 SECTION D

31. Read the passage and answer the following question: [1+1+2]
The existing large number of organic compounds and their ever-increasing numbers has made it
necessary to classify them on the basis of their structures. Organic compounds are broadly
classified as open-chain compounds which are also called aliphatic compounds and cyclic
compounds. Cyclic compounds are further classified as homocyclic and heterocyclic
compounds. Aromatic compounds are special types of compounds. Alicyclic compounds,
aromatic compounds may also have heteroatom in the ring. Such compounds are called
heterocyclic aromatic compounds. Organic compounds can also be classified on the basis of
functional groups, into families or homologous series. The members of a homologous series can
be represented by general molecular formula and the successive members differ from each other
in molecular formula by a –CH2 unit.

(I)Define aliphatic compounds. Give one example.

(II)Draw structure of pyridine.

(III)Define homologous series. Write structural formula for first two members of alkanoic acid.

Hydrocarbons are compounds of hydrogen and carbon. These are obtained from petroleum,
natural gas and coal. Methane, ethane, acetylene and benzene are examples of hydrocarbons.
Petrol, kerosene, coal gas, oil gas, CNG, LPG, PNG are all hydrocarbons and their mixtures.
Saturated hydrocarbons undergo free radical substitution reactions whereas unsaturated
hydrocarbons undergo addition reactions. Aromatic hydrocarbons like benzene undergo
electrophilic substitution reaction. The stability of intermediate like free radicals, carbocations,
carbanions are influenced by inductive effect and resonance or mesomeric effect.

(I)What are saturated hydrocarbons? Give one example.

(II)Write increasing order of stability of carbocations.

In modern periodic table, position of element is related to its configuration. Group number can be
identified with the help of valence electrons whereas period number is equal to number of shells. In

electronegativity and electron gain enthalpies.
