38. Read the text carefully and answer the questions: [5]
IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) system of nomenclature. Common names are
useful and in many cases indispensable, particularly when the alternative systematic names are lengthy and
complicated. A systematic name of an organic compound is generally derived by identifying the parent
hydrocarbon and the functional group(s) attached to it. By using prefixes and suffixes, the parent name can be
modified to obtain the actual name. In a branched-chain compound, small chains of carbon atoms are attached
at one or more carbon atoms of the parent chain. The small carbon chains (branches) are called alkyl groups.
An alkyl group is derived from a saturated hydrocarbon by removing a hydrogen atom from carbon.
Abbreviations are used for some alkyl groups. For example, methyl is abbreviated as Me, ethyl as Et, propyl as
Pr and butyl as Bu.
(i) Assertion (A): Acid found in red ant is named formic acid.
Reason (R): Buckminsterfullerene is a common name given to the newly discovered C 60 cluster.

a) Both A and R are true and R is theb) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct
explanation of A.correct explanation of A.

c) A is true but R is false. d) A is false but R is true.

(ii) Assertion (A): Compounds containing carbon and hydrogen only are called hydrocarbons.
Reason (R): Unsaturated hydrocarbons are those, which contain a single bonded carbon only.

explanation of A.correct explanation of A.

c) A is true but R is false. d) A is false but R is true.

(iii) Assertion (A): C7H14 is butane.

explanation of A.correct explanation of A.
c) A is true but R is false. d) A is false but R is true.

(iv) Assertion (A): As CH4 becomes -CH3 it is called a methyl group.

Reason (R): An alkyl group is named by substituting ‘yl’ for ‘ane’ in the corresponding alkane.

explanation of A.correct explanation of A.
