    Q3. Give reasons:


    a) Propanone is less reactive than ethanal towards nucleophilic addition reactions.
    b) (CH3)2CH-CHO undergoes aldol condensation whereas (CH3)3C-CHO does not.

    Q4. Give a chemical test to distinguish between Butanal and Butan-2-one.

    not.
    Q15. An organic compound with molecular formula C9H10O forms 2,4-DNP derivative, reduces

    with 2 4-DNP reagent. It does not reduce Tollens Reagent but gives yellow ppt. of iodoform on
    heating with NaOI. Compound 'X' on reduction with LiAlH4 gives compound 'Y' which
    undergoes dehydration reaction on heating with conc. H2SO4 to form But-2-ene. Identify the
