Q 1 :    

In the following reaction,  

H3C-CCH 873 Kred hot iron tube A,

the number of sigma (σ) bonds present in the product A, is          [2019]

  • 21

     

  • 9

     

  • 24

     

  • 18

     

(1)

There are 21 σ bonds.

 



Q 2 :    

Which one is the correct order of acidity?                [2017]

  • CHCH>CH3-CCH>CH2=CH2>CH3-CH3

     

  • CHCH>CH2=CH2>CH3-CCH>CH3-CH3

     

  • CH3-CH3>CH2=CH2>CH3-CCH>CHCH

     

  • CH2=CH2>CH3-CH=CH2>CH3-CCH>CHCH

     

(1)

Alkanes, alkenes and alkynes follow the following trend in their acidic behaviour:

HCspCHsp>H2Csp2=CH2sp2>CH3sp3-CH3sp3

This is because sp-hybridised carbon is more electronegative than sp2-hybridised carbon, which is further more electronegative than sp3-hybridised carbon. Hence, in ethyne, proton can be released more easily than in ethene and ethane.

Among alkynes, the order of acidity is:

HCCH>CH3-CCH>CH3-CC-CH3

This is due to the +I effect of the -CH3 group.



Q 3 :    

Predict the correct intermediate and product in the following reaction:               

H3C-CCHHgSO4H2O,H2SO4Intermediate(A)Product(B)                       [2017]

  •  

  •  

  •  

  •  

(3)

In case of unsymmetrical alkynes, addition of H2O occurs in accordance with Markownikoff's rule.  

 



Q 4 :    

The pair of electrons in the given carbanion, CH3CC-, is present in which of the following orbitals?        [2016]

  • sp2

     

  • sp

     

  • 2p

     

  • sp3

     

(2)

CH3-CspC-sp

Thus, pair of electrons is present in sp-hybridised orbital.

 



Q 5 :    

In the reaction

H-CCH(ii) CH3CH2Br(i) NaNH2/liq.NH3X(ii)CH3CH2Br(i) NaNH2/liq.NH3Y,

X and Y are                                                                                     [2016]

  • X = 2-butyne, Y = 2-hexyne

     

  • X = 1-butyne, Y = 2-hexyne

     

  • X = 1-butyne, Y = 3-hexyne

     

  • X = 2-butyne, Y = 3-hexyne

     

(3)

 



Q 6 :    

Which of the following organic compounds has same hybridization as its combustion product (CO2) ?                 [2014]

  • Ethane

     

  • Ethyne

     

  • Ethene

     

  • Ethanol

     

(2)

C2H2+52O22CO2+H2O

Both ethyne and CO2 have sp-hybridisation.
