Chemistry NCERT Exemplar Solutions Class 12th Chapter Twelve

This is a Assertion and Reason Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Ans: D

Because of the presence of electron withdrawing carbonyl groups, the alpha hydrogen atom in carbonyl compounds is acidic. In nature, hydrogen is very acidic.

Because the cation is released in the form of H⁺ , the anion created after the loss of the -hydrogen atom is resonance stabilised.

Ans: E

The two reactions produce different products for different reasons. One involves the oxidation of aldehydes, while the other involves the reduction of carboxylic acids. Aldehydes are easily oxidised by mild oxidising agents, hence compounds containing  - CHO are rapidly oxidised.

Ans: A

The smallest aldehyde is formaldehyde. It features a triangular planar shape with two bond pairs and no lone pairings. C and O share one pair of electrons in their double bond. As a result, the C atom is sp² hybridised. As a result, both Assertion and Reason are true.

This is a Multiple Choice Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Correct options: A and B 

The given compound is a planar molecule with sp2 hybridised carbon. Carbon atoms are attacked by nucleophiles. If the nucleophile approaches from the front, the A and B molecules shift to the front and back positions, respectively, and the carbon becomes tetrahedral. Another alternative is that A and B molecules will be located above and below the plane, respectively. As a result, the choices C and D aren't represented as planar molecules.

Correct options: B and D

 Consider the following product CH₃ -CHO C and O are broken into positive and negative bonds. C should have one condition: hydrogen must be available; if it isn't, aldol condensation will not occur. When two products are mixed with the availability of - hydrogen, the positive and negative bonds between carbon and hydrogen are exchanged, and water (H₂0) is eliminated, resulting in aldol condensation.

Correct option: A

The Clemmensen Reduction method is used to reduce a carbonyl group to CH2. Amalgams are a type of reducing agent that has been around for a long time. In the Clemmensen reduction, hydrogen chloride acts as an acid, protonating the ketone and transferring the electrons from the zinc amalgam to the carbon atoms
