CHAPTER: ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, SOME BASIC PRINCIPLES
TOPIC:Electromeric effect, resonance and hyperconjugation
1. Which of the following best describes the electromeric effect? 1
a) The movement of π-electrons due to the b) The movement of σ-electrons due
presence of an electron-withdrawing to the presence of an electron-
group. donating group.
c) The movement of π-electrons due to d) The movement of σ-electrons due
the presence of an electron-donating to the presence of an electron-
group. withdrawing group
2. Which of the following statements about resonance structures is correct? 1
a) Resonance structures are different b) Resonance structures differ only in
molecules with different the placement of lone pairs of
connectivity. electrons.
c) Resonance structures have the same d) Resonance structures are only found in
placement of atoms but differ in the molecules with a single π-bond.
distribution of electrons
3. Which of the following best describes hyperconjugation? 1
a) The interaction of filled σ-orbitals b) The interaction of filled p-orbitals
with empty p-orbitals adjacent to a with empty σ-orbitals adjacent to a π-
σ-bond. bond.
c) The interaction of filled π-orbitals d) The interaction of filled π-orbitals
with empty p-orbitals adjacent to a with empty σ-orbitals adjacent to a σ-
π-bond bond.
For question no. 4 to 5 there are two statements labelled as Assertion (A) and Reason (R)
Select the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.
4. ASSERTION: Benzene exhibits resonance where π-electrons are delocalized over all six 1
carbon atoms in a cyclic structure.
REASON: Resonance in benzene results in alternating double and single bonds
between carbon atoms.
5. ASSERTION: Hyperconjugation stabilizes carbocations by delocalizing electron density 1
from adjacent C-H σ-bonds.
REASON: This phenomenon involves the overlap of a filled π-orbital with an adjacent
empty σ*-orbital.
6. Explain the concept of the electromeric effect with an example. 2
7. Describe hyperconjugation and its role in stabilizing carbocations. 3
