During hearing a court case, the judge suspected that some changes in the original documents has been deliberately made. He asked the forensic department to check the ink used at two different places. After reading the above passage, answer the following questions : (i) What technique do you think can be ued to ascertain whether the ink used at two places was the same or different ? (ii) What is the principle of this technique appiled ?

Answer» (i) This layer chromatography (TLC) can be used to identify the components in a small sample such as ink.
(ii) This technique is based upon the principle of adsorption. To carry out this technique, a glass or a plastic side coated with a suitable adsorbent usually silica gel is taken. Two pencil lines are drawn on this plate-one little above the botton and the other near the top of the plate. With the help of a suitable solvent, the samples of ink used at two different places are applied on the pencil line near the botom of the TLC plate little away from each other. The plate is then placed in a closed jar containing a suitable solvent and allowed to stay till the solvent reaches the top pencil line. The plate is then removed from the jar and dried in air. If both the samplex of ink show a single spot on the plate at the same height from the bottom then the same ink is used and if single spots are either seen at different heights or one sample shows a single spot while the other sample shows two or more spots, then different inks are used.
265.

The most unlikely representation of resonance structure of p-nitrophenoxide isA. B. C. D.

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Nitrogen in option (c) has two double bonds and one single bond. Therefore, it has `10 (2 xx 4 + 1 xx 2)` electrons in the valence shell. This is against octet rule and hence resonance structure (c) is most unlikely.

What is the type of hybridization in the following compounds (a) `CH_(3)Cl`, (b) `(CH_(3))_(2)CO`, (c) `CH_(3)CN` (d) `HCONH_(2)`, (e) `CH_(3)CH = CHCN`

(a) `overset(sp^(3))(CH_(3))-Cl` (b) `overset(sp^(3))(CH_(3))-underset(O)underset(||)overset(sp^(2))(C)-overset(sp^(3))(CH_(3))` (c) `overset(sp^(3))(CH_(3))-overset(sp)(C)-=N`
(d) `H-underset(O)underset(||)overset(sp^(2))(C)-NH_(2)` (e) `overset(sp^(3))(CH_(3))-overset(sp^(2))(CH)=overset(sp^(2))(CH)-overset(sp)(C)-= N`
267.

In which of the following compounds the C-Cl bond ionisation shall give most stable carbonium ion ?A. B. C. D.

Answer» Correct Answer - D
More stable the carbocation, more facile is C-Cl bond ionization. Now the stability of carbocations decreases in order :
`(CH_(3))_(3)C^(+) gt C_(6)H_(5)CH_(2)^(+) gt (CH_(3))_(2)CH^(+) gt CH_(3)CH_(2)^(+)`
Thus, option (d) is correct.

Select electrophiles out of the following : `H^(+), Na^(+), Cl^(-), C_(2)H_(5)OH, AlCl_(3), SO_(3), CN^(-), CH_(3)CH_(2)^(+), : C Cl_(2), R-X`

Answer» Electrophiles are : `H^(+), AlCl_(3), SO_(3), CH_(3)CH_(2)^(+), :C Cl_(2), R-X`.
In `SO_(3), O = underset(+)overset(O)overset(||)(S)-O^(-)`, S atom carries a positive charge and hence acts as an electrophile. In `AlCl_(3)`, Al atom has six and in : `C Cl_(2), C` atom has six electrons in the valence shell and hence each one of these needs two more electrons to complete their respective octets. As a result, both `AlCl_(3)` and `:C Cl_(2)` act as electrophiles. `overset(delta+)(R)-overset(delta-)(X)`, due to greater electronegativity of X, R carries a partial positive charge and hence acts as an electrophile.
`Na^(+)` ion does not act as an electrophile even though it has +ve charge. The reason being that it has already an octet of electrons in the valence shell. Further, `Na^(+)` cannot expand its valence shell beyond 8 electrons since it does not have d-orbitals.
269.

Answer» (i) The set of locants (2,5,6) is lower than the set of locants (3,5,7).
(ii) When substituents are at equivalent positions, lowest locant is given to that substituents which comes first in the alphabetical order. Therefore, lower locant 3 is assigned to ethyl and higher locant 5 is assigned to methyl group.
