Hint & Solutions

1. (2) 8. (4)
Aromatic diazonium slats are more stable due to
dispersal of the positive charge in benzene ring.
is the strongest Bronsted base as there is no
2. (4) delocalization of lone pair of electrons of N atom
The aqueous solutions of diazonium salts are good
which is possible in aniline and in pyrrole.
conductors of electricity.
9. (1)
3. (2)
NH3 is more basic than H2O, therefore, NH 2
4. (4) (conjugate base of weak acid NH3) is a stronger base
than OH–. Thus, decreasing order of basic strength is
NH 2– > OH – > NH 3 > H 2 O .

10. (2)
The order of boiling points of isomeric amines is 1°
amines > 2° amines > 3° amines.
Because of absence of H-atom available for
hydrogen bonding, 3° amines do not have
5. (3) intermolecular association. Intermolecular
association is more in 1° amines than in 2° amines as
6. (2) there are wo H-atoms available for H-bonding.
Hydrocarbons are almost non-polar molecules and
7. (1) possess weak van der Waals forces and hence has
lowest boiling point i.e., most volatile.
