Official Solution
Correct Option: (2)
The question asks about the functional group present in sulphonic acid. Let's analyze the given options:
Option SO4H: The formula SO4H is not a standard representation of any known functional group in organic chemistry. It is not the functional group for sulphonic acids.
Option SO3H: This is the correct representation of the functional group present in sulphonic acids. The sulphonic acid group is denoted by -SO3H, which consists of a sulfur atom bonded to three oxygens and a hydrogen atom. The structure looks like: .
Option -SO2: This represents the sulfone group, which consists of a sulfur atom double-bonded to two oxygen atoms. This is not the same as the sulphonic acid group.
Option with image: For illustration purposes, let's assume that the image is another incorrect representation of the sulphonic acid functional group. Without seeing the image, we can't specifically identify it, but the key focus is on the correct formula.
Thus, the correct functional group present in sulphonic acids is , which matches the option SO3H. This functional group is characteristic of sulphonic acids, where the sulphur has complete octet conformation through its bonding with oxygen and hydrogen atoms.

Cyclohex-1-en-3-ol
4
Cyclohex-2-en-1-ol
Official Solution
Correct Option: (4)
The compound shown in the image is a substituted cyclohexane. To name it according to the IUPAC system, follow these steps:
Identify the longest carbon chain that includes the highest priority functional group, which in this case is the hydroxyl group (-OH).
Number the carbon atoms in the ring starting from the carbon to which the -OH group is attached and moving in the direction that gives the double bond the lowest possible number. Here, the -OH group gets priority due to its higher precedence over the alkene.
Assign numbers:
The hydroxyl group (-OH) is attached to carbon 1.
The double bond starts at carbon 2.
Combine the information to form the name:
The name will include "cyclohex" due to the six-carbon ring.
Use "en" to denote the double bond starting at carbon 2.
Use "ol" to indicate the presence of the hydroxyl group at carbon 1.
Therefore, the correct IUPAC name for the compound is Cyclohex-2-en-1-ol.
Let's rule out the other options:
Cyclohex-1-en-2-ol: Incorrect numbering, as the double bond should be at carbon 2.
1-Hydroxyhex-2-ene: This suggests an open chain structure, not a cyclic one.
Cyclohex-1-en-3-ol: Incorrect numbering for the placement of -OH and the double bond.
Hence, the correct answer is Cyclohex-2-en-1-ol.

Correct Option: (3)
To determine the correct IUPAC name for the complex , we need to follow the rules for naming coordination compounds:
Identify the Ligands: In the given complex, there are two types of ligands:
Two bromides (Br-), which are anionic ligands.
Two trimethylphosphine (PMe3) groups, which are neutral ligands.
Name the Ligands in Alphabetical Order: The ligands should be named in alphabetical order, regardless of their charge. Thus, we first mention "bromo" followed by "trimethylphosphine." The ligand name for PMe3 is simply "trimethylphosphine."
Use Multiplicative Prefixes: Since there are two of each ligand, the prefix "di" is used for both:
"dibromo" for the two bromide ligands.
"bis(trimethylphosphine)" for the two trimethylphosphine ligands. We use "bis" because "trimethylphosphine" is already a complex ligand name.
Name the Metal and its Oxidation State: The central metal atom is platinum (Pt). Its oxidation state is given in Roman numerals. For this complex, the oxidation state of platinum is +2.
How do we determine this? The complex is neutral overall. Each bromide contributes -1 to the charge, and the PMe3 groups are neutral:
Assemble the Name: Combining these names with the correct order and terminology gives us "dibromobis(trimethylphosphine)platinum(II)."
Thus, the correct IUPAC name for is dibromobis(trimethylphosphine)platinum(II), which matches option three.

The compound depicted in the image is a cyclohexane derivative with additional alkyl groups attached. To determine its IUPAC name, we need to follow these steps:
Identify the main carbon chain: The base structure is a cyclohexane ring.
Identify substituents:
There is an ethyl group attached to the carbon chain.
There are two methyl groups attached to the same carbon atom.
Number the carbon atoms in the ring to give the substituents the lowest possible numbers:
Start numbering from the carbon with the substituents that will obtain the lowest set of locants. Here, the carbon with two methyl groups is numbered as 1.
Continuing the numbering around the ring gives the ethyl group position 3 (clockwise numbering).
Compile the name:
The compound is named as 3-Ethyl-1,1-dimethylcyclohexane, indicating the positions and types of substituents.
Therefore, the correct IUPAC name for the compound is 3-Ethyl-1,1-dimethylcyclohexane.
To confirm the correct choice among the options:
1-Ethyl-5,5-dimethylcyclohexane - Incorrect numbering place for substituents.
3-Ethyl-1,1-dimethylcyclohexane - Correct, as reasoned above.
1-Ethyl-3,3-dimethylcyclohexane - Incorrect placement for ethyl group.
1,1-Dimethyl-3-ethylcyclohexane - Incorrect order of substituents.

