The correct stability order of carbocations is

Solution & Explanation

### Core Logic The stability of alkyl carbocations is primarily determined by the +I (inductive) effect of alkyl groups and hyperconjugation. 1. (mathrmCH_3)_3mathrmC^+ (tert-butyl carbocation) has 9 alpha-hydrogens, leading to 9 hyperconjugative structures. It is the most stable. 2. (mathrmCH_3)_2mathrmCH^+ (isopropyl carbocation) has 6 alpha-hydrogens. 3. mathrmCH_3-mathrmCH_2^+ (ethyl carbocation) has 3 alpha-hydrogens. 4. mathrmCH_3^+ (methyl carbocation) has 0 alpha-hydrogens and is the least stable. The greater the number of hyperconjugable hydrogens (alpha-hydrogens), the more stable the carbocation. ### Pattern Recognition Stability of alkyl carbocations: 3^circ > 2^circ > 1^circ > textmethyl due to hyperconjugation (+H) and inductive (+I) effects. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Organic Chemistry Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Numerical Answer. Answer: 111 to 111

Solution

Q47 jee_main_2025_03_april_morning Quantitative Analysis - Estimation of Carbon
0.5 g of an organic compound on combustion gave 1.46 g of CO_2 and 0.9 g of H_2O. The percentage of carbon in the compound is _____. (Nearest integer) [Given: Molar mass (in textg mol^-1) C: 12, H: 1, O: 16]
Numerical Answer. Answer: 80 to 80

Solution

### Related Formula The percentage of carbon via combustion details is found using: % text C = frac1244 times fractextMass of CO_2textMass of organic compound times 100 ### Core Logic Let us substitute the parameters: * Mass of organic compound = 0.5text g * Mass of CO_2 collected = 1.46text g ### Step 1: Numerical Calculation \% text C = frac1244 times frac1.460.5 times 100 % text C = frac12 times 1.4622 times 100 approx 79.63% Rounding to the nearest integer gives 80. ### Pattern Recognition Shortcut: frac1244 approx 0.2727. Multiply 0.2727 times 1.46 to find the carbon mass (0.398text g). Since 0.398text g out of 0.5text g is practically frac45, the value is \right around 80\%. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Organic Chemistry - Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Solution

### Related Formula textBasicity propto textAvailability of lone pair of electrons on Nitrogen ### Core Logic Analyzing the molecules: - In molecule **(R)**, according to Bredt's rule, the bridgehead nitrogen has a localized lone pair which cannot participate in resonance. Thus, it is highly available and most basic. - In molecule **(Q)**, the nitrogen lone pair is involved in cross-conjugation with the carbonyl group, reducing its availability. - In molecule **(P)**, the lone pair on nitrogen is directly conjugated with the carbonyl group (amide resonance), making it the least available. Therefore, the correct basicity order is: R > Q > P ### Step 1: Final Identification

Basicity breakdown explanation diagram for Q26
The diagram displays three nitrogen-containing organic structures labeled P, Q, and R for basicity comparison.
Comparing availability, structure R has localized electrons, Q has cross-conjugation, and P has standard amide resonance. Hence, option (4) is correct. ### Pattern Recognition Look for localized vs delocalized lone pairs on nitrogen. Bridgehead nitrogen lone pairs that violate Bredt's rule for double bond formation remain strictly localized, drastically increasing basicity compared to conjugated amides. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Some Basic Principles of Organic Chemistry

Solution

### Related Formula textStability propto textDelocalization of charge via resonance, mesomeric, and back-bonding effects ### Core Logic Evaluating each specific structural pair: - **Pair (A):** The first carbocation is stabilized by strong +M back-bonding from the methoxy (-OMe) oxygen lone pair, making it significantly more stable than the second. - **Pair (B):** The first carbanion is strongly stabilized by the -M and -I electronic effects of the nitro (-NO_2) group situated at the ortho position, whereas a carbocation in that spot would be destabilized. Thus, the first ion is more stable. - **Pair (C):** The second cation has extended allylic resonance stabilization, meaning the first is less stable. - **Pair (D):** Cation with -OMe backbonding is more stable than tertiary aliphatic carbocation, making the first less stable than the second. Thus, only in **(A) & (B)** is the first ion more stable than the second. ### Pattern Recognition Back-bonding from an adjacent oxygen lone pair always triumphs over standard inductive or hyperconjugative alkyl stability templates. For carbanions, ensure electron-withdrawing groups like -NO_2 match the sign of the charge. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Some Basic Principles of Organic Chemistry

Solution

### Related Formula textPrincipal Functional Group Priority: -OH > textDouble bond (=) ge textTriple bond (equivtext) ### Core Logic Number the seven-carbon parent chain from the side that gives the principal functional group (-OH) and double bond the lowest locants: - Numbering from right-to-left gives locants: alkene at position 1, alcohol at 4, and alkyne at 6. - Numbering from left-to-right gives locants: alkyne at 1, alcohol at 4, alkene at 6. According to IUPAC rules, when choices are symmetric for the principal group, the lower locant is given to the double bond over the triple bond. Hence, right-to-left numbering is correct: overset7textHoverset6textCequiv overset5textC-overset4textCtextH_2-overset3textCtextH(OH)-overset2textCtextH_2-overset1textCtextH=textCH_2 This gives: **Hept-1-en-6-yn-4-ol**. ### Pattern Recognition When terminal unsaturations are tied symmetrically (positions 1 and 6), the alkene ('en') takes prefix allocation priority over the alkyne ('yn'). The secondary alcohol suffix '-ol' forms the principal name ending. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Some Basic Principles of Organic Chemistry
