The rate of the reaction is influenced by the hyperconjugation effect of group R. If R is sequentially `CH_(3)^(-)` (II) `CH_(3)-CH_(2)` (III) `CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)CH-` , (IV) `H_(3)C-overset(CH_(3))overset(|)underset(CH_(3))underset(|)C-` the increasing order of speed of above reaction isA. IV,III,II,IB. I,II,III,IVC. I,IV,III,IID. III,II,I,IV

Answer» Correct Answer - B
More the number of H atoms on the `alpha` carbon of the group R, more are the hyper conjugation structures, weaker is the C-B bond and hence higher is the rate of reaction.
Now since `CH_(3)` has three, ethyl has two, iso- propyl has one and tert butyl group has no `alpha`-hydrogen, therefore, hyper conjugation effect decreases and hence the rate decreases in the same order (B), is correct

`CH_(3)overset(+)CH_(2)` is the most stable carbocation. This can be explained as follows. The electronegativity of carbon increases as its hybridisation from `sp^(3)`. to `sp^(2)` to sp i.e., carbon which is `sp^(3)`-hybridised is least electronegative and `sp^(2)`-hybridised carbon is most electronegative. An element with least electronegativity can best accommodate + ve charge. In `CH_(3)overset(+)CH_(2)`, carbon is `sp^(3)` hybridised

Explain why `(CH_(3))_(3)overset(+)C`is more stable than `CH_(3)overset(+)CH_(2)` and `CH_(3)` is the least stable cation

Answer» Hyperconjugation interaction in `(CH_(3))_(3)overset(+)C` is greater than in `CH_(3)overset(+)CH_(2)` as the `(CH_(3))_(3)overset(+)C` has nine C-h bonds. In `CH_(3)`, vacant p orbital is perpendicular to the plane in which C-H bonds lie, hence cannot overlap with it. Thus, `overset(+)CH_(3)` lacks hyperconjugative stability
379.

Explain why `(CH_(3))_(3)overset(+)(C)` is more stable than `CH_(3)overset(+)(C)H_(2)` and `overset(+)(C)H_(3)` is the least stable cation.

Answer» `(CH_(3))_(3)overset(+)(C)` has nine `alpha`-hydrogens and hence has nine hyperconjugation structures while `CH_(3)overset(+)(C)H_(2)` has only three `alpha`-hydrogens and hence has only three hyperconjugation structures. As a result, `(CH_(3))_(3)C^(+)` is more stable than `CH_(3)CH_(2)^(+)`. In contrast in `CH_(3)^(+)`, the vacant p-orbital is perpendicular to the plane in which the three C-H bonds lie and hence cannot overlap with it. Thus, `CH_(3)^(+)` is not stabilized by hyperconjugation and hence is the least stable of the three cations.

Explain, how is the electronegativity of carbon atoms related to the state of hybridisation in an organic compound ?

Answer» Electrongeativity of carbonn atom, also depends on the hybidisation of the carbon atom. Since, s-electrons are more strongly attracted by the nucleus than p-electons, thus, electronegativity increases with increase in s-character of the hybridised orbital i.e.,
`underset(sp^(3) lt sp^(2) lt sp)overset(25% 33.3% 50%)rarr` Hybridisation
`underset(underset("of electronegativity")("Increasing order"))overset(overset("Increasing order")("of % s-character"))rarr`
Thus, sp-hybridised carbon is the most electronegative carbon

The `R_(f)` values of A and B in a mixture determined by TLC in a solvent mixture are 0.65 and 0.42 respectively. If the mixture is separated by column chromatography using the same solvent mixture as a mobile phase, which of the two components, A or B, will elute first? Explain.

Answer» Since the `R_(f)` value of A is 0.65, therefore, it is less strongly adsorbed as compared to component B with `R_(f)` value of 0.42. Therefore, on extraction of the column, A will elute first.
394.

An organic reaction occurs through making and breaking of bonds. The breaking of bonds may occur either homolytically leading to the formation of radicals or heterolytically generating positively and negatively charged species. The neutral species (free radicals, carbenes, nitrenes, etc.) and positively charged species being electron deifcient are collectively called electrophiles while neutral and negatively charged species which are electron rich are called nucleophiles. An organic reaction usually involves the attack of a reagent (radicals, positively and negatively charged species) on the substrate molecule). The substrate molecule, although as a whole electrically neutral, has centres of low and high electron density due to displacement of bonding electrons. These electrons displacements occur through inductive, electromeric occur through inductive, electromeric, resonance and hyperconjugation effects. Whereas inductive effects involve displacement transfer of n-and `pi`-electrons along a conjugated system. Hypercongation effects, on the other hand, involve `sigma-pi`-conjugation. Both inductive and hyperconjugation effects can be used to explain the stability of carbocations and free radicals which follow the stability order: `3^(@) gt 2^(@) gt 1^(@)`. The stability of carbanions, however, follows opposite order. The stability of a molecule can be judged on the basis of contribution of its resonance structures. Resonance structures have same position of nuclei and have same number of unpaired electrons. Among resonance structures, the one which has greater number of covalent bonds, has less separation of opposite Charges, a negative charge on more electronegative and a positive charge on a more electropostive atom are more stable than others. Which of the following is the most stable cation ?A. `F_(3)C - CH_(2)^(+)`B. `(CH_(3))_(2)CH^(+)`C. `CH_(3)^(+)`D. `CF_(3)^(-)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Carbocation are stabilized by +I -effect of `CH_(3)` groups and destabilized by +I-effect of F atoms. Therefore, `(CH_(3))_(2)overset(+)(C)H` is the most stable carbocation.
