Question

The hetero atoms present in
CH3 – CH2 – O – CH2 – CH2Cl are [NCERT Exemplar]
(i) oxygen
(ii) carbon
(iii) hydrogen
(iv) chlorine
(a) (i) and (ii)
(b) (ii) and (iii)
(c) (iii) and (iv)
(d) (i) and (iv)

Answer 1

Answer:

d) (i) and (iv)

Explanation :

. In organic chemistry, a heteroatom is any atom that is not carbon or hydrogen. Usually, the term is used to indicate that non-carbon atoms have replaced carbon in the backbone of the molecular structure. Typical heteroatoms are nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, phosphorus, chlorine, bromine, and iodine.

Answer 2

The correct answer is (d) (i) and (iv)

Explanation:

• Any atom which is not carbon and hydrogen comes under hetero atoms. It is more specifically used for non- carbon atoms which replaced the carbon atom in any molecular structure.
• Some of the heteroatoms are oxygen, sulfur, phosphorus, bromine, iodine, etc. Attraction for electrons in hetero atoms is different from carbon atom
• So the heteroatom in CH3 – CH2 – O – CH2 – CH2Cl is oxygen and chlorine. The correct answer is d.
