Functional group isomerism occurs when compounds have the same molecular formula but different functional groups, like ethyl alcohol (C₂H₆O) and dimethyl ether (C₂H₆O).
In homolytic cleavage, what happens to the bond electrons?
Show answer
One electron goes to each atom
In homolytic cleavage, the bond breaks such that one electron from the bond pair goes to each of the two atoms, forming free radicals.
Which of the following shows negative inductive effect (-I effect)? (Select all correct)
Show answer
-Cl (Chloro), -NO₂ (Nitro), -CN (Cyano)
Groups that are more electronegative than carbon show -I effect by withdrawing electron density. -Cl, -NO₂, and -CN are electron-withdrawing groups. Alkyl groups like -CH₃ and -C₂H₅ show +I effect.
