An alkene ‘A’ contains three C–C, eight C–H σ bonds and one C–C π bond. ‘A’ on ozonolysis gives two moles of an aldehyde of molar mass 44 u. Write IUPAC name of ‘A’.

Draw the cis and trans structures of hex-2-ene. Which isomer will have higher b.p. and why?
Why is benzene extra ordinarily stable though it contains three double bonds?
What are the necessary conditions for any system to be aromatic?
Explain why the following systems are not aromatic? (i) Cyclopentadienyl anion (ii) Cycloheptatriene (iii) Cyclooctatetraene

In the alkane H3C–CH2–C(CH3)2–CH2–CH(CH3)2, identify 1°,2°,3° carbon atoms and give the number of H atoms bonded to each one of these.
What effect does branching of an alkane chain has on its boiling point?
Addition of HBr to propene yields 2-bromopropane, while in the presence of benzoyl peroxide, the same reaction yields 1-bromopropane. Explain and give mechanism.
