HINTS & SOLUTONS
1. (1) It is hyperconjugation process.
2. (3) Carbonyl carbon become more reactive toward nucleophilic addition by increasing the
+I effect of alkyl group so the reactivity order is as
HCHO  CH 3 CHO  CH 3 COCH 3
I II IIII

3. (3) The octet of all atoms are complete in structures (1) and (2). In structure (4) electron
deficiency of positively charged carbon is duly compensated by lone pair electrons of adjacent
oxygen atom while such neighbour group support is not available in structure (3).

CH 3

4. (2) CH3  C| Due to (+I) effect of three methyl group 3° carbocation is more stable.
CH 3

5. (3) Without intermediate reaction take place as under

Br

CH 3  CH  CH 2  HBr  CH 3  CH  CH 3

(According to markownikoff rule)

But the halogen bonded with terminal carbon so it take place in presence of peroxide by free
radical mechanism.

Greater the no. of alkyl groups, greater would be the dispersal of the charge and hence more
stable will be the carbonium ion.
8. (4) Chlorine atom is orth-para directing group.
9. (2) Stability of carbonium ions.
tertiary alkyl > secondary alkyl > primary alkyl > methyl.
More the number of alkyl groups, the greater the dispersal of positive charge and therefore,
more the stability of carbonium ion is observed.

C+

triphenylmethyl cation
Dispersal of positive charge increases with the increase in the number of benzene ring.
10. (4) It is SN 2 type of reaction.
11. (3)
12. (2)
13. (2) If the dehydrohalogenation of an alkyl halide can yield more than one alkene, then according
to the saytzeff rule, the main product is the most highly substituted alkene.

14. (4) Halogenation of alkanes takes place in presence of light (sunlight or UV) or at elevated
temperature via free radical.

because they contain chiral carbon atom.

18. (1)
19. (2) Due to formation of the plane of symmetry by the syn addition of hydrogen in the triple
