Science (English Medium) Class 11 - CBSE Question Bank Solutions for Chemistry

Consider structures I to VII and answer the question:

Identify the pairs of compounds that represents chain isomerism.

Compounds with same molecular formula but differing in their structures are said to be structural isomers. What type of structural isomerism is shown by

CH₃ – S – CH₂ – CH₂ – CH₃

And 

\[\begin{array}{cc}
\phantom{.....................}\ce{CH3}\\
\phantom{................}/\\
\phantom{}\ce{CH3 - S - CH}\\
\phantom{...............}\backslash\\
\phantom{....................}\ce{CH3}
\end{array}\]

Why does SO₃ act as an electrophile?

Match the terms mentioned in Column I with the terms in Column II.

Assertion (A): Pent- 1- ene and pent- 2- ene are position isomers.

Reason (R): Position isomers differ in the position of functional group or a substituent.

The molecules having dipole moment are:

(i) 2,2-Dimethylpropane

(ii) trans-Pent-2-ene

(iii) cis-Hex-3-ene

(iv) 2, 2, 3, 3 - Tetramethylbutane.

Assertion (A): The compound cyclooctane has the following structural formula:

It is cyclic and has conjugated 8π-electron system but it is not an aromatic compound.

Reason (R): (4n + 2)π electrons rule does not hold good and ring is not planar.

How can you apply green chemistry for the following:

To avoid use of halogenated solvents in drycleaning and that of chlorine in bleaching.

For dry cleaning, in the place of tetrachloroethane, liquefied carbon dioxide with suitable detergent is an alternative solvent. What type of harm to the environment will be prevented by stopping use of tetrachloroethane? Will use of liquefied carbon dioxide with detergent be completely safe from the point of view of pollution? Explain.
