Q. No. SECTION-D Marks
13 Read the given passage and answer the following questions based on the passage 4
and related studied concepts.
The polarity of a carbon-halogen bond of alkyl halides is responsible for their
nucleophilic substitution, elimination, and their reaction with metal atoms to form
organometallic compounds. Nucleophilic substitution reactions are categorized into
SN1 and SN2 based on their kinetic properties. Chirality has a profound role in
understanding the reaction mechanisms of SN1 and SN2 reactions. SN2 reactions of
chiral alkyl halides are characterized by the inversion of configuration, while SN1
reactions are characterized by racemisation.
Answer the following questions:
(a)What is meant by the chirality of a compound? Explain with one example.
(b) What is the role of polar protic solvent in nucleophilic substitution?
(c) What happens when methyl chloride is treated with KCN?
Q. No. SECTION-E Marks
14 Predict the products of the following reactions: 5

(a)Write the equations involved in the following reactions:
(i) Hydroboration-oxidation reaction
(ii) Williamson synthesis
(b)Write the mechanism of acid-catalysed hydration of ethene to yield ethanol.
(c) Explain why ortho nitrophenol is more acidic than ortho methoxyphenol ?
