26) B-CH3CHBRCH=CH2 has identical atoms attached to one of the carbon atoms in the double bond- so no cis-trans in this compound.

A,B,D - exhibits cis-trans isomerism.

But only D has a Carbon atom which has 4 different atoms/groups attached to it - hence only D will can show optical isomerism.

I hope it makes sense.  :-[

29)D (CH3)3CBr

-Tertiary halogenoalkane.
-Undergoes hydrolysis by SN1 mechanism.
-Reaction takes place in two steps.
-Since the rate determining step doesn't involve the nucleophile,changing the concentration of OH- doesn't affect the rate of the SN1 reaction.

Yes.


The answer to 23 is C.

elemis:
In the first one, why isnt the answer D ?

Reduction is the GAIN of Hydrogen, right ? In step 2 a massive molecule is added that has several hydrogens. Isnt this reduction ?

Can you explain why the answer is C ?

In the second one, I have marked the chiral centre. Is it correct ?

Amelia:
 ^ There are three methyl groups in 2,2dimethylbutane. Available for Chlorine radicals to attack on. So free radicals are formed from each Ch3's.
