Free Fundamental Principles of Organic Chemistry MCQs with Answers
536 Fundamental Principles of Organic Chemistry MCQs from Chemistry, each with the correct answer and a written explanation of why it is correct. Free and unlimited, with no account needed.
Organic chemistry begins with carbon compounds classified by carbon skeleton, saturation and functional group. Work includes identifying groups such as hydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxyl and amino, applying basic nomenclature, and distinguishing structural, geometric and optical isomers, where the same molecular formula does not necessarily mean the same structure or properties.

- B. R-COX
- C. R-X
- D. R-COOH
Explanation: The functional group of acid halides is represented by R-COX, where:- R is an organic group (alkyl or aryl)- C is the carbon atom- O is…
Correct answer: R-COX- A. n-
- B. iso-
- C. neo-
- D. geminal-
Explanation: The prefix neo- refers to a substituent whose second-to-last carbon of the chain is trisubstituted (has three methyl groups attached to…
Correct answer: neo-- A. Alcohols
- B. Thia-alcohols
- C. Thia-ether
- D. Nitrile
Explanation: The compounds containing the R-SH functional group are known as thio-alcohols.
Correct answer: Thia-alcohols- A. --CHO
- B. --COOH
- C. -CN
- D. -COOR
Explanation: In the -CN functional group, the carbon atom is sp hybridized. This means that the carbon atom in this group has two sigma bonds and no…
Correct answer: -CN- A. KOCN
- B. C6H5OH
- C. CH3COOCH
- D. CH3OH
Explanation: Organic compound is any of a large class of chemical compounds in which one or more atoms of carbon are covalently linked to atoms of…
Correct answer: KOCN- A. sp3
- B. sp2
- C. sp
- D. sp3d
Explanation: The carbon atom in ethane forms 4 bonds with hydrogen atoms showing tetrahedral geometry. Hence exhibit sp3 hybridization.
Correct answer: sp3- A. alicyclic and aromatic
- B. Open and branched chain
- C. Aromatic and non aromatic
- D. anti aromatic
Explanation: Homo cyolic organic compounds are sub divided into two types; * Alicyclic compounds.* Aromatic compounds.
Correct answer: alicyclic and aromatic- A. sp3
- B. sp
- C. sp2
- D. dsp
Explanation: In an alkane, each carbon atom has sp3 hybridization. This means that one 2s-orbital and three 2p-orbitals mix to create four hybrid…
Correct answer: sp3- A. Alkane > Alkynes > Alkene
- B. Alkene> Alkane > Alkyne
- C. Alkyne >Alkene> Alkane
- D. Alkene> Alkyne> Alkane
Explanation: Option D is correct. Alkenes, with their one pi bond, are more reactive than both alkanes and alkynes.
Correct answer: Alkene> Alkyne> Alkane- A. Benzene
- B. Butane
- C. 2-butyne
- D. 1-pentene
Explanation: The hybridization of carbon in organic compounds determines the arrangement of its electron orbitals and affects the geometry of the…
