Which of the following is a unique nature of carbon? (Multiple Selection Question)
Forms 4 strong covalent bonds
It can form only one type of bond
It has the ability to form stable bonds with itself
It can form multiple bonds
Which of the following is NOT true about nucleophiles?
donates an electron pair to an electrophile to form a chemical bond
all molecules or ions with a free pair of electrons or at least one pi bond can act as nucleophiles
nucleophile are Lewis acids by definition
a nucleophile becomes attracted to a full or partial positive charge
Which of the following statement is INCORRECT about electrophiles?
Electrophiles are positively charged or neutral species having vacant orbitals
The electrophiles are attacked by the most electron-populated part of one nucleophile
Electrophiles are Lewis base
What is a functional group?
Atoms or group of atoms that give specific characteristics to a molecule
Group of molecules that make up a group of atoms
Group of molecules that give specific characteristics to an atom
Group of atoms that give specific characteristics to an element
Classify the compound based on the functional group present.
Ether
Ketone
Ester
Carboxylic acid
How to determine that a molecule exhibit cis-trans isomerism?
Restricted rotation in a carbon-carbon single bond of alkenes
Each carbon of a site of restricted rotation has 2 different atoms or groups attached to it
Exist in cyclic compouds only
Similar chemical properties
Formation of a single product from two reactant molecules is known as
addition reaction
substitution reaction
elimination reaction
oxidation reaction
