Section A
1.
(b) methane
Explanation: By Wurtz reaction, higher alkanes are prepared.
i.e, R - CI + 2Na + R - CI → R - R + 2NaCI
Thus, methane cannot be prepared by this reaction.
2.
(c) cis-but-2-ene
Explanation: Cis form of alkene is found to be more polar than the trans form e.g. dipole moment of cis-but-2-ene is 0.33
Debye, whereas, dipole moment of the transform is almost zero or it can be said that trans-but-2-ene is non-polar.

3.
(c)

Explanation: This is because geometrical isomerism is not possible if three groups are same.
Section B
4.
(c) A is true but R is false.
Explanation: A is true but R is false.
5.
(d) If both Assertion and Reason are false statements.
Explanation: Addition of HBr on 2 -butene gives only one product, 2 -bromobutane.

As 2 -butene is a symmetrical alkene, it does not follow Markownikoff's rule.

Section C
6. i. In this reaction, Toluene is formed.

 ii. In this reaction, Zinc dust act as a reducing agent, so its reduces the phenol to form benzene along with ZnO.

HgSO /H2 SO 4
4

7. CH 3
− C = CH + H2 O −−−−−−−−→

The Markownikoff's addition of H2O gives an unstable enol form that rearranges to the corresponding more stable ketone.
8. Step 1. Write the structure of the products side by side with their oxygen atoms pointing towards each other.

Step 2. Remove the oxygen atoms and join the two ends by a double bond, the structure of the alkene 'A' is

9. Due to the presence of an electron cloud containing 6 π -electrons above and below the plane of the ring, benzene is a rich source
of electrons. Consequently, it attracts the electrophiles (electron - deficient) reagents towards it.
