Question 141 Mark
Explain why alkynes are less reactive than alkenes toward addition of $\text{Br}_2$.
Answer
View full question & answer→The three-membered ring bromonium ion formed from the alkyne (A) has a full double bond causing it to be more strained and less stable than the one from the alkene (B),
Also, the carbon's of (A) that are part of the bromonium ion have more s-character than (B), further making (A) less stable than (B).

Question 171 Mark
Why iodination of benzene is carried out in the presence of nitric acid or iodic acid?
Answer
View full question & answer→The iodination of benzene is usually brought about by refluxing benzene with iodine and conc. $\mathrm{HNO}_3$ or $\mathrm{HIO}_3$.
$\mathrm{HNO}_3$ or $\mathrm{HIO}_3$ oxidises HI to $\mathrm{I}_2$ and plevents the backward reaction to occur.

Question 211 Mark
Why do alkenes prefer to undergo electrophilic addition reaction while arenes prefer electrophilic substitution reactions? Explain.
Answer
View full question & answer→Alkenes and arenes both are unsaturated and electron rich. Olefins or alkenes undergo addition reaction to give more stable saturated product; in this reaction hybridization changes from $\text{sp}^2$ to $\text{sp}^3$. Arenes are stabilised by resonance w delocalization of $\pi$-electrons. On addition reaction to the double bond of arene, we get a product which is not resonance stabilised. Thus, arenes prefer to undergo substitution reaction while alkenes prefer to undergo addition reaction.

Question 311 Mark
Why do the $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{C}$ bonds rather than $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H}$ bonds break during cracking of alkanes?
Answer
View full question & answer→Since the bond dissociation energy of $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{C}$ bonds $\left(348 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\right)$ is lower than bond dissociation energy of $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H}$ bonds ( $414 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ ), therefore, during cracking of alkanes, $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{C}$ bonds break more easily than C-H bonds.

Question 361 Mark
Despite their -I effect, halogens are o- and p-directing in haloarenes. Explain.
Answer
View full question & answer→In case of aryl halides, halogens are little deactivating because of their strong -I effect. Therefore, overall electron density on the benzene ring decreases. In other words, halogens are deactivating due to -I effect. However, because of the +R-effect, i.e., participation of lone pairs of electrons on the halogen atom with the π-electrons of the benzene ring, the electron density increases more at o- and p-positions than at m-positions.
As a result, halogens are o-, p-directing. The combined result of +R-effect and -I-effect of halogens is that halogens are deactivating but o, p-directing.

Arrange the following set of compounds in the order of their decreasing relative reactivity with an electrophile.Give reason.
Answer
View full question & answer→The methoxy group $\left(-\mathrm{OCH}_3\right)$ is electron releasing group. It increases the electron density in beniene nucleus due to resonance effect (+R-effect). Hence, it makes anisole more reactive than benzene towards the electrophile.+
In case of alkyl halides, the electron density increases at ortho and para positions due to +R effect. However, the halogen atom also withdraws electrons from the ring because of its -1 effect. Since the -1 effect is stronger than the +R effect, the halogens are moderately deactivating. Thus, overall electron density on benzene ring decreases, which makes further substitution difficult. $-\mathrm{NO}_2$ group is electron withdrawing group. It decreases the electron density in benzene nucleus due to its strong-R-effect and strong-I-effect. Hence, it makes nitrobenzene less reactive. Therefore, overall reactivity of these three compounds towards electrophiles decreases in the following order:

- DCyclohexane, Cyclopentane
Answer
View full question & answer→Correct option: A.

Question 531 Mark
The intermediate carbocation formed in the reactions of $\mathrm{HI}, \mathrm{HBr}$ and HCl with propene is the same and the bond energy of $\mathrm{HCl}, \mathrm{HBr}$ and HI is $430.5 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}, 363.7 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ and $296.8 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ respectively. What will be the order of reactivity of these halogen acids?
Answer
View full question & answer→Hydrogen halides $(\mathrm{HCl}, \mathrm{HBr}, \mathrm{HI})$ add up to a alkanes to form alkyl halides. The order of reactivity of the hydrogen halides is $\mathrm{HI}>\mathrm{HBr}>\mathrm{HCl}$. Reactivity of HX depends on bond dissociation enthalpy of HX . Bond enthalpy of HI ( $\left.296.8 \mathrm{kj} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\right)<\mathrm{HBr}\left(363.7 \mathrm{kj} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\right)<\mathrm{HCl}\left(430 \mathrm{kj} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\right)$ is in this order hence the reactivity is in reverse order:
$\text{HCl} < \text{HBr} < \text{HI}$
$\text{CH}_3-\text{CH}=\text{CH}_2+\text{H}^+$ slow step $\rightarrow\text{CH}_{3^-}\ ^+\text{CH}-\text{CH}_3+\text{X}^-\text{fast}\ \rightarrow\text{H}_3-\text{CHX}-\text{CH}_3$
Slow step is rate determining step and it depends on the availability of $\mathrm{H}^{+}$. Availability of $\mathrm{H}^{+}$depends on bond dissociation enthalpy of HX .
$\text{HCl} < \text{HBr} < \text{HI}$
$\text{CH}_3-\text{CH}=\text{CH}_2+\text{H}^+$ slow step $\rightarrow\text{CH}_{3^-}\ ^+\text{CH}-\text{CH}_3+\text{X}^-\text{fast}\ \rightarrow\text{H}_3-\text{CHX}-\text{CH}_3$
Slow step is rate determining step and it depends on the availability of $\mathrm{H}^{+}$. Availability of $\mathrm{H}^{+}$depends on bond dissociation enthalpy of HX .
