Question
  1. Write two important differences between inductive effect and resonance effect.
  2. Give reasons to explain the following observations:
  1. Carbon atom number $2$ in $CH_3CH_2Cl$ has more positive charge than that in $CH_3-CH_2-Br$.
  2. $CH_3-CH=CH-CH=CH_2(I)$ is more stable than $CH_3-CH=CH-CH_2-CH=CH_2(II)$

Answer

  1.  
S. No
Inductive effect
Resonance effect
1.
It involves o electrons.
It involves $\pi-$ electrons or lone pair of electrons.
2.
It decreases with distance and vanishes after $4^{th}$ carbon atom.
It is all along the length if system is conjugated (alternate double bonds).
3.
It is shown by even non-planar compounds.
It is shown by only planar compounds.
  1.  
  1. Polarisation of $CH_3CH_2Cl$ and $CH_3CH_2$ Br can be shown as follows.
$\stackrel{\delta\delta+}{\text{CH}_3}-\stackrel{\delta+}{\text{CH}_2}-\stackrel{\delta-}{\text{Cl}}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \stackrel{\delta\delta+}{\text{CH}_3}-\stackrel{\delta+}{\text{CH}_2}-\stackrel{\delta-}{\text{Br}}$

Chlorine is more electronegative than Bromine. C-Cl bond is more polar than C-Br bond. Hence, inductive effect of 'Cl' is greater on the second carbon than Br.
  1. Resonating structures of (I)


It is more stable due to resonance effect due to conjugation i.e., alternate double bonds than II in which there is no resonance due to absence of conjugation.

Three students, Manish, Ramesh and Rajni were determining the extra elements present in an organic compound given by their teacher. They prepared the Lassaigne’s extract (L.E.) independently by the fusion of the compound with sodium metal. Then they added solid $\mathrm{FeSO}_4$ and dilute sulphuric acid to a part of Lassaigne’s extract. Manish and Rajni obtained prussian blue colour but Ramesh got red colour. Ramesh repeated the test with the same Lassaigne’s extract, but again got red colour only. They were surprised and went to their teacher and told him about their observation. Teacher asked them to think over the reason for this. Can you help them by giving the reason for this observation. Also, write the chemical equations to explain the formation of compounds of different colours.
