32. Which one of the following compound is obtained by the oxidation of primary alcohol with
nascent oxygen?
(a) Alkanal (b) Alkanone (c) Ether
(d) Amine
22 Xhinh is not consistent with double belical structure of DNA?​

Answer 1

Answer:

CH3-CH2-OH  ⇒ CH3-H-COH

i.e., alkanal is formed

Explanation:

Answer 2

Alkanal compound is obtained by the oxidation of primary alcohol with

nascent oxygen.

Explanation:

• Oxidation is the process that involves the addition of oxygen or any other electronegative elements or the removal of hydrogen or any other electropositive substance.
• Oxidation of primary alcohols with nascent oxygen gives Alkanal or Aldehydes.

          For example,

     $CH_3- CH_2-OH+[O] \rightarrow CH_3- CHO+H_2O$
