Answer : Option AExplaination / Solution:
Phenol reacts with sodium hydroxide solution to give a colourless solution containing sodium phenoxide. In this reaction, the hydrogen ion has been removed by the strongly basic hydroxide ion in the sodium hydroxide solution.
Q6.Aromatic compounds are charachterized by the presence of _____ π electrons in the ring where n is an integer (n = 0, 1, 2, . . .).
Answer : Option DExplaination / Solution:
Huckel rule which explains the unusual stability of cyclic conjugated polyenes(i.e. aromatic compounds) over other cyclic unsaturatrd compounds which do not contain (4n+2) pi electrons.
Q9.Oxidation number of −1/2 is assigned to oxygen atom in
Answer : Option BExplaination / Solution: In the superoxide ion, O2−, the oxygen has an oxidation number of −1/2. The stability of metal superoxides depends on the size and the electropositive character of the metal. The larger the metal and the more electropositive it is, the greater the stability of its superoxide.
