Tertiary carbocation (CH3)3C+ is the most stable carbocation due to the elctron releasing
effect of the three methyl groups. An increased +I effect due to the three methyl groups
stabilizes the postive charge on the carbocation.
8. Which of the following is not an electrophile ? OH- , SO3, NO2+, Cl+
OH- is not an electrophile, it is a nucleophile which can attack positive charge carbon atom.

11. What do you understand by (i) Homolytic fission (ii) Heterolytic fission
(i)In homolytic fission, one of the electrons of the shared pair in a covalent bond goes with each of
the bonded atoms.
(ii)In heterolytic fission, the bond breaks in such a fashion that the shared pair of electrons remains
with one of the fragments
12. What is the relation between the following pairs? Are they structural or geometrical isomers or
resonance contributors?

(a) Structural isomers (b)Geometrical isomers (c) Resonance contributors
13. Using curved-arrow notation, show the formation of reactive intermediates when the following
covalent bonds undergo heterolytic cleavage. (a) CH3–SCH3, (b) CH3–CN, (c) CH3–Cu
Electromeric Effect:- This is a temporary effect which involves complete transference of the
shared pair of electrons to either of the two atoms linked by multiple bonds on the demand of the
attacking reagent.

(ii)Position isomerism: When two or more compounds differ in the position of substituent atom or
functional group on the carbon skeleton, they are called position isomers and this phenomenon is
termed as position isomerism. For example, the molecular formula C3H8O represents two alcohols:
CH3CH2CH2OH Propan-1-ol CH3−CH(OH)-CH3 Propan-2ol
(iii)Functional group isomerism: Two or more compounds having the same molecular formula but
different functional groups are called functional isomers and this phenomenon is termed as
functional group isomerism. For example, the molecular formula C3H6O represents an aldehyde
and a ketone.
16. What are electrophiles and nucleophiles? Explain with examples.
A reagent that brings an electron pair is called a nucleophile (Nu:) i.e., nucleus seeking and the
reaction is then called nucleophilic.
Examples of nucleophiles are the negatively charged ions with lone pair of electrons such as
hydroxide (HO– ), cyanide (CN- )and carbanions (R3C:–). Neutral molecules such as H2O etc., can
also act as nucleophiles due to the presence of lone pair of electrons.
A reagent that takes away an electron pair is called electrophile (E+) i.e., electron seeking and the
reaction is called electrophilic.
Examples of electrophiles include carbocations ( CH3 + ) and neutral molecules having functional
groups like carbonyl group (>C=O) or alkyl halides (R3C-X, where X is a halogen atom).
17. What are carbocations? Explain the order of relative stability of primary, secondary and tertiary
carbocations.
A species having a carbon atom possessing sextet of electrons and a positive charge is called a
carbocation (earlier called carbonium ion).
The CH3+ ion is known as a methyl cation or methyl carbonium ion.
Carbocations are classified as primary, secondary or tertiary depending on whether one, two or
three carbons are directly attached to the positively charged carbon.
Some other examples of carbocations are: CH3CH2+(ethyl cation, a primary carbocation),
(CH3)2CH + (isopropyl cation, a secondary carbocation), and (CH3)3C + (tert-butyl cation, a tertiary
carbocation).
Carbocations are highly unstable and reactive species. Alkyl groups directly attached to the
positively charged carbon stabilise the carbocations due to inductive and hyperconjugation effects,

21. In which C-C bond of CH3CH2CH2Br, the inductive effect is expected to be the least?
Bond between C2 & C3. Magnitude of inductive effect diminishes as the number of intervening
bonds increases.
22. Out of benzene, m-dinitrobenzene and toluene which will undergo nitration most easily and why?
Order of ease of nitration is
Toluene > Benzene > m- dinitrobenzene
Nitration is an electrophilic substitution reaction. Since methyl group is electron releasing group
,i.e. activating, it increases electron density on the benzene ring thereby facilitating electrophilic
substitution reaction. Nitro group on the other hand is electron withdrawing group, therefore it is
deactivating i.e. decreases the reactivity towards electrophilic substitution reaction
> >
23. (CH3)3C+ is more stable than (CH3)2CH+. Explain, Why?
Due to hyper conjugation and +I effect
24. Why do SO3 act as an electrophile?
Since oxygen is more electronegative than ‘S’, therefore, ‘S’ is positively charged and acts as a
electrophile.

(acetamide) CH3CH2NH2
(ethylamine)
31. Higher alkyl substituted alkene is formed in greater proportion than the lower alkyl substituted
alkene. Justify.
In alkyl substituted alkene, the α- (alpha) hydrogen atoms of the methyl group are involved in the
hyperconjugation with the pi() electron pair of the double bond. As a result, the stability of the
alkene increases. Greater the number of such groups more will be the stability of alkene. Thus, the
relative order of stability of alkenes is

In general greater the number of alkyl group attatched to the unsaturated system, greater is the
hyperconjugation interaction and stabilization of the alkene.

Each question carries 1 mark :
42. Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of their acid strength:
Propan-1-ol, 2,4,6-trinitrophenol, 3-nitrophenol, 3,5-dinitrophenol, phenol, 4-methylphenol.
Propan-1-ol < 4-methylphenol < phenol < 3-nitrophenol < 3,5-dinitrophenol < 2,4, 6-trinitrophenol
(Electron withdrawing groups in phenol increase its acidic strength and electron releasing groups
decrease it.)
43. Arrange the three isomeric xylenes in the increasing order of their polarity.
15
Answer Key
2018-2019
I: Most stable, more number of covalent bonds, each carbon and oxygen atom has an octet and no
separation of opposite charge
II: negative charge on more electronegative atom and positive charge on more electropositive atom
III: does not contribute as oxygen has positive charge and carbon has negative charge, hence least
stable.
45. Explain why alkyl groups act as electron donors when attached to a -system.
Alkyl group has sp3 hybridization whereas - bonded atom is sp2 hybridized which is more
electronegative, therefore, alkyl group act as electron donors.
46. Arrange the following in increasing order of basic strength:
C6H5NH2, (C2H5)2NH and CH3NH2
Due to the –R effect of the –C6H5 group, the electron density on the N atom in –C6H5NH2 is lower
than that on the N atom of C2H5NH2.Hence the given compounds can be arranged in the increasing
order as follows.
C6H5NH2 < CH3NH2 < (C2H5)2NH
