The stability of 2,3-dimethyl but-2-ene is more than 2-butene. This can be explained in terms of:

1. resonance

2. hyperconjugation

3. electromeric effect

4. inductive effect

Who pointed out the concept of hyperconjugation?

(1) Nathan and Baker

(2) Mulliken

(3) Kekule

(4) Kolbe

(CH₃)₄N⁺ is neither an electrophile, nor a nucleophile because it:

1. does not have electron pair for donation as well as cannot attract electron pair

2. neither has electron pair available for donation nor can accommodate electron since all shells of N are fully occupied.

3. can act as Lewis acid and base

4. none of the above

Which of the following is the most unlikely resonance structure for the p-nitrophenoxide ion?

1.		2.
3.		4.

Which of the following is an electrophilic reagent?

1. RO^-

2. BF₃

3. NH₃

4. ROH

The +I (inductive effect) is shown by:

1. -CH₃

2. -OH

3. -F

4. -C₆H₅

The-I effect is shown by:

1. -COOH

2. -CH₃

3. -CH₃CH₂

4. -CHR₂

Which of the following is singlet carbene?

1. (CH₃)₃C⁺

2. C₂H₅-CH

3. ${\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{CH}}_2{\mathrm{CH}}_2^{-}$

4. CH₂ =CH-${\mathrm{CH}}_2^{+}$

Arrange H, CH₃, C₂H₅, and C₃H₇ in order of increasing positive inductive effect:

1. H < CH₃ < C₂H₅ < C₃H₇

2. H> CH₃ <C₂H₅ > C₃H₇

3. H < C₂H₅ < CH₃ <C₃H₇

4. None of the above
