Draw other resonance structures related to the following structure and find out whether the functional group present in the molecule is ortho, para directing or meta directing.

Which of the products will be major product in the reaction given below?

Explain.

CH₃CH=CH₂ + HI → CH₃CH₂CH₂I + CH₃CHICH₃

(A) (B)

Why is the solubility of haloalkanes in water very low?

Classify the following compounds as primary, secondary and tertiary halides.

(i) 1-Bromobut-2-ene

(ii) 4-Bromopent-2-ene

(iii) 2-Bromo-2-methylpropane

Compound ‘A’ with molecular formula C₄H₉Br is treated with aq. KOH solution. The rate of this reaction depends upon the concentration of the compound ‘A’ only. When another optically active isomer ‘B’ of this compound was treated with aq. KOH solution, the rate of reaction was found to be dependent on concentration of compound and KOH both.

(i) Write down the structural formula of both compounds ‘A’ and ‘B’.

(ii) Out of these two compounds, which one will be converted to the product with inverted configuration?
