Question

Match the compounds given in Column (A) with their examples given in Column (B):

• A. A-(c), B-(b), C-(d), D-(a)
• B. A-(b), B-(c), C-(d), D-(a)
• C. A-(d), B-(a), C-(b), D-(c)
• D. A-(b), B-(d), C-(a), D-(c)

Hint:

Aldehydes have the structure \(\text{R}-\text{CHO}\), while carboxylic acids have the \(\text{COOH}\) group, and alkenes have a carbon-carbon double bond.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Let's analyze the compounds given in Column A and match them with the correct examples in Column B.
Step 1: Aldehyde
- Aldehydes have the general formula \(\text{R}-\text{CHO}\), where \(\text{R}\) is a hydrocarbon group. In the structure provided in Column B, option (c) shows a molecule with an aldehyde group, \(\text{C}-\text{H}\), which is an aldehyde. Hence, A-(c).
Step 2: Alkene
- Alkenes are hydrocarbons with at least one double bond between carbon atoms. In Column B, option (b) has a carbon-carbon double bond, which is characteristic of alkenes. Hence, B-(b).
Step 3: Carboxylic acid
- Carboxylic acids have the functional group \(\text{COOH}\). In Column B, option (d) shows a carboxyl group, \(\text{C}-\text{O}-\text{OH}\), which is a carboxylic acid. Hence, C-(d).
Step 4: Haloalkane
- Haloalkanes are compounds that have a halogen atom (like chlorine, bromine, etc.) attached to an alkane chain. In Column B, option (a) shows a carbon bonded to a bromine atom, which is a haloalkane. Hence, D-(a).
Step 5: Conclusion.
Therefore, the correct matching is A-(c), B-(b), C-(d), D-(a). The correct answer is (A).
