Question:

Match the entries of column I with appropriate entries of column II and choose the correct option out of the four options given.

Column I Column II
(a) CH3—OH (i) Allyl alcohol
(b) CH3CH2—OH (ii) Methyl alcohol
(c) H2C=CH—CH2—OH (iii) Propayl alcohol
(d) HC≡C—CH2—OH (iv) Ethyl alcohol

 

Options:

(a)-(ii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(i), (d)-(iii)

(a)-(iii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(i), (d)-(ii)

(a)-(i), (b)-(iv), (c)-(ii), (d)-(iii)

(a)-(iv), (b)-(ii), (c)-(i), (d)-(iii)

Correct Answer:

(a)-(ii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(i), (d)-(iii)

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1. (a)-(ii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(i), (d)-(iii).

Column I Column II
(a) CH3—OH (ii) Methyl alcohol
(b) CH3CH2—OH (iv) Ethyl alcohol
(c) H2C=CH—CH2—OH (i) Allyl alcohol
(d) HC≡C—CH2—OH (iii) Propyl alcohol

Let us break down the matching of each compound to its correct description:

1. \(CH_3—OH\):ii. Methyl alcohol

This is Methanol, commonly known as Methyl alcohol. It has a single hydroxyl group attached to a carbon atom, making it the simplest alcohol.

2. \(CH_3CH_2—OH\): iv. Ethyl alcohol

This is Ethanol, commonly known as Ethyl alcohol. It has an ethyl group \((CH_3CH_2)\) attached to a hydroxyl group.

3. \(H_2C=CH—CH_2—OH\): i. Allyl alcohol

This compound is Allyl alcohol. It contains an allylic hydroxyl group, where the hydroxyl group is attached to a carbon that is adjacent to a double bond (allylic position).

4. \(HC≡C—CH_2—OH\): iii. Propyl alcohol

This is Propargyl alcohol. It has a hydroxyl group attached to a propargylic carbon, which is next to a carbon-carbon triple bond.

By matching these structures and their names, we can confidently say the correct option is: 1.(a)-(ii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(i), (d)-(iii)
