Organic Chemistry II: Functional Groups, Polymers & Biomolecules
Solution
An organic compound reacted with bromine water to give a colourless solution. The compound is probably an?
A
alkene
B
alkanal
C
alkyl
D
alkanone
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Alkenes react in the cold with pure liquid bromine, or with a solution of bromine in an organic solvent like tetrachloromethane. The double bond breaks, and a bromine atom becomes attached to each carbon. The bromine loses its original red-brown colour to give a colourless liquid.
Alkynes also react with bromine, decolorising it though not as immediate as alkenes.

Organic Chemistry I: Hydrocarbons & Crude Oil
Solution
Which of the following molecules has two other positional isomers?
A
CH3CH2Br
B
CH3CHBrCH3
C
CBr2F2
D
CH2CHBrCH2Br
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Positional isomers, also known as position isomers, are molecules with the same molecular formula and the same functional groups, but where the functional groups are in different positions on the carbon chain. This type of structural isomerism results in molecules with distinct properties despite having the same overall chemical composition.
In Option D, the compound CH\(_2\)CHBrCH\(_2\)Br (1,2- dibromopropane) has two other isomers with itself as 1,1-dibromopropane and 2,2-dibromopropane. Hence, it is the correct answer.
