5     →    CH3CH2CH2OH
For third one, follow similar procedure as above. Just use a 3 carbon chain.
Question 7.


CH3CH2CH2OH and CH3CH2OCH3 are:


  1.     Metamerism
  2.     Functional isomerism
  3.     Position isomerism
  4.     Tautomers
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Functional isomerism
:
B
Alcohols and ethers are functional isomers.
Question 8.


An isomer of ethanol is: 


  1.     methanol 
  2.     diethyl ether
  3.     acetone
  4.     dimethyl ether
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> dimethyl ether
:
D
Isomers have same molecular formula but differ in their structures or in spatial arrangement.

Question 9.


The hydrocarbon containing a continuous chain which is isomeric with 2-methyl-3-ethylhexane is?


  1.     Hexane
  2.     Octane
  3.     Nonane
  4.     Decane
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Nonane
:
C
Structure of 2-methyl-3-ethylhexane is           C|CH3H3C2H5|CHCHCB2CH2CH3  
It contains 9 carbon atoms.
So, a 9 carbon straight chain can be made which is nonane. 

Question 10.


Which of the following compounds will exhibit cis-trans isomerism? 


  1.     2-butene
  2.     2-butyne
  3.     2-butanol
  4.     butanal
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 2-butene
:
A
The compounds with each doubly bonded carbon attached to two different groups (like Cab=Cab, Cab=Ccd) exhibit geometrical isomerism i.e., cis and trans forms. The geometrical isomerism arises due to the restricted rotation of the double bond.
However, even though there is restricted rotation for a triple bond, alkynes do not exhibit geometrical isomerism, since the triply bonded carbons are attached to only one group each.
