ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS

Question 1.

Explain the term ‘Organic Chemistry ’. State the ‘Natural sources ’ and ‘Importance’ of organic compounds.
Answer:

  1. Organic Chemistry-It is the chemistry of specific carbon compounds except – oxides, carbonates, bicarbonates and metallic carbides.
  2. Plants, Animals, Petroleum, dyes and drugs are all natural sources.
  3. Compounds of organic origin are : Food – carbohydrates, vitamins Dyes-azodyes Clothing – cotton, silk and wool Fuels – petrol Medicines – penicillin Explosives – trinitrotoluene.

Question 2.

Explain the ‘unique nature of carbon atom’ with specific reference and meaning to —
(a) ‘Tetravalency’ — leading to formation of single, double and triple bonds
(b) ‘Catenation’ — leading to formation of straight chain, branch chain and cyclic compounds.
Answer:
Some unique properties shown by carbon atom are :
(a) Tetravalency
(b) Catenation
(c) Ability to form multiple bonds.
(a) Tetravalency : Atomic number of carbon is 6. Its electronic configuration is 2, 4. Therefore, it has four electrons in its valence shell. Carbon atom can neither lose nor gain electrons to complete its octet (not possible from energy point of view). Therefore, carbon atom completes its octet by sharing four electrons with other atoms, i.e., it can form four covalent bonds, called its tetracovalency.
For example:
Ans 1 ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS Organic Chemistry Dalal Simplified ICSE

(b) Catenation: The property by virtue of which a large number of atoms of the same element get linked together through single or multiple covalent bonds, forming straight or branched chains and rings of different sizes, is called catenation. Carbon shows catenation to the maximum extent due to strong carbon-carbon bonds and its tetracovalency.

In this process of catenation, carbon atoms form straight or branched chains and cyclic rings of various sizes and can involve single, double or triple covalent bonds.

Question 3.

State reasons for ‘Justification of a separate branch’ for ‘Organic Chemistry.
Answer:
This is due to the following reasons:

  1. The number of known organic compounds is very large as compared to the number of known inorganic compounds.

  3. and Organic compounds have complex nature and have high molecular mass.
  4.  compounds of carbon  involve covalent bonds whereas inorganic compounds involve electrovalent bonds.
  5. Organic compounds show isomerism whereas inorganic compounds do not show isomerism.

Answer:
Homologous series is a series of organic compounds, that are grouped into a smaller number of series of compound.

General Characteristics of homologous series :
  1. The members of a series have same functional group.
  2. Two consecutive members of a homologous series differs each other in their composition
    by – CH2unit
    Example :
    Alcohol (-OH)
    CH3 – OH, CH3 – CH2 – OH, CH3 – CH2 – CH2 – OH
  3. The members of a homologous series can be represented by same general formula.
    Example :
    Alcohol-CnH2n+1OH
    Aldehyde — CnH2n+1|CHO
    Carboyxlic acid — CnH2n+1COOH
  4. The members of a particular homologous series have almost same chemical properties due to presence of same functional group.
  5. The physical properties (like solubility, melting point, boiling point, state) of members of a homologous series either gradually increase or decrease with increase in molecular mass.
  6. The members of a homologous series can be prepared by same or common general method of preparation.

Question 9.

Explain the terms — ‘Isomers’ and ‘Isomerism’. State the ‘Characteristics of isomers’ with reference to —
Properties of isomers ; Number of isomers with relation to carbon atoms in the isomer.
Differentiate between — ‘Chain isomerism’ and ‘Position isomerism ’ – with suitable examples.
Answer:


‘Isomers’ and ‘Isomerism

Two or more compounds having the same molecular formula but different physical and chemical properties are called isomers and this phenomenon is known as isomerism.
Isomers have the same number of atoms of each element in them and the same atomic weight but differ in other properties. For example, there are two compounds with the molecular formula C2H6O. One is ethanol (ethyl alcohol), CH3CH2OH, a colorless liquid alcohol; the other is dimethyl ether, CH3OCH3, a colorless gaseous ether.
Alkanes with more than three carbon atoms form isomers. The various isomers differ in the framework of the carbon chains.

Differentiate between — ‘Chain isomerism’ and ‘Position isomerism’

Chain isomers: Compounds having same molecular formula with difference in carbon chain pattern like linear or branch are called chain isomers. 1-Pentyne is chain isomer for 3-methyl Butyne.
CH3 – CH2 – CH2 – C = CH and CH3– C(CH3) – C = CH
Position isomers: Compounds having same molecular formula ^ with difference in position of the functional group are called position isomers. 1-Butyne and 2-Butyne are position isomers.
CH3– CH2– C=CH and CH3 – C = C – CH3.

Question 10.

Explain the term – ‘Nomenclature’. State its need with reference to organic compounds. State the basic rules of Nomenclature by the trivial system – with suitable examples. Explain the longest chain rule and the smallest number for functional groups rule of Nomenclature by the IUPAC system – with suitable examples.

Answer:


(a) Nomenclature :
Nomenclature is the system of assignment of names to organic compounds.
Need for Nomenclature : Very large number of organic compounds with varying molecular structure need a systematic method of nomenclature. Further many a times same molecular formula represents two or more compounds (isomerism).
(b) Nomenclature by Trivial System:
In this method, name of an organic compound is derived from its;

  1. Source (e.g., benzoic acid is obtained by distillation from gum benzoin, fructose or fruit sugar from fruits etc).
  2. Latin or Greek origin (e.g., formic acid, HCOOH is present in sting of red ants, formicus in Latin means an ant).
  3. Properties (e.g., palmitic acid is an acid derived from palm oil etc).

(c) Longest Chain Rule :

In the nomenclature of alkanes, the longest continuous chain if C-atoms is selected. For this, alkyl groups, if present, are written in the expanded form.
For example,

Question 16.

Give reasons for

  1. alkanes are said to be saturated organic compounds
  2. alkenes are known as olefins
  3. alkenes are more reactive than alkanes
  4. ethanoic acid is known as an aliphatic monocarboxylic acid.

Answer:

  1. Alkanes do not undergo addition reactions and that is why they are called saturated hydrocarbons or saturated organic compounds. In alkanes all the four valencies of carbon atom are fully satisfied by forming single covalent bonds.
  2. Alkenes are called olefins because alkenes on treatment with halogens form oily products. (Latin: oleum = oil, ficare = to make)
  3. Due to the presence of C = C (carbon – carbon double bond) alkenes are more reactive than alkanes.
  4. Ethanoic acid (CH3 – COOH) contains only one – COOH group (carboxylic acid group) that is why it is called a monocarboxylic acid. As ethanoic acid does not contain a benzene right it is an alphatic monocarboxylic acid.

Question 17.

Explain the terms –

  1. Denaturated alcohol
  2. Glacial acetic acid
  3. Esterification

Answer:

Denaturated alcohol –

Ethyl alcohol containing pyridine or copper sulphate is termed – denaturated alcohol. It is used for – industrial applications only and hence made undrinkable.

Glacial acetic acid –

Anhydrous acetic acid on cooling below 16.5°C crystallizes out in the pure form, forming a crystalline mass resembling ice. Hence pure acetic acid is called glacial acetic acid.

Esterification –

It is known as condensation of an alcohol with an acid. Acetic acid on heating with an alcohol and dehydrating agent [cone. H2SO2] gives an ester – ethyl acetate.
