7. Bromination of cis-2-butene produces a racemic mixture whereas trans-2-butene produces a meso compound — why?

8. Write the stability order of 1-butene, cis-2-butene and trans-2-butene.

9. What is Markovnikov’s rule? 

10. What is Anti-Markovnikov’s condition? Give an example.

11. In the case of hydrohalogenation reaction………………..…..and ………………….…. addition occur.

15. What do you mean by vicinal and germinal dihalides? Give example in both cases.

16. What do you mean by halohydrin? How does it form?

17. What is NBS? Which purpose it serves in organic synthesis?

18. Hydroboration-Oxidation is an anti………………addition to alkenes.
