SECTION D

31 Read the text carefully and answer the questions: 4

IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) system of
nomenclature. Common names are useful and in many cases indispensable,
particularly when the alternative systematic names are lengthy and complicated. A
systematic name of an organic compound is generally derived by identifying the
parent hydrocarbon and the functional group(s) attached to it. By using prefixes and
suffixes, the parent name can be modified to obtain the actual name. In a
branchedchain compound, small chains of carbon atoms are attached at one or more
carbon atoms of the parent chain. The small carbon chains (branches) are called alkyl
groups. An alkyl group is derived from a saturated hydrocarbon by removing a
hydrogen atom from carbon. Abbreviations are used for some alkyl groups. For
example, methyl is abbreviated as Me, ethyl as Et, propyl as Pr and butyl as Bu
. i. Draw the structure of 3-Ethyl-4,4-dimethylheptane. OR Why CH4 after becoming-
CH3 called a methyl group?
ii. How is the numbering in branched chain hydrocarbon done?
iii. Derive the structure of 2-Chlorohexane.
32 . Read the text carefully and answer the questions: When anions and cations approach 4
each other, the valence shell of anions are pulled towards the cation nucleus and thus,
the shape of the anion is deformed. The phenomenon of deformation of anion by a
cation is known as polarization and the ability of the cation to polarize the anion is
called as polarizing power of cation. Due to polarization, sharing of electrons occurs
between two ions to some extent and the bond shows some covalent character. The
magnitude of polarization depends upon a number of factors
i. Out of AlCl3 and AlI3 which halides show maximum polarization?
ii. Out of AlCl3 and CaCl2 which one is more covalent in nature?
iii. The non-aqueous solvent like ether is added to the mixture of LiCl, NaCl and KCl.
