Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions
Aldehydes, carboxylic acids and ketones are widespread in the animal and plant kingdoms. They play a pivotal role in various biochemical processes of life. Their presence in nature adds fragrance and flavor. These compounds are widely used in food products, pharmaceuticals, paints, resins and other important product industries. These compounds are prepared by various laboratory methods, which mainly include oxidation, formylation, acylation and reduction. Due to the polar nature of the carbonyl group in aldehydes and ketones, they can exhibit different reactions like nucleophilic addition. They do exhibit redox and various condensation reactions which lead to the formation of various important compounds. On the other hand, the carboxylic acids are mainly prepared by oxidation and hydrolysis of different compounds. The carboxylic acid consists of a carbonyl group and the hydroxy group (attached to the carbonyl carbon atom). This makes it possible for the carboxylic acid to participate in various chemical reactions which involve cleavage of the \(C - OH\) bond and the O-H bond along with the reactions involving the complete - COOH group.
Which of the following compounds will give butanone on oxidation with chromic anhydride (CrO3)?
- A Butan-1-ol
- B Butan-2-ol
- C 2-Methyl propane
- D 2-Methyl butane
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Butan-2-ol
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Secondary alcohols oxidize to ketones. Butan-2-ol is a secondary alcohol. Butan-2-ol \((CH_3CH_2CH(OH)CH_3)\) will give butanone \((CH_3COCH_2CH_3)\) on oxidation with \(CrO_3\).

Second period elements of p-Block differs from the rest of their group members due to their small atomic size, high electronegativity, high ionization enthalpy and absence of d-orbitals. The elements from the second period like C, N, O have unique property of forming \(p \pi-p \pi\) multiple bonds whereas other heavier elements of p-block form \(d \pi-p \pi\) multiple bonds. This changes the properties of second period elements to great extent. Also the single bond strength of the p-block elements with their own atoms gets affected by their atomic size and presence of lone pairs.
Inert pair effect also affects the properties of the p-Block elements especially for those elements which are present from 4th period onward and this happens due to poor screening effect of inner (n-1)d subshell electrons.

In our body, cell growth and differentiation is highly controlled and regulated. In cancer cells, there is breakdown of these regulatory mechanisms. Cancerous cells just continue to divide giving rise to masses of cells called tumors. Benign tumors normally remain confined to their original location. The malignant tumors, on the other hand are a mass of proliferating cells. These cells actively divide and starve the normal cells by competing for vital nutrients. Cells sloughed from such tumors reach distant sites through blood, and wherever they get lodged in the body, they start a new tumor there. This property is called metastasis. Transformation of normal cells into cancerous cells may be induced by physical, chemical or biological agents called carcinogens.
