In which of the following bond angles on

s{p^3}

-hybridized are not contracted due to lone pair of electron?

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3}\mathrm{OC}{\mathrm{H}_3}

Option C (

\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3}\mathrm{OC}{\mathrm{H}_3}

) is correct because the oxygen atom in dimethyl ether has two lone pairs, but the steric bulk of the methyl groups prevents significant contraction of the bond angle.

Ethers are made free from peroxide linkage on distilling impure sample with: The product 'B' in the following reaction is

{\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_3}{\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_2}{\text{OH}}\xrightarrow{{{\text{PCC}}}}{\text{A}}\xrightarrow[{\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right){\text{ }}{{\text{H}}_2}{\text{O/}}{{\text{H}}^ + }}]{{\left( {\text{i}} \right){\text{ HCN}}}}{\text{B}}

Fenton’s reagent is: Assertion:- Isopropyl benzene reacts with

\mathrm{O}_2

and acid gives phenol.

Reason:- Initially isopropyl benzene converts into 2-phenyl propan-2-ol. When an ether is treated with

{\mathrm{P}_2}{\mathrm{S}_5}

we get: Physical properties of:
