the organic compound which only contain 2 elements hydrogen & carbon
type of bonding b/w the carbon atoms
IUPAC
Each diff. organic compound should have a diff. name

Answer 12

pg 78

Question 13

uses of methane

Answer 13

3

Question 14

1 - Butene what does the number mean?

Answer 14

indicates the position of double bond.
so make a double bond between indicated C atom & the atom next to it
so double bond between C1 & C2

Question 15

write structural formulas for 2- Butene and 1 -Pentene.

Question 16

what is dehydration of alcohol? explain with an example written in structural formula form? what is used as catalyst? aka?

Question 17

dehydrohalogenation? catalyst?
example?

Answer 17

in it one H atoms is also removed ususally from alternating halide.

Question 18

write the reactions steps of halogenation?

Answer 18

pg 77

Question 19

structural formula & condensed structural formula for iso butane

Question 20

properties of alkenes?

Answer 20

1. unsaturated hydrocarbons
2. first 3 members are gases
3. insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents eg alcohol etc

Question 21

how to know weather a compound is saturated or unstaurated?

Answer 21

decolorization of bromine solution is used for the presence of unsaturation (alkenes alkynes)
if the color remian same it is alkane or saturated
