Q.1. Arrange the following in decreasing order of their boiling points.
(A) n–butane
(B) 2–methyl butane
(C) n-pentane
(D) 2,2–dimethylpropane
(a) A > B > C > D
(b) B > C > D > A
(c) D > C > B > A
(d) C > B > D > A
Ans. (d) C > B > D > A
Solution: Boiling point is directly proportional to molar mass and surface area. It decreases on branching because surface area decreases. Hence, n-pentane has the highest and n-butane has the lowest boiling points and in rest two branching is there, therefore,2-methyl butane has higher boiling point than 2,2-dimethylpropane.
Q.2. Arrange the halogens F2, Cl2, Br2, I2, in order of their increasing reactivity with alkanes.
(a) I2 < Br2 < Cl2 < F2
(b) Br2 < Cl2 < F2 < I2
(c) F2 < Cl2 < Br2 < I2
(d) Br2 < I2 < Cl2 < F2
Ans. (a) I2 < Br2 < Cl2 < F2
Solution: Fluorine is highly electronegative element. Electronegativity of halogens decreases down the group. As the electronegativity of halogens decreases, reactivity with alkanes, decreases. Therefore, F2 reacts vigorously and I2 reacts too slow.
Q.3. The increasing order of reduction of alkyl halides with zinc and dilute HCl is
(a) R–Cl < R–I < R–Br
(b) R–Cl < R–Br < R–I
(c) R–I < R–Br < R–Cl
(d) R–Br < R–I < R–Cl
Ans. (b) R-Cl < R-Br < R-I
Solution: The reactivity of halogens with alkane is F2 > Cl2 > Br2 > l2- Hence, reduction of alkyl halide with Zn / HCl follow reverse order. The reactivity of reduction increases as the bond strength of C—X decreases. It depends on the size of X. As the size of X increases, bond strength decreases and reactivity increases.
Q.4. The correct IUPAC name of the following alkane is
(a) 3,6 – Diethyl – 2 – methyloctane
(b) 5 – Isopropyl – 3 – ethyloctane
(c) 3 – Ethyl – 5 – isopropyl octane
(d) 3 – Isopropyl – 6 – ethyl octane
Ans. (a) 3, 6-Diethyl-2-methyl octane
Solution: The given alkane has the longest chain of 8 carbon atoms hence, it is Octane. Sidechain on carbon 2, 3 and 6 follow lowest sum rule. On carbon 2-methyl, on carbon-3-and carbon-6 ethyl groups are present. Ethyl comes before methyl (alphabetically) and two ethyl groups are there. Hence the correct IUPAC name is 3, 6-Diethyl-2-methyl octane.
Q.5. The addition of HBr to 1-butene gives a mixture of products A, B and C
(A)
(B)
(C) CH3 - CH2 - CH2 - CH2 - Br
The mixture consists of
(a) A and B as major and C as minor products
(b) B as major, A and C as minor products
(c) B as minor, A and C as major products
(d) A and B as minor and C as major products
Ans. (a) A and B as major and C as minor products
Solution: Butane-1 is unsymmetrical, and according to Markovnikov’s rule, 2- Bromobutane is major product and I-Bromobutane is minor product. 2-Bromobutane has chiral carbon, hence it exists in two enantiomers which are mirror images of each other. Therefore, the mixture consists of A and B as major and C as minor product.
Q.6. Which of the following will not show geometrical isomerism?
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Ans. (d)
Solution: Geometrical isomerism is shown by the alkenes in which double bonded carbons must have different atoms or groups. In structure (iv), double bonded carbons have 3 groups same and one is different.
Q.7. Arrange the following hydrogen halides in order of their decreasing reactivity with propene.
(a) HCl > HBr > HI
(b) HBr > HI > HCl
(c) HI > HBr > HCl
(d) HCl > HI > HBr
Ans. (c) HI > HBr >HCl
Solution: Reactivity of hydrogen halides depends upon bond dissociation energy and bond strength. As the size of halogen atom increases in hydrogen halides, the bond strength decreases and bond dissociation energy also decreases Therefore, the correct order of reactivity is HI > HBr > HCl.
Q.8. Arrange the following carbanions in order of their decreasing stability.
(A) H3C – C ≡ C–
(B) H – C ≡ C–
(C) H3C – CH2
(a) A > B > C
(b) B > A > C
(c) C > B > A
(d) C > A > B
Ans. (c) C > B > A
Solution: +I effect decreases the stability of carbon anion. Since CH3 group has + I effect. In B, there is no +I effect, in A, + I effect is there but distance is more from negatively charged carbon and in C, +I effect (CH3) direct to negatively charged carbon.
Q.9. Arrange the following alkyl halides in decreasing order of the rate of β– elimination reaction with alcoholic KOH.
