In E₂ elimination, some compounds follow Hofmann's rule which means:

1. the double bond goes to the most substituted carbon

2. the compound is resistant to elimination

3. no double bond is formed

4. the double bond goes mainly towards the least substituted carbon

The hydrolysis of alkyl halides by aqueous NaOH is best termed as:

(1) electrophilic substitution reaction

(2) electrophilic addition reaction

(3) nucleophilic addition reaction

(4) nucleophilic substitution reaction

S_N1 reaction on optically active substrates mainly gives:

1. Retention in configuration

2. Inversion in configuration

3. Racemic product

4. No product is obtained

"The negative part of the addendum adds on the carbon atom joined to the least number of hydrogen atoms." This statement is called as:

(1) Markownikoff's rule

(2) Peroxide effect

(3) Baeyer's strain theory

(4) Thiele's theory

Heterolysis of propane gives:

(1) Methyl and ethyl free radicals

(2) Methylium cation and Ethyl anion

(3) Methyl anion and Ethylium cation

(4) Methylium and Ethylium cations

Amongst the following which of the above are true for S_N2 reaction?

(i) The rate of reaction is independent of the concentration of the nucleophile

(ii) The nucleophile attacks the carbon atom on the side of the molecule opposite to the group being displaced.

(iii) The reaction proceeds with simultaneous bond formation and bond rupture.

(3) both (1) and (2)

(4) none of these

Dehydrogenation of ethanol to give ethanal is:$\left(1\right) \mathrm{additional} \mathrm{reaction}$

$\left(4\right) \mathrm{\alpha }-\mathrm{\gamma } \mathrm{elimination} \mathrm{reaction}$

Ease of abstraction of hydrogen is greater when attached to:

(1) 1$°$ carbon

(2) 2$°$ carbon

(3) 3$°$carbon

(4) neo carbon
