General Instructions :
Read the following instructions very carefully and strictly follow them :
(i) This question paper comprises four Sections – A, B, C and D. There are
37 questions in the question paper. All questions are compulsory.
(ii) Section A – Questions no. 1 to 20 are very short answer type questions,
carrying 1 mark each. Answer these questions in one word or one sentence.
(iii) Section B – Questions no. 21 to 27 are short answer type questions, carrying
2 marks each.
(iv) Section C – Questions no. 28 to 34 are long answer type-I questions, carrying
3 marks each.
(v) Section D – Questions no. 35 to 37 are long answer type-II questions, carrying
5 marks each.
(vi) There is no overall choice in the question paper. However, an internal choice
has been provided in 2 questions of two marks, 2 questions of three marks and
all the 3 questions of five marks. You have to attempt only one of the choices in
such questions.
(vii) In addition to this, separate instructions are given with each section and
question, wherever necessary.
(viii) Use of calculators and log tables is not permitted.

SECTION A

Read the given passage and answer the questions number 1 to 5 that follow : 15=5

The substitution reaction of alkyl halide mainly occurs by SN1 or SN2

mechanism. Whatever mechanism alkyl halides follow for the
substitution reaction to occur, the polarity of the carbon halogen bond is
responsible for these substitution reactions. The rate of SN1 reactions are
governed by the stability of carbocation whereas for SN2 reactions steric
factor is the deciding factor. If the starting material is a chiral compound,
we may end up with an inverted product or racemic mixture depending
upon the type of mechanism followed by alkyl halide. Cleavage of ethers
with HI is also governed by steric factor and stability of carbocation,
which indicates that in organic chemistry, these two major factors help
us in deciding the kind of product formed.
