NOTE: Q1 to Q4 carry 0.5 marks each; Q5 to Q10 carry 1 mark each; Q11 carry 2 mark each.
1. Which of the following compounds do not undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions?
(a)Vinyl chloride (b)Ethyl bromide (c)Benzyl chloride (d)Isopropyl chloride
2. In the question given below, there are two statements marked as Assertion (A) and Reason
(R). Read the statements and choose the correct option:
Assertion: Presence of a nitro group at ortho or para position increases the reactivity
of haloarenes towards electrophilic substitution reaction.
Reason: Nitro group, being an electron withdrawing group decreases the electron
density over benzene ring.
(a) Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
(b) Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
(c) (A) is correct but (R) is incorrect
(d) (A) is incorrect but (R) is correct.
3. Out of which is an example of allylic halide?

4. Write the structure of the alkene formed by dehydrohalogenation of 1-bromo-1-methylcyclohexane

with alcoholic KOH.
5. In the following pair of compounds, which will react faster by SN2 mechanism and why?

6. Out of chlorobenzene and benzyl chloride, which one get easily hydrolyzed by aqueous NaOH
and why?
7. Grignard reagent should be prepared under anhydrous conditions. Why?
8. Halobenzenes are o & p directing despite having -I effect. Justify
9.Arrange the isomeric dichlorobenzene in the increasing order of their boiling point and melting
 points
10. Account for the following
a) Chloroform is stored in closed dark brown bottles.
b) Racemic mixture is optically inactive.
11. An organic compound X which is manufactured by heating a mixture of chloral and
chlorobenzene in the presence of concentrated H 2SO4 is used as an insecticide. The use of
compound X is banned in many countries. The compound is very effective against
mosquitoes which spread malaria. Answer the following questions based on the information:
Question 1: Name the compound X.
Question 2: Give its structural formula.
Question 3: Write the IUPAC name of compound X.
Question 4: Why is the use of compound X banned in many countries? Should we also advocate
the ban of this compound though it is banned in many countries?