(1)
(2) CH3—CH2—Br
(3) CH3—CH2—CH2—Br
(a) A > B > C
(b) C > B > A
(c) B > C > A
(d) A > C > B
Ans. (d) A > C > B
Solution: Alkyl halides on heating with alc. KOH eliminates one molecule halogen acid and to form alkene. Hydrogen is eliminated from beta carbon atom. Nature of alkyl groups determines rate of reaction. Order of reactivity is 3° > 2° >1° or A > C > B.

Solution: The given compound has the longest chain of ten carbon atoms and side-chain is present on 5th carbon atom. The sidechain of 5 carbon atoms is neo-Pentyl and in IUPAC system it is 2’, 2’-Dimethylpropyl. Hence, the names of the compound are:
(1) 5-(2’, 2'-Dimethylpropyl)-decane
(4) 5-neo-Pentyldecane
Q.15. For an electrophilic substitution reaction, the presence of a halogen atom in the benzene ring _______.
(a) Deactivates the ring by inductive effect.
(b) Deactivates the ring by resonance.
(c) Increases the charge density at ortho and para position relative to meta position by resonance.
(d) Directs the incoming electrophile to meta position by increasing the charge density relative to ortho and para position.
Ans. (a) and (c)
Solution: For an electrophilic substitution reaction, the presence of halogen atom in the benzene ring deactivates the ring by inductive effect and increases the charge density at ortho- and para-position relative to meta-position by resonance.
When chlorine is attached to benzene ring, chlorine being more electronegative pulls the electrons because of its -I-effect. The electron cloud of benzene becomes less dense. Thus, chlorine makes the benzene ring in aryl halide somewhat deactivated. But due to resonance, the electron density on ortho- and para-positions is greater than on meta-position.
The last structure contributes more to the orientation and hence halogens are o- and p- directors.
Q.16. In an electrophilic substitution reaction of nitrobenzene, the presence of nitro group ________.
(a) Deactivates the ring by inductive effect.
(b) Activates the ring by inductive effect.
(c) Decreases the charge density at ortho and para position of the ring relative to meta position by resonance.
(d) Increases the charge density at meta position relative to the ortho and para positions of the ring by resonance.
Ans. (a) and (c)
Solution: Nitro group deactivates the benzene ring due to -I effect and decreases electron density at ortho and para positions than meta position. An electrophile attacks on meta position.
Q.17. Which of the following are correct?
(a) CH3—O— CH2⊕ is more stable than CH3— CH2⊕
(b) (CH3)2 CH⊕ is less stable than CH3—CH2— CH2⊕
(c) CH2 = CH— CH2⊕ is more stable than CH3—CH2— CH2⊕
(d) CH2 = CH⊕ is more stable than CH3— CH2⊕
Ans. (a) and (c)
Solution: +I effect increases stability of carbonation.
In (1), +I effect of CH3—O is greater than —CH3. Hence, CH3—O— CH2+ is more stable than CH3 — CH2+.
In (3), CH2=CH— +CH2—CH=CH2 is stabilized by resonance effect. While CH3— CH2— is stabilized by + I effect -C2H5 group. Resonance effect is stronger than +1 effect. Hence, CH2=CH—CH2+ is more stable than CH3-CH2-CH2+
Q.18. Four structures are given in options (i) to (iv). Examine them and select the aromatic structures.
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Ans. (a, c)
In both these options, rings are planar and follow (4n + 2)π-electrons rule.
Solution: (a)2 delocalized π - electrons, (4n + 2) rule followed (where n=0)
(c)Both rings have 6π - electrons, (4n + 2) rule followed (where n = 1)
Cyclooctatetraene is non-planar and has 8π-electrons. It is not aromatic. Cyclopropenyl anion is planar but has 4 π -electrons. It is not aromatic.
Q.19. The molecules having dipole moment are __________.
(a) 2,2-Dimethylpropane
(b) trans-Pent-2-ene
(c) cis-Hex-3-ene
(d) 2, 2, 3, 3 - Tetramethylbutane.
Ans. (b, c)
Solution:
Since, the +1 effect of CH2CH3 group is higher than that of CH3 group, therefore, the dipole moments of C-CH3 and C-CH2CH3 bonds are unequal. Although these two dipoles oppose each other, yet they do not exactly cancel out each other and hence trans-2-pentene has small but finite dipole moment.
In cis-hex-3-ene, although the dipole moments of the two C – CH2CH3 bond are equal, but they are inclined to each other at an angle of 60° and hence have a finite dipole moment.
Q.20. Why do alkenes prefer to undergo electrophilic addition reaction while arenes prefer electrophilic substitution reactions? Explain.
