These are current-syllabus NeetVellum questions, shown separately from historical-paper provenance.
Example 1 · difficulty 1/5
At room temperature, which of the following isomeric monochloro derivatives of butane has the highest boiling point?
A. 1-Chlorobutane
B. 2-Chloro-2-methylpropane
C. 2-Chlorobutane
D. 1-Chloro-2-methylpropane
Example 2 · difficulty 2/5
In the Finkelstein reaction, R–X + NaI → R–I + NaX, the conversion of a chloroalkane or bromoalkane to the corresponding iodoalkane is carried out specifically in dry acetone because:
A. water dissolves all the salts equally well, keeping the system at equilibrium
B. ethanol stabilises the iodoalkane product against further reaction
C. NaI is soluble in acetone while NaCl/NaBr are insoluble and precipitate out, pulling the equilibrium forward
D. liquid ammonia complexes with Na⁺ and thereby removes the leaving group
Example 3 · difficulty 1/5
Which of the following alkyl bromides undergoes an SN2 reaction with I⁻ in acetone at the fastest rate?
A. 1-Bromopropane
B. Bromomethane
C. 2-Bromopropane
D. 1-Bromo-2,2-dimethylpropane
