  • A. Ethane
  • B. Ethene
  • C. Ethyne
  • D. Methane

Explanation: Option A is incorrect as Alkanes have the highest bond length (of about 1.54 Angstrom).

Correct answer: Ethyne
  • A. Ethene
  • B. Ethane
  • C. Ethyne
  • D. Methane

Explanation: The bond length for a given pair of elements is a function of number and types of orbital overlaps.

Correct answer: Ethyne
  • A. Polyvinyl polymer
  • B. Polyvinyl Acetylene
  • C. Neoprene
  • D. Chloroprene

Explanation: The reaction of vinyl acetylene with HCl produces chloroprene. Chloroprene is a synthetic rubber that is used in a variety of…

Correct answer: Chloroprene
  • A. 2500°C
  • B. 2600°C
  • C. 2700°C
  • D. 2800 °C

Explanation: When lime is heated with coke at about 2800°C in an electric furnace, calcium carbide is produced, which on hydrolysis yields acetylene.

Correct answer: 2800 °C
  • A. Ethylene
  • B. Acetylene
  • C. Acetone
  • D. Ethene

Explanation: The first member of the Alkyne series is Ethyne which is also known as Acetylene in the common naming, having the formula C2H2.

Correct answer: Acetylene
  • A. Red
  • B. White
  • C. Brown
  • D. Pinkish

Explanation: Silver, in the form of Ag+, despite being a transition element, forms colourless compounds.

Correct answer: White
  • A. Methane
  • B. Ethane
  • C. Propane
  • D. Acetylene

Explanation: Carbide of alkaline earth metals are decomposed by water to form acetylene (C2H2). E.g: CaC2+ 2H2O ------ Ca(OH)2+ C2H2

Correct answer: Acetylene
  • A. Benzene
  • B. 1,3,5-cyclohexatriene
  • C. Hexene
  • D. Butane

Explanation: This option is correct since polymer is formed by combination of monomers.At 873 K when acetylene is passed through a red hot iron tube…

Correct answer: Benzene
  • A. Ozonolysis
  • B. Hydroxylation
  • C. Acetylide formation
  • D. Kolbe's electrolysis

Explanation: Acetylene (C2H2) possesses two hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon atoms in its structure that exhibit acidic properties.

Correct answer: Acetylide formation
  • A. 1
  • B. 3
  • C. 4
  • D. 2

Explanation: Acetylene, C2H2, can be converted to ethane, C2H6, by a process known as hydrogenation.

Correct answer: 2
  • A. Benzene
  • B. Ethane
  • C. Ethene
  • D. Ethyne

Explanation: Ethyne, also known as acetylene, is the most reactive among the given options due to its triple bond between the carbon atoms.

Correct answer: Ethyne
  • A. It expands on heating
  • B. It contracts on heating
  • C. Both
  • D. None

Explanation: If we take some water at 0 C and start heating it, we find that in the temperature range 0oC to 4oC, it contracts instead of expanding.on…

Correct answer: It contracts on heating
  • A. 2.98˚C
  • B. 3.98 ˚C
  • C. 4 ˚C
  • D. 4.98 ˚C

Explanation: The maximum density of water is at 4°C as there are two opposite effects that are in balance.

Correct answer: 4 ˚C
  • A. 2°C
  • B. 4°C
  • C. 0°C
  • D. <0°C

Explanation: When water is at 0 ° C , it takes a cage-like structure, and thus the volume increases which results in the density decrease.

Correct answer: 4°C

  • B. Ozone hole is depletion in total amount of O
  • C. A single chlorine free radical can destroy 10000 ozone molecules
  • D. AII of above

Explanation: Ultraviolet radiations cause photochemical splitting of oxygen molecules in the stratosphere.

Correct answer: Ultraviolet radiation from sun causes a reaction that produces ozone
  • A. N2
  • B. N2O
  • C. NO
  • D. CO

Explanation: Nitrogen is an inert gas - meaning it doesn't chemically react with other gases - and it isn't toxic

Correct answer: N2
  • A. Smog
  • B. Ozone
  • C. Carbonic acid
  • D. Chlorofluorocarbons

Explanation: CO2+H2O->H2CO3 This is how carbonic acid is formed from water.