Ans. Due to the presence of a π -electron cloud above and below the plane of alkenes and arenes, these are electron-rich molecules and, therefore, provide sites for the attack of electrophiles. Hence, they undergo electrophilic reactions. Alkenes undergo electrophilic addition reactions because they are unsaturated molecules. For example,
Arenes, on the other hand, cannot undergo electrophilic addition reactions. This is because benzene has a large resonance energy of 150.4 kJ mol-1. During electrophilic addition reactions, two new σ-bonds are formed but the aromatic character of benzene gets destroyed and, therefore, resonance energy of benzene ring is lost. Hence, electrophilic addition reactions of arenes are not energetically favourable.
Arenes, in contrast, undergo electrophilic substitution reactions in which σ C – H bond is broken and new σ C – X bond is formed: The aromatic character of benzene ring is not destroyed and benzene retains its resonance energy. Hence, arenes undergo electrophilic substitution reactions.
Q.21. Alkynes on reduction with sodium in liquid ammonia form trans alkenes. Will the butene thus formed on reduction of 2-butyne show the geometrical isomerism?
Ans.Thus, but-2-ene is capable of showing geometrical isomerism.
Q.22. Rotation around carbon-carbon single bond of ethane is not completely free. Justify the statement.
Ans. Ethane contains carbon-carbon sigma (σ) bond. Electron distribution of the sigma molecular orbital is symmetrical around the internuclear axis of the C – C bond which is not disturbed due to rotation about its axis. This permits free rotation around a C-C single bond. However, rotation around a C – C single bond is not completely free. It is hindered by a small energy barrier due to weak repulsive interaction between the adjacent bonds. Such a type of repulsive interaction is called torsional strain.
Of all the conformations of ethane, the staggered form has the least torsional strain and the eclipsed form has the maximum torsional strain. The energy difference between the two extreme forms is of the order of 12.5 kJ mol-1, which is very small. It has not been possible to separate and isolate different conformational isomers of ethane.
Q.23. Draw Newman and Sawhorse projections for the eclipsed and staggered conformations of ethane. Which of these conformations is more stable and why?
Ans. In staggered form of ethane, the electron clouds of carbon-hydrogen bonds are as far apart as possible. Thus, there are minimum repulsive forces, minimum energy and maximum stability of the molecule.
On the other hand, when the staggered form changes into the eclipsed form, the electron clouds of the carbon-hydrogen bonds come closer to each other resulting in increase in electron cloud repulsions. To check the increased repulsive forces, molecule will have to possess more energy and thus has lesser stability.
Q.24. The intermediate carbocation formed in the reactions of HI, HBr and HCl with propene is the same and the bond energy of HCl, HBr and HI is 430.5 kJ mol-1, 363.7 kJ mol–1 and 296.8 kJ mol–1 respectively. What will be the order of reactivity of these halogen acids?
Ans. The bond dissociation enthalpy decreases in the order HCl > HBr > HI, therefore, the order of reactivity is in the reverse order i.e., HI > HBr > HCl.
Q.25. What will be the product obtained as a result of the following reaction and why?
Ans.
Propyl chloride forms CH3 – CH2 – CH+2 with anhydrous A1C13 which is less stable. This rearranges to a more stable carbocation as:
Q.26. How will you convert benzene into
(1) p-nitrobromobenzene
(2) m-nitrobromobenzene
Ans.
(1) Benzene into p-nitro bromobenzene:
C6H6 + Br2 (In presence of anhyd. FeBr3) → C6H5Br + HBr
C6H5Br + Conc. HNO3 + Conc. H2SO4 → p-nitrobromobenzene
(2) Benzene into m-nitrobromobenzene:
C6H6 + Conc. HNO3 +Conc. H2SO4 → C6H5NO2
C6H5NO2 + Br2 (In presence of anhyd.FeBr3) → m-nitrobromobenzene.
Q.27. Arrange the following set of compounds in the order of their decreasing relative reactivity with an electrophile. Give reason.
Ans. The methoxy group (-OCH3) is electron releasing group and increases electron density of benzene ring due to +R effect. Hence it makes anisole more reactive than benzene.
In case of Cl group it gives -I effect and +R effect. Its reactivity is less than methoxybenzene. —NO2 group gives -I effect and -R effect so it is less reactive than chlorobenzene.
Q.28. Despite their - I effect, halogens are o- and p-directing in haloarenes. Explain.
Ans. Halogens present on benzene ring have -I and +R effect, -I effect deactivates the ring but +R effect increases the electron density on ortho and para positions. Hence, halogens are ortho and para directing.
Q.29. Why does presence of a nitro group make the benzene ring less reactive in comparison to the unsubstituted benzene ring. Explain.
Ans. Nitro group has -I and -R effect due to that benzene ring deactivates and electron density decreases on ortho and para positions as compared to meta positions.
Q.30. Suggest a route for the preparation of nitrobenzene starting from acetylene?
Ans. Ethyne, when passed through red hot iron tube at 873 K, undergoes cyclic polymerization to give benzene which upon subsequent nitration gives nitrobenzene.
