  • A. Grignard reagent
  • B. Metallic alkyl halide
  • C. Both a & b
  • D. Alkyl halide

Explanation: R-Mg-Br is called a Grignard reagent, named after the French chemist François Auguste Victor Grignard who discovered these compounds.

Correct answer: Grignard reagent
  • A. CO2 and H2O
  • B. ethyne
  • C. CH3OH
  • D. CO + H2O + C

Explanation: Ethyne (acetylene) is the most reactive among the given options. It is highly reactive due to its triple bond, which can easily undergo…

Correct answer: ethyne
  • A. CnH2n+2
  • B. CnH2n-2
  • C. CnH2n
  • D. CnH2n+1

Explanation: The general formula of an alkyne is CnH2n-2.

  • B. alkane
  • C. alkynes
  • D. both b & c

Explanation: Reactivity due to pi-electrons is present in both alkenes (b) and alkynes (c).

Correct answer: both b & c
  • A. hydrogen bonding
  • B. irregular shape of the molecules
  • C. irregular shape of the molecules and strong intermolecular forces
  • D. greater molecular size

Explanation: The greater viscosity of honey is primarily attributed to the presence of hydrogen bonding between the molecules in honey, specifically…

Correct answer: hydrogen bonding
  • A. Chloroform
  • B. Acetylene
  • C. Di-vinyl acetylene
  • D. Chloroprene

Explanation: Synthetic rubber is made by the polymerization of chloroprene (2-chloro-1,3-butadiene).

Correct answer: Chloroprene

  • B. -358.5 kJ/mol
  • C. +150.5 kJ/mol
  • D. -208 kJ/mol

Explanation: Resonance energy is the difference between the actual enthalpy of hydrogenation of benzene (-208 kJ/mol) and the theoretical enthalpy…

Correct answer: +150.5 kJ/mol
  • A. One of the products exists as three stereoisomers
  • B. Two pairs of diastereomers are obtained only
  • C. Only one meso stereoisomer is obtained
  • D. Two pairs of enantiomers are obtained

Explanation: The correct answer is Option D: Two pairs of enantiomers are obtained because enantiomers come in pairs and a single compound cannot form…

Correct answer: Two pairs of enantiomers are obtained
  • A. Bromine water test
  • B. Hydroxylation
  • C. Ozonolysis
  • D. Both "A" and "B"

Explanation: When differentiating between an alkane and an alkene, it is important to consider their saturation levels.

Correct answer: Both "A" and "B"
  • A. They have high percentage of hydrogen
  • B. They have a ring structure
  • C. They have high percentage of carbon
  • D. They resist in reaction with air

Explanation: Aromatic compounds burn with a sooty flame because the benzene rings in their structure resist complete combustion, leading to the…

Correct answer: They have high percentage of carbon
  • A. Introduction of R-group in the benzene ring in the presence of AlCl3 is called alkylation
  • B. Introduction of acyl group in the benzene ring in the presence of AlCl3 is called acylation
