Worked practice questions

As per your syllabus, a CARBANION has the central carbon in which hybridisation and shape?

  1. sp linear
  2. sp³ tetrahedral
  3. sp² trigonal planar
  4. sp³ pyramidal
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. sp³ pyramidal

syllabus Fig 8.3(b): carbanion is sp³ with a lone pair ⇒ pyramidal (like NH₃).

As per your syllabus, a species formed by homolysis with an unpaired electron is called which?

  1. Carbanion
  2. Free radical
  3. Nucleophile
  4. Carbocation
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Free radical

Your syllabus: homolytic cleavage gives free radicals (single unpaired electron on each fragment).

As per your syllabus, a NUCLEOPHILE is best described as which kind of species?

  1. Electron-pair donor
  2. Proton donor
  3. Neutral always
  4. Electron-pair acceptor
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Electron-pair donor

Your syllabus: nucleophile (Nu:) donates an electron pair to form a new bond at an electrophilic centre.
