  1. What is the correct name for the compound CH3-CO-CH3?

    Answer: Acetone (Propanone)

    CH3-CO-CH3 is acetone (IUPAC: propanone), a ketone with the carbonyl group in the middle of a three-carbon chain.

  2. Which type of polymerization forms nylon?

    Answer: Condensation polymerization

    Nylon is formed by condensation polymerization between a diamine and a dicarboxylic acid, releasing water as a byproduct.

  3. What is the IUPAC name for formic acid (HCOOH)?

    Answer: Methanoic acid

    HCOOH is methanoic acid (formic acid) in IUPAC nomenclature, as it has only one carbon atom in the carboxylic acid group.

  4. Which test is used to detect the presence of a carbon-carbon double bond?

    Answer: Bromine water test

    Bromine water (Br2/H2O) is decolorized by alkenes through addition across the C=C double bond, indicating unsaturation.

  5. What is the major product of Markovnikov addition of HBr to propene (CH3-CH=CH2)?

    Answer: 2-Bromopropane

    Markovnikov's rule states that H adds to the carbon with more H atoms, so Br adds to the middle carbon of propene, giving 2-bromopropane.

  6. What is the name of the reaction where an organic halide reacts with aqueous KOH to form an alcohol?

    Answer: Nucleophilic substitution

    The reaction of haloalkanes with aqueous KOH undergoes SN2 (nucleophilic substitution) where OH⁻ replaces the halide, forming an alcohol.
