2-Bromopentane is heated with alcoholic KOH. Which is the correct statement for this reaction?
A. Only pent-2-ene is formed.
B. Only pent-1-ene is formed.
C. Both pent-2-ene and pent-1-ene are formed.
D. pent-2-ene will be major product as it is more stable.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A A only
- B B only
- C C only
- D C, D only
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) C, D only
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Dehydrohalogenation of 2-bromopentane forms pent-1-ene and pent-2-ene. Pent-2-ene is more substituted and stable (Zaitsev's rule), making it the major product. Therefore, statements C and D are correct. Choose: C, D only.

- p-block elements are placed in groups 13 to 18 of the periodic table. Group 15 is nitrogen family.
Nitrogen makes various compounds like \(NH _3, HNO _3, N_2 O , NO _2\) etc. Phosphorus exists in the form of white and red phosphorus. White phosphorus glows in dark. \(PH _3\) gas is used as smoke screen. Group 16 is called oxygen family. Dry air contains \(21\% O_2\) gas by volume. Combined sulphur exists as sulphates such as gypsum, epsome salt, baryte etc. The allotropic forms of sulphur are Rhombic and monoclinic sulphur. \(S_2\) is paramagnetic like \(O_2\) and it stable at high temperature.
Group 17 is Halogen family. \(F_2\) is highly reactive, \(Cl _2\) is greenish yellow gas. Both \(SO _2\) and \(Cl _2\) are used for bleaching. Group 18 is Noble gas family but some noble gases also form compounds.
Complete hydrolysis of \(XeF _6\) gives HF and \(XeO _3\) as main products.
