0%
Coal
0%
Coke
0%
Diamond
0%
Wood

Explanation

Different physical forms of the same element in which it can exist are called allotropes. Besides graphite, the other allotropes of crystalline carbon are diamond and fullerenes

Hence, the correct option is

$C$ .

Graphite is a conductor of electricity because

0%
it has free valence electrons.
0%
it is a non-metal form of carbon.
0%
it is an allotrope of carbon.
0%
Both A and B.

An element

$X$ has

$6$ electrons in its outermost shell. Then the number of electrons shared by

$X$ with another atom to form a covalent bond is:

0%
$3$
0%
$2$
0%
$6$
0%
$4$

Explanation

No. of electrons in the outermost shell of an element

$X=6$

$\therefore$ In a covalent bond, we share one/more electron pairs.

So, to form a covalent bond, it needs one pair of electrons(2 electrons) to complete its octet.

Hence, option B is correct.

The formula of methane is

$CH_4$ and its succeeding member ethane is expressed in

$C_2 H_6$ . The common difference of succession between them is:

0%
$CH_2$
0%
$C_2H_2$
0%
$CH_4$
0%

Explanation

Methane and ethane are alkanes. These are saturated carbon compounds. They have the general formula

$C_nH_{2n+2}$ . All the alkanes differ by

$CH_2$ group successively in the series.

Among the given compounds, which can have triple bond?

$C_2H_4$ ,

$C_3H_4$ ,

$C_3H_6$ .

0%
$C_2H_4$
0%

Valency of carbon is:

0%
1
0%
4
0%
3
0%
2

Explanation

Hint: Valency of carbon can be defined as combining power with hydrogen.

Explanation:

The number of valence electrons in the outermost shell in carbon is $4$ .
To attain noble gas configuration carbon makes $4$ bonds with carbon.
Therefore, Carbon is tetravalent.

Hence, correct option is

$4$ .

In a covalent bond formation:

0%
transfer of electrons takes place
0%
sharing of electrons between two atoms takes place
0%
electrons are shared by one atom only
0%
electrons are donated by one atom and shared by both atoms.

Explanation

Covalent bonds are formed when two atoms begin sharing electrons, the electrons are attracted towards the nuclei that are positively charged. Example:

$Cl-Cl$ .

It is not necessary that both atoms of covalent bond always will be the same, they can be different for example

$HF$ molecule, in such case electrons not shared equally and attract towards the more electronegative element.

$C_{3}H_{6}, C_{4}H_{8}$ and

$C_{5}H_{10}$ belong to the same homologous series. The melting and boiling points of

$C_{5}H_{10}$ are higher than that of

$C_{4}H_{8}$ .

0%
True
0%
False

Explanation

$C_{3}H_{6}, C_{4}H_{8}$ and

$C_{5}H_{10}$ belong to the same homologous series because each compound differs by

$-CH_2-$ units with the preceding one and each compound belongs to the same functional group.

In homologous series, the molecular masses of succeeding members are higher than the preceding members. As the molecular masses increases, the melting and boiling points also increase. So, melting and boiling points of

$C_5H_{10}$ are higher than the others in the given series.

The chlorination of methane is an example of:

0%
addition
0%
elimination
0%
substitution
0%
None of the above

Explanation

Saturated hydrocarbons are fairly unreactive and are inert in the presence of most reagents. However, in the presence of sunlight, chlorine is added to hydrocarbons in a very fast reaction. Chlorine can replace the hydrogen atoms one by one. It is called a substitution reaction because one type of atom or a group of atoms takes the place of another.

$\displaystyle CH_4 + Cl_2 \xrightarrow {h \nu} CH_3-Cl + HCl$

A group closely related compounds which can be expressed by a general formula & in which two consecutive members differ by

$14$ in their molecular masses is called:

0%
a heterogeneous series
0%
a homologous series
0%
a homogeneous series
0%
a electrochemicals series

Explanation

In homologous series, the two consecutive members will differ by 14 units in their molecular masses.

Ex-

Alkanes, Alkenes, Alkynes

$\rightarrow$ Two consecutive units of any of the homologous series, (i.e., alkanes, alkenes, alkynes), are differ by 1

$C{H}_{2}$ unit or by 14 units in their molecular masses.

In homlogous series, successive members differ by:

0%
$CH_{3}-$
0%
$CH_{3}-CH_{2}-$
0%
$-CH_{2}-$
0%
$-H$

Explanation

A homologous series is a series of compounds in which each member differs from the next/previous by

$-C{ H }_{ 2 }-$ or 14 mass units. Physical properties change in members of homologous series but chemical properties remain almost the same because the functional group remains the same.

In the presence of the acid catalyst, ethanoic acid reacts with ethanol to produce________.

0%
ethanol
0%
ethanoic
0%
ethyl ethanote
0%
ethyl ethanol

Explanation

$CH_3COOH + CH_3CH_2OH \xrightarrow{H^+} CH_3COOC_2H_5$

$Ethanoic \ acid$

$Ethanol$

$Ethyl \ ethanoate$

The reaction between acid and alcohol produces ester and the reaction is known as esterification

Hence, this is an acid catalysed esterification reaction.

$CH_3$

$H_3C-CH_2-\overset {|}{CH}-\overset {|}{CH}-CH_3$

Write the IUPAC name of the given compound.

0%
2,3-dimethylpentane
0%
3,4-dimethylhexane
0%
2-sec-butylbutane
0%
2,3-dimethylbutane

Explanation

$CH_3$

$H_3\underset {5}C-\underset {4}CH_2-\overset {|}{\underset {3}CH}-\overset {|}{\underset {2}CH}-\underset {1}CH_3$

Numbering the longest carbon chain, and considering that two methyl groups are attached at second and third carbon, we get IUPAC name as

$2,3-dimethylpentane$ .

$H - \underset{H}{\underset{|}{\overset{H}{\overset{|}{C}}}} - \underset{H}{\underset{|}{\overset{H}{\overset{|}{C}}}} - \underset{\!\!OH}{\underset{|}{\overset{H}{\overset{|}{C}}} - }H$

$H - \underset{H}{\underset{|}{\overset{H}{\overset{|}{C}}}} - \underset{H}{\underset{|}{\overset{H}{\overset{|}{C}}}} - OH$

$H - \underset{H}{\underset{|}{\overset{H}{\overset{|}{C}}}} - \underset{H}{\underset{|}{\overset{H}{\overset{|}{C}}}} - H$

$\underset{H}{\underset{|}{\overset{H}{\overset{|}{C}}}} = \underset{H}{\underset{|}{\overset{H}{\overset{|}{C}}}}$

The structures of four molecules are shown.

Which molecules belong to the same homologous series?

0%
$1$ and $2$
0%
$1$ and $3$
0%
$2$ and $4$
0%
$3$ and $4$

Explanation

Molecules

$1$ and

$2$ contain the same functional group, i.e., alcohol, and their formula differs by

$CH_2$ group. Thus belongs to the same homologous series while compound

$3$ and

$4$ belongs to alkane and alkene respectively.

A homologous series is a group or class of compounds having the same general formula and similar chemical properties in which successive members differ by

$-CH_2$ group.

Hence, option A is correct.

Which pollutant gas can be produced as a result of incomplete combustion of octane (

${C}_{8}{H}_{18}$ )?

0%
Carbon
0%
Carbon dioxide
0%
Carbon monoxide
0%
Methane

Explanation

When the supply of air is poor then incomplete combustion takes place which forms carbon monoxide instead of carbon dioxide.

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is;

$2C_8H_{18} + 17O_2 \rightarrow 16CO + 18H_2O$
