How will you explain the directive influence of -CHO group?
This can be explained by considering benzaldehyde in which -CHO group is an electron withdrawing group. The resonation structures of the molecules are:

Alkanes are less reactive. Why?
Out of n-pentane, isopentane and neopentane which has lower boiling point?
During the pyrolysis of alkanes C-C bonds break in preference to C-H bond. Why?
Define cracking.
What is the function of iodic acid in the iodination of alkanes? Can we use any other substance in its place?
What is alternation effect?
Arrange the following compounds in order of their increasing boiling points:
n-Pentane, n-Hexane, Ethane, 2-2-Dimethylpentane, 2-Methylpentane.
Why is light or heat necessary to initiate chlorination reaction of alkanes?
