Basic concepts of Organic chem

Question 1

What properties of carbon help it form a vast variety of compounds

Answer 1

The properties of carbon helping it form a huge number of compound are:
1. catenation: Self linking ability of carbon
2. Tetravalency: ability to form 4 bonds

Question 2

Which of the following hybridized orbitals has the most electronegativity sp, sp2,sp3

Answer 2

The sp orbitals has more electronegativity because the percentage of s in more as compared to other orbitals.

Question 3

Why is π bond the center of reactivity in a given molecule?

Answer 3

π bond involves in the overlapping of orbitals laterally creating a high density of electron above an below. These electron are easily available for attacking reagents.

Question 4

What are the different ways of representation of a given compound ?

Answer 4

1. Lewis structure
2. Dashed structure
3. Condensed form
4. Bond line form
5. 3-D representation

Question 5

what is the need for classification of organic compounds?

Answer 5

This need arises due the the huge number of compounds.

Question 6

What is the basic classification of compound?

Answer 6

1. Acyclic - straight or branched chain also known as Aliphatic
   2.Cyclic - closed chain organic compounds

Question 7

What are the different types cyclic compounds ?

Answer 7

1. Aromatic: extremely high resonance energy and unstable unsaturated compounds
2. Alicyclic: carbon compound that may or may not be saturated but don’t possess aromaticity
