This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar
The correct answer is (ii).The mirror copies of the molecules (a), (b), and (c) are non-superimposable. Because all four species linked to the carbon atom are identical, molecule (d) cannot have an asymmetric carbon atom, thus the mirror image of (d) when rotated 180? is superimposable on the original picture.

The Correct Answer is Option (iii).
Isomeric alkyl halides' boiling points are related to their branching, with a reduction in B.P. as branching increases. As a result, the boiling point of the tertiary isomer is the lowest, while that of the primary isomer is the highest. Thus, the order of lowering boiling points is (b) > (a) > (c).

The Correct Answer is Option (i).
Alkyl halides have a higher density than water. Their densities are determined by the masses of the halogen atoms, the number of halogen atoms, and the number of carbon atoms. Simply expressed, Br has an atomic mass of 79 while Cl has an atomic mass of 35. (d) will be the heaviest of the molecules, followed by (c), (b), and (a). Because density is exactly proportional to mass, the order of decreasing densities will be the same. The right answer is (i).

The correct Answer is Option (i).
Chlorination in the presence of UV light can be used to produce alkyl chlorides from alkanes. Under the action of UV radiation, the chlorine molecule generates free radicals, which react with alkanes to create a mixture of isomeric mono- and poly haloalkanes.

Option (i)
The correct answer is option (i). Option (i) is an example of a Finklestein reaction, which is a halogen exchange reaction that produces alkyl iodide by treating alkyl halides with NaI in dry acetone. Option (ii) is an addition reaction in which an alkene is transformed to the equivalent alkyl halide. Option (iii) is a substitution reaction, whereas option (iv) is an electrophilic substitution reaction.

The Correct Answer is Option (ii). Toluene is an aromatic hydrocarbon (C6H5-CH3) that may be treated with halogens and utilised in an electrophilic substitution process to create aryl halides in the presence of the Lewis acid catalyst iron (III) chloride. In the absence of light, the reaction is carried out using chlorine or bromine, and the products are o- and p- haloarenes.

The correct answer is (i). Sandmeyer's reaction can be used to synthesise haloarenes from amines. A primary aromatic amine that has been dissolved or suspended in cold aqueous mineral acid is treated with sodium nitrite to create a diazonium salt in this procedure. When this freshly produced salt is combined with cuprous chloride, the diazonium group is replaced with - Cl, resulting in aryl chloride. Option I is the chemical Y, which is an aryl chloride.

The Correct Answer is Option (iv) Because the tertiary carbocation is the most stable, it interacts the most with concentrated HCl. As a result, for tertiary alcohol, room temperature is sufficient for the reaction. However, for primary and secondary alcohols, the presence of a catalyst (ZnCl2) is required.
As a result, option (iv) is accurate.

The Correct Answer is Option (ii). Haloalkanes are made by combining alcohols with halogen acids, in which the hydroxyl group of the alcohol is replaced by the halogen. Primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols are represented by options (A), (B), and (C). Tertiary alcohols are more reactive than secondary and primary alcohols, and they generate haloalkanes from haloacids without the need of catalysts at ambient temperature. Alcohols have a reactivity order of 3? >2? >1? . As a result, the proper option is (ii).
