Isomeric Alkynes and Catalytic Hydrogenation
Concept: Isomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements. Alkynes are hydrocarbons having at least one triple bond between two carbon atoms. Catalytic hydrogenation is the addition of hydrogen to an unsaturated organic compound in the presence of a catalyst. Catalytic hydrogenation of alkynes involves the addition of two hydrogen atoms across the triple bond, resulting in an alkane.
Explanation:
The given compound is 3-ethylhexane. The molecular formula of 3-ethylhexane is C8H18. The possible isomeric alkynes of C8H18 are:
1. Octyne-1
2. Octyne-2
3. Octyne-3
4. Octyne-4
5. Octyne-5
6. Octyne-6
Catalytic hydrogenation of octyne-1 and octyne-5 would result in the formation of the same product, i.e., 3-ethylhexane. Similarly, catalytic hydrogenation of octyne-2 and octyne-4 would also result in the formation of 3-ethylhexane. However, catalytic hydrogenation of octyne-3 and octyne-6 would result in the formation of different products.
Therefore, the total number of different isomeric alkynes that on catalytic hydrogenation gives the same 3-ethylhexane is 4.
Answer: The correct option is (C) 4.

Preeti Khanna answered |
The correct answer is option D
The clouds of electrons surrounding the sigma bond makes an alkyne an electron-rich molecule. They are therefore nucleophiles that react with electrophiles. Thus alkynes, like alkenes, undergo electrophilic addition reactions because of their weak pi bonds. When a proton adds to an alkyne, a vinylic cation is formed.

Om Desai answered |
In case 1, the bond is broken in oxygen’s favor and it will attain its octet. Also, carbon becomes sp2 hybridized, so there is a chance of polarity.
In case 2, if the bond is broken in favor of oxygen, then the ring will become anti-aromatic which is highly unstable and the bond won’t be broken in that way. If the bond is broken in favor of carbon in the ring, then although the ring becomes aromatic but oxygen will bear +ve charge which is very unstable. So, there is no chance to break the bond.
In case 3, if the double bond is broken in favor of oxygen, then oxygen will acquire a negative charge and the ring will become aromatic. So, it is a highly favorable case of double bond breaking.
Therefore, the order of polarity: - III>I>II

The correct answer is option C
CH³)²BrC*–CHBr–CH²–CH³
C* has no H attached to it hence the next Bromine cannot perform dehydrohalogenation using this Carbon. Therefore, triple bond formation is not possible in this compound.

In the compound I, Br will dispatch as Br+ so that a -ve charge appears on carbon which will give us 6π electrons. So ring will become aromatic.(4n+2 π electron is needed for aromaticity)
In compound II, Br will dispatch as Br-. So that carbon has +ve charge and all the double bond will circulate in the ring. This will maintain 4n+2 π electron and the molecule will remain as aromatic.
In compound II, Br will dispatch as Br-. So that carbon has +ve charge and all the double bond will circulate in the ring. This will maintain 4n+2 π electron and the molecule will remain as aromatic.

A Lindlar catalyst is a heterogeneous catalyst that consists of palladium deposited on calcium carbonate or barium sulphate which is then poisoned with various forms of lead or sulphur. It is used for the hydrogenation of alkynes to cis alkenes (i.e. without further reduction into alkanes) When the triple bond is (2-butyne) hydrogenated over the Lindlar’s catalyst i.e.Pd/CaCO3
it gives predominantly cis alkene(2-butene).
it gives predominantly cis alkene(2-butene).

When chlorine and Ethane are taken with chlorine in excess only then we have more than one product like chloroethane, dichloroethane, trichloroethane etc. To avoid this we should take Ethane in excess because when we will take it then in excess then we will have only single time chlorination and we will get monochloroethane.

For SO2Cl2: The reactivity patterns of SO2Cl2 and SOCl2 are quite different. SOCl2 is a good electrophile, and can be thought of as a source of Cl− ions. These ions can go on to react in their typical nucleophilic fashion. SO2Cl2 however is often a Cl2 source, as it readily decomposes giving off sulfur dioxide. Usually, much easier/safer to use this than measuring out (and getting into solution) chlorine gas. The chlorination of simple alkanes by Cl2 gas (or something that makes it in solution) happens by a radical mechanism i.e. Cl⋅ not Cl
For Cl2 and heat/light:

1. When ethyne is bubbled through ammoniacal silver nitrate solution , a yellow-white precipitate of silver acetylide would be formed.
C2H2 + 2AgNO3 = Ag2C2 + 2HNO3
2. Similarly, ethyne forms a red precipitate of copper acetylide (Cu2C2) when it is passed through ammoniacal cuprous chloride solution.
Ethene does not react with AgNO3 or Cu2Cl2 solution.