Q.31. Predict the major product (s) of the following reactions and explain their formation.
Ans. Addition of HBr to unsymmetrical alkenes follows Markonikov rule. It states that negative part of the addendum (adding molecule) gets attached to that carbon atom which possesses lesser number of hydrogen atoms.
Mechanism: Hydrogen bromide provides an electrophile, H+, which attacks the double bond to form carbocation as shown below:
The carbocation (b) is attacked by Br- ion to form the product as follows:

Ans.
(A) Primary (9 positions for Cl group possible)
(B) Secondary (2 positions for Cl group possible at CH)
(c) Tertiary (1 position for Cl group possible) Relative amounts of A, B and C compounds = Number of hydrogen x Relative reactivity.
So, relative amounts = 9 + 7.6 +5 = 21.6
Total amount = 9 + 7.6 + 5 = 21.6

Primary 1° free radical is less stable because of only 1 α hydrogen and one hyper conjugative structure.
Q.36. An alkane C8H18 is obtained as the only product on subjecting a primary alkyl halide to Wurtz reaction. On monobromination, this alkane yields a single isomer of a tertiary bromide. Write the structure of alkane and the tertiary bromide.
Ans. 2C4H9X + 2 Na→C8H16 + 2NaI
C8H16 + Br2→Single isomer of tertiary bromide.
C4H9X can be n-Butyl halide = CH3—(CH2)2-CH2X (It is primary halide) And CH3-CH(CH3)-CH2X
2CH3-CH(CH3) -CH2X + 2Na 2NaX +CH3-CH(CH3)-CH2-CH2-CH(CH3)-CH3.
This compound gives only one isomer of tertiary bromide. Therefore, the name of C8H16 is 2, 5-dimethylhexane.

Q.48. An alkyl halide C5H11Br (A) reacts with ethanolic KOH to give an alkene ‘B’, which reacts with Br2 to give a compound ‘C’, which on dehydrobromination gives an alkyne ‘D’. On treatment with sodium metal in liquid ammonia one mole of ‘D’ gives one mole of the sodium salt of ‘D’ and half a mole of hydrogen gas. Complete hydrogenation of ‘D’ yields a straight chain alkane. Identify A,B, C and D. Give the reactions invovled.
Ans. The reactions involved in identification of A, B, C and D are as follows:
C5H11Br(A) + alc. KOH→C5H10(B)
C5H10(B) + Br2/CS2→C5H10Br2(C)
C5H10 Br2(C) + alc. KOH→C5H8(D) Alkyne.
2C5H8 + 2Na→2C5H7Na + H2
Hydrogenation of alkyne (D) gives straight-chain alkane hence all the compounds A, B, C and D must be straight-chain compounds. Alkyne gives sodium alkenyl which proves D is terminal alkyne.
Q.49. 896 mL vapour of a hydrocarbon ‘A’ having carbon 87.80% and hydrogen 12.19% weighs 3.28g at STP. Hydrogenation of ‘A’ gives 2-methyl pentane. Also ‘A’ on hydration in the presence of H2SO4 and HgSO4 gives a ketone ‘B’ having molecular formula C6H12O. The ketone ‘B’ gives a positive iodoform test. Find the structure of ‘A’ and give the reactions involved.
Ans. To calculate molar mass of hydrocarbon A it is given that 896 ml of Hydrocarbon ‘A’CxHy Weighs 3.28 g at STP.
22400 ml of has ACxHy mass = 3.28 x 22400 ml/896 ml = 831 g /mol.
Hence, the molar mass of A= 831 g mol.
Thus, empirical formula = C3H5
Empirical formula weight = 3 x 12 =36 + 5 = 41.
Molecular formula = (Empirical formula)n
n = Mol. Mass/empirical mass = 831 /41 = 2.02.
Molecular formula = [C3H5]2 = C6H10
To determine the structure of (A) and (B):
C6H10 on hydrogenation with 2 moles 0f H2 gives C6H12 and structure is 2-methyl pentane.(A) on hydration in presence of dil. H=H2SO4 and HgSO4 gives C6H12O which gives Iodoform test positive. Hence, structure of A= (CH3)2CH—CH—C=CH(4-methyl pent-yne) and (B) is 4-methyl pentanone-2.
Q.50. An unsaturated hydrocarbon ‘A’ adds two molecules of H2 and on reductive ozonolysis gives butane-1,4-dial, ethanal and propanone. Give the structure of ‘A’, write its IUPAC name and explain the reactions involved.
Ans. Compound A on ozonolysis gives:
CH3CHO + O = CH-CH2 - CH2 - CHO + O = C(CH3)2
The structure of A is:
CH3-CH = CH2-CH2-CH2-CH =C(CH3)2
IUPAC name: 2-methyl octa 2, 6 diene.
