Sample questions

Question 1
Assertion (A): The boiling points of alkyl halides decrease in the order RI > RBr > RCl > RF. Reason (R): The boiling points of alkyl halides are governed by the strength of intermolecular forces, which are stronger for larger and heavier halogen atoms due to increased van der Waals forces.
Question 2
Match the reactions in Column I with their major products/characteristics in Column II. (A) CH_3CH_2Br + KCN \rightarrow (B) CH_3CH_2Br + AgCN \rightarrow (C) CH_3CH_2Br + KNO_2 \rightarrow (D) CH_3CH_2Br + AgNO_2 \rightarrow (I) Nitroethane (II) Ethyl isocyanide (III) Ethyl cyanide (IV) Ethyl nitrite
Question 3
Consider the reaction of (R)-2-bromobutane with OH^- in acetone/water mixture. Which statement best describes the stereochemical outcome?