This is the case of allylic substitution. The radical will delocalise itself to two locations. And so, we will get two different positions for radical substitution.

The correct answers are options A & C
Adjacent hybrid orbitals are perpendicular to each other irrespective of the type of the hybridization. In 1,2-butadiene, adjacent 2× bonds are perpendicular to each other while in 1,3-butadiene, 2× bond and
1× bonds are adjacent to each other and the compound is a straight chain, so, the single bone and a double bond are perpendicular to each other and this is true for both the pairs of single and double bonds. Thus , both the pi orbitals in 1,3-butadiene are parallel to each other.

Preeti Iyer answered |
Ethylene reacts with HBr to form Ethyl bromide. The reaction propagates as follow:-
H2C=CH2 + HBr → H2C+-CH3 →H2BrC-CH3
Since π cloud is electron rich, so HBr dissociates into H+ and Br-. H+ attacks on alkene to give a carbocation and then Br- attacks to get ethyl bromide.

Rajat Kapoor answered |
The cis isomer in this case has a boiling point of 60.3 degC, while the trans isomer has a boiling point of 47.5 degC. In the cis isomer the two polar C-Cl bond dipole moments combine to give an overall molecular dipole, so that there are intermolecular dipole–dipole forces (or Keesom forces), which add to the London.

Lavanya Menon answered |
Compound I is having the highest acidic strength due to the -I effect of five CF3 substituents.
Compound II is having less acidic strength than I but more than the rest due to the extremely stable conjugate anion formed after deprrotonation.

Rajesh Gupta answered |
From the given example, Toluene is the compound that is more reactive towards electrophilic Nitration. Toluene has a CH3 group on benzene ring and due to plus hyperconjugation it activates the presence of electrons inside the ring. Why nitrobenzene and benzoic acid have - M effect,they will draw electron cloud from the benzene ring and have deactivated the benzene ring from electrophilic Nitration.

Siddharth Iyer answered |
The compound that reacts most readily with Br(g) is C3H6. Here's why:
Explanation:
When a compound reacts with Br(g), it undergoes a substitution reaction called bromination. In this reaction, a Br atom replaces a hydrogen atom in the compound. The reactivity of a compound towards bromination depends on its structure and the stability of the resulting product.
Comparing the compounds:
Let's compare the given compounds and analyze their structures to determine which one is most reactive towards bromination.
a) C2H2:
C2H2 is an alkyne with a triple bond between two carbon atoms. This triple bond is very strong and stable, making it difficult for Br(g) to break it and substitute a hydrogen atom. Therefore, C2H2 is less reactive towards bromination.
b) C3H6:
C3H6 is an alkene with a double bond between two carbon atoms. The double bond is weaker and less stable than a triple bond. Therefore, it is easier for Br(g) to break the double bond and substitute a hydrogen atom. This makes C3H6 more reactive towards bromination compared to C2H2.
c) C2H4:
C2H4 is also an alkene with a double bond between two carbon atoms, similar to C3H6. It has the same structure as C3H6, but it has fewer carbon atoms. Since the number of carbon atoms does not significantly affect the reactivity towards bromination, C2H4 is also reactive towards bromination, but less reactive compared to C3H6.
d) C4H10:
C4H10 is an alkane with only single bonds between carbon atoms. Alkanes are generally less reactive towards bromination because the single bonds are strong and stable. Breaking a single bond to substitute a hydrogen atom is more difficult for Br(g) compared to breaking a double or triple bond. Therefore, C4H10 is the least reactive towards bromination among the given compounds.
Conclusion:
Based on the structural analysis and the stability of the bonds, C3H6 is the most reactive compound towards bromination among the given options.

For option a
12 = [Ne]3s2 , 20 = [Ar]4s2 , 4 = [He]2s2 , 88 = [Ra]7s2.
For option b
8 = [He]2s22p4 , 16 = [Ne]3s23p4 , 34 = [Ar]4s23d104p4 , 2 = 1s2
We can see that only in option a, the last electrons enter in similar group. So, option a is correct.
Similarly we can check for option c and d as done above. However they won't fall in the same group.