The problem presents two statements regarding the identity of "aminobenzene" and "aniline" and asks to determine which statement is correct.
Concept Used:
This question is based on the principles of organic chemical nomenclature, specifically concerning aromatic amines. Organic compounds often have both a common name, which is historically prevalent, and a systematic IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) name. Sometimes, the common name is so widely used that it is also accepted as the official IUPAC name. The key is to identify the chemical structures corresponding to both names.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1: Define Aniline.
Aniline is the common name for the organic compound consisting of a phenyl group ( ) bonded to an amino group ( ). Its chemical formula is . This name is widely accepted and used in both academia and industry. The structure is a benzene ring with an attached group.
Step 2: Define Aminobenzene.
Aminobenzene is the systematic IUPAC name for the same compound. The nomenclature rules are applied as follows:
The parent hydrocarbon is benzene ( ).
An amino group ( ) is present as a substituent on the benzene ring.
According to IUPAC rules, when an group is a substituent, the prefix "amino-" is used. Therefore, the systematic name is formed by adding this prefix to the parent name, resulting in "aminobenzene".
Step 3: Compare the two names.
Both "aniline" and "aminobenzene" refer to the exact same chemical structure: . Aniline is the common name, which is also retained by IUPAC as a preferred name due to its extensive historical use. Aminobenzene is the formal, systematic IUPAC name.
Since both names describe the same single organic compound, the statement that they are the same is correct.
Step 4: Evaluate the given statements.
Statement (I): "Aminobenzene and aniline are same organic compounds." This statement is true, as established in Step 3.
Statement (II): "Aminobenzene and aniline are different organic compounds." This statement is false, as it contradicts the conclusion from Step 3.
Final Result:
Based on the analysis, Statement (I) is true and Statement (II) is false.
Therefore, Statement (I) is true but Statement (II) is false.

Correct Option: (4)
The problem asks for the IUPAC name of the given compound. To determine the correct name, we'll perform a step-by-step analysis based on IUPAC nomenclature rules:
The longest carbon chain contains 7 carbon atoms, hence the parent name is "heptane."
The compound contains both a double bond and a triple bond. According to IUPAC rules, the chain is numbered such that the multiple bond closest to the end receives the lowest possible number. Here, the numbering starts from the right to give the double bond position as 1 and the triple bond position as 6.
Numbering the chain this way: CH2=CH-CH2-CH(OH)-CH2-C≡CH shows positions for double bond as 1 (en-) and triple bond as 6 (yn-).
The hydroxyl group (OH) is taken as a substituent, and its location on the chain is at carbon 4 (4-ol).
Thus, the correct IUPAC name of the compound is "Hept-1-en-6-yn-4-ol."
Explanation of other options:
4-Hydroxyhept-1-en-6-yne: Incorrect as it does not correctly prioritize numbering for the double and triple bonds.
4-Hydroxyhept-6-en-1-yne: Incorrect placement of the double bond and triple bond numbering.
Hept-6-en-1-yn-4-ol: Incorrect prioritization of the triple bond position over the double bond.

Official Solution
Correct Option: (3)
Step 1: Identify the longest carbon chain. The longest continuous chain that includes the double bond consists of 4 carbon atoms, so the base name is "butene" (indicating a 4-carbon alkene). Step 2: Number the chain. Number the chain such that the double bond gets the lowest possible number. Since the double bond is between carbon 2 and carbon 3, we assign numbers to the carbon chain as follows: The double bond is between carbons 2 and 3, so the compound is "but-2-ene." Step 3: Identify the substituents. There is a methyl group (CH₃) attached to carbon 2. There is a bromo group (Br) attached to carbon 1. Step 4: Assign positions to the substituents. The methyl group is on carbon 2, and the bromo group is on carbon 1. The substituents should be numbered to give the lowest possible numbers, so the correct positions are: Methyl group on carbon 2 Bromo group on carbon 1 Step 5: Construct the IUPAC name. The name of the compound is 1-Bromo-2-methylbut-2-ene, where: "But" indicates the 4-carbon chain (butene). "2-ene" indicates the double bond between carbons 2 and 3. "2-methyl" refers to the methyl group on carbon 2. "1-bromo" refers to the bromo group on carbon 1. Thus, the correct name is 1-Bromo-2-methylbut-2-ene.
