This section is designed to prepare students for high-frequency and high-difficulty questions on hydrocarbons asked in competitive examinations. The focus is on accuracy, speed, and conceptual clarity, enabling students to handle tricky reaction-based and mechanism-driven problems.
In this section, you will practice:
Rapid identification and classification of hydrocarbons
Reaction prediction for alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes
Comparative reactivity and stability-based questions
Markovnikov vs. anti-Markovnikov addition problems
Isomerism-based and structure-identification questions
Multi-step reaction sequence and product analysis
Assertion–reason, match-the-following, and integer-type MCQs
Previous-year and NCERT-based competitive exam questions
The content is structured to improve exam temperament, strengthen elimination strategies, and minimize common mistakes under time pressure.
Mastering hydrocarbons at the competitive exam level ensures confidence and accuracy in the organic chemistry sections of JEE, NEET, and other national-level tests.
Q. What is the major product of the hydration of propene in the presence of sulfuric acid?
A.
Propan-1-ol
B.
Propan-2-ol
C.
Propanoic acid
D.
Propyl sulfate
Solution
The major product of the hydration of propene is propan-2-ol due to Markovnikov's rule.
