Question 4.
What is aromatization? How will you convert ^hexane into benzene?

Answer:
Aromatization. It is the process that involves cyclization, isomerization, and dehydrogenation with the application of heat and catalyst to convert alkanes containing six or more carbon atoms into aromatic hydrocarbons.

Question 5.
Give the different conformations of ethane with their
(i) Sawhorse representation and
(ii) Newmann Projection formulae.

Answer:
Sawhorse representation Newmann projection models

Question 6.
What are the relative stabilities of different conformations of ethane? Is it possible to isolate these at room temperature?

Answer:
The staggering form of ethane is more stable than the eclipsed form because the force of repulsion between hydrogen atoms on adjacent C atoms is minimum. The energy difference between the staggered form and eclipsed form of ethane is just 12.55 kJ mol-1. Therefore, it is not possible to separate these two forms of ethane at room temperature.

Question 7.
What is Saytzeff Rule? What are the expected products when 2-Bromobutane is dehydrohalogenation with ale. KOH?

Answer:
Saytzeff Rule. Whatever two alkenes are theoretically possible during a dehydrohalogenation reaction, it is always the more highly substituted alkene that predominates.

Question 8.
What is the order of reactivity of H2C = CH2, (CH3)2, H2C = CH2, CH3 – CH = CH2, CH3 – CH = CH – CH3, (CH3)2 C = C (CH3)2, (CH3)2 C = CH CH3 towards electrophilic addition reactions?

Answer:
The order of reactivity of the above alkenes towards electrophilic addition reactions decreases in the order.
(CH3)2 C = C (CH3)2 > (CH33)2 C = CH CH3 > (CH3)2 C = CH2 > CH3 CH – CH – CH3 > CH3 – CH = CH, > CH2 = CH2.

Question 9.
Define Markownikov rule. Explain it with an example.

Answer:
Markownikov rule states. The negative part of the addendum adding to an unsymmetric alkene goes to that C atom of the double bond which is attached to a lesser number of C atoms.

Question 10.
What is the Peroxide effect/Kharasch Effect? Illustrate with an example.

Answer:
In the presence of peroxides such as benzoyl peroxide, the addition of HBr (but not of HCl or HI) to an unsymmetrical alkene takes place contrary to the Markownikov rule. This is known as the peroxide/Kharsch effect.
