Q:

Which one of the following statements is not correct?

 

A) Fischer projection represents the molecule in an eclipsed conformation B) Newman projection can be represented in eclipsed, staggered and skew conformations
C) Fischer projection of the molecule is its most stable conformation D) In Sawhorse projections, the lines are inclined at an angle of 120 deg to each other.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Fischer projection of the molecule is its most stable conformation

Explanation:

Fischer projections were originally proposed for the depiction of carbohydrates and used by chemists, particularly in organic chemistry and biochemistry.A Fischer projection always uses an eclipsed conformation. A Newman diagram can represent either an eclipsed conformation or a staggered conformation or a skew conformation.

Q:

Which one of the following elements cannot be detected by "Lassaigne's test"?

A) I B) Cl
C) S D) F
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) F

Explanation:

The sodium fusion test, or Lassaigne's test, is used in elemental analysis for the qualitative determination of the presence of foreign elements, namely halogens, nitrogen, and sulphur, in an organic compound. It was developed by J. L. Lassaigne.Silver fluoride is soluble in water and does not precipitate and thus this method cannot be used for detection of fluorine.

(Compound/Molecule)         (Shape of Molecule)

A. CH3F                            1. Trigonal planar

B. HCHO                           2. Tetrahedral

C. HCN                             3. Trigonal pyramidal

D. NH3                             4. Linear

A) 2 4 1 3 B) 2 1 4 3
C) 3 4 1 2 D) 3 1 4 2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2 1 4 3

Explanation:

HCHO: The carbon and and the oxygen are bonded through a double bond which counts as "one electron pair". Hence the molecule has three electron pairs and is trigonal planar.
